CBS Cancels ‘Two and a Half Men'

HOLLYWOOD (The Borowitz Report) – In a dramatic announcement today, CBS said it would cancel the hit sitcom Two and a Half Men and instead mount a 24-hour camera on Charlie Sheen’s head.

“After careful consideration, we’ve decided this would be much more entertaining for our viewers,” said CBS spokesperson Carol Foyler.

Ms. Foyler said that Mr. Sheen’s head had been fitted with a rugged camera more often used in war zones like Afghanistan and Iraq.

The first episode of the show, in which Mr. Sheen wakes up after a night of partying with porn stars, has already been screened for CBS executives who pronounced themselves “delighted” with the results.

“To be honest, we were all surprised how much it played like an episode of CSI,” she said.

1. You know his life would be the PERFECT reality show.

I'm 100% sure they could pull in more viewers with that than with 2.5 Men.

The sh*t he's up to is INSANE!!

3. Anyone here notice how much less funny that joke became after you found out Andy Borowitz wrote it?

He's like the Carlos Mencias of comedians.

4. Dammit, I thought you were serious

That has to be one of the most sexist, asinine, unoriginal shows ever broadcast on television.

It must be opposite something else I watch. Googling.... Hmmm. Monday? I must have been watching MNF.

5. Wow. Who coulda saw that coming?

I'm sure that the cast, crew and execs know who to thank for all the impending free time that they're going to have on their hands.

Edit: Ah, Borowitz. Never mind.

But I did see this:
