==Other shows based on the ''Have I Got News for You'' format== Shows based on the ''Have I Got News for You'' format are broadcast in other countries: * American weekly radio show ''[[Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!]]'' was started in 1998 on public radio network [[NPR]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.npr.org/programs/wait-wait-dont-tell-me/513277599/wait-wait-for-feb-4-2017-with-not-my-job-guest-mavis-staples |title=NPR Wait, Wait ... Don't Tell Me |publisher=NPR |date=2017 |access-date=2 March 2017}}</ref> Based in Chicago, the show follows a similar format, but with three individual panellists competing to win. They play some of the same games including fill in the missing headline, however many TV games have to be excluded due to their visual nature. Frequently the same stories are covered on both ''Wait Wait'' and ''Have I Got News for You''. Differences include: listeners calling in to win mini games, and a celebrity interview and quiz in the middle of the show. ''Wait Wait'' is more closely related to ''[[The News Quiz]]'' which is also the inspiration for ''Have I Got News for You''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nightlisteners.com/public/wait-wait-don%E2%80%99t-tell-me%E2%80%A6/ |title=Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me... « Night Listeners |publisher=Nightlisteners.com |date=13 May 2009 |access-date=28 April 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091201165659/http://www.nightlisteners.com/public/wait-wait-don%E2%80%99t-tell-me%E2%80%A6/ |archive-date=1 December 2009 }}</ref>{{unreliable source?|date=June 2023}} * Comedian [[Roy Wood, Jr.]] began hosting an [[Have I Got News for You (American game show)|American version of the show]] for [[CNN]] in September 2024.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/roy-wood-jr-cnn-have-i-got-news-for-you-1235969492/|title=Roy Wood Jr. to Host CNN's 'Have I Got News for You'|website=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]|last=Porter|first=Rick|date=August 8, 2024|access-date=August 8, 2024|language=en}}</ref> It was initially commissioned for a ten-episode run, with [[Amber Ruffin]] and [[Michael Ian Black]] as team captains.<ref name="guardianUS">{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2024/sep/14/have-i-got-news-for-you-us-version |title='Comedy thrives in dark times': is the US ready for Have I Got News for You? |last=Jones |first=Callum |date=14 September 2024 |newspaper=[[The Guardian]] |access-date=14 September 2024}}</ref> Black had previously served as a team captain for a [[Television pilot|pilot]] episode produced by [[NBC]] on 20 November 2009, with host [[Sam Seder]] and opposing team captain [[Greg Giraldo]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.theblacklistnyc.com/gotnews|title=Have I Got News For You|date=20 November 2009|access-date=28 December 2009}}</ref> Two other pilot versions of the show had been made in the US prior to its CNN run, commissioned by [[Cable television in the United States|cable]] channels [[Bravo (American TV network)|Bravo]] and [[TBS (American TV channel)|TBS]].<ref name="guardianUS" /> * Dutch comedian [[Raoul Heertje]] appeared on the original ''Have I Got News for You'' in May 1995.
