Can the US Be Trusted with Pandas? | HIGNFY S5 E3
Pandas provide the newest detour in Have I Got News For You US's nine-upload week. “Can the US Be Trusted with Pandas? | HIGNFY S5 E3” is currently drawing the most daily views of the channel's active videos, giving the episode another entry point beyond its longer political segments.
The biggest new upload overall remains “Trump's Midterm Election? & Hegseth Shrinks The Pentagon! | HIGNFY S5 E3,” with roughly 407,000 views. Comedian Dave Foley and political strategist Ashley Allison join Roy Wood Jr., Amber Ruffin and Michael Ian Black for discussion of midterm advertising, polling and Pete Hegseth's military address. A separate Jack Smith testimony segment has also attracted a substantial audience, with a basketball-team mix-up among its comic subjects.
The channel added about a million views and gained subscribers over the week, although daily viewing is now well below its usual pace. Nearby, Would I Lie To You? had a particularly busy viewing week, while New Zealand Today was quieter. Here, the panda question is bringing the shortest route into an episode whose longer discussions continue to draw views.
