Calling 22 minutes Canadian SNL is so fucking lazy. One is a live variety show and the other is pre filmed satirical news. 

If anything 22 minutes is Canadian Colbert/John Steward

Also, we claim SNL as Canadian already anyway

It's like a Canadian Monty Python's Circus.

Aren't those studio interview heavy, though? SNL is where I'd go to explain 22 to a foreigner, even though the live broadcast gimmick isn't there.They do do on-location interviews sometimes, I guess...

I dunno 22 minutes is cut and dry satire. SNL is a variety show, sure they dip their toe into pop politics but it's primarily about entertainment/comedy 

The difference between Colbert and 22 minutes is one is more of an ensemble and the other is held down primarily by an Individual. There's a talk show element to Stuart/Colbert that isn't there for 22 minutes either
