Weird Newscasters
1988-present
Also known as Newsflash, News Report
Four-person news broadcast: one straight anchor delivers a top story while co-anchor, sports, and weather each have an audience-assigned quirk.
Known for
- One of eight Whose Line games performed in every season of the American version.
- Straight anchor's job is to hold structure and feed; the three quirk players compete for laughs.
- Teaches justification — the quirk must make narrative sense within a news format.
- Different from Party Quirks because the quirks are announced to the audience up front.
