Is the TV show This Hour Has 22 Minutes available on Netflix, Disney+, Prime or Apple TV+?

As the Stream Tracker team, here’s a quick guide to This Hour Has 22 Minutes (2009) and where to look for it. A long-running Canadian weekly comedy that began during the 1993 federal election, the show rigs up a mock news desk to skewer politics with sharp editorial monologues, off‑beat sketches, parody commercials and awkward on‑the‑street interviews. With original voices like Cathy Jones, Rick Mercer, Greg Thomey and Mary Walsh, the series trades in pointed satire, slanted camera angles and newsroom-style chaos to lampoon the week’s headlines. This Hour Has 22 Minutes has earned critical recognition in Canada over the years, including multiple Gemini Awards for its writing and performances. If you’re wondering whether you can stream those political takedowns tonight, availability varies by country: check Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video and Apple TV+ listings in your region.

Synopsis

Airing weekly on CBC since its launch during Canada’s 35th federal election in 1993, the series skewers Canadian politics and current affairs through a faux-newscast framework that blends sketch comedy, parody advertisements and sharp satirical commentary. Performed by an ensemble that included Cathy Jones, Rick Mercer, Greg Thomey and Mary Walsh, the program alternates newsroom-style pieces with on-location stunts, scripted sketches and mock interviews of public figures, often using deliberately tilted camera angles to heighten the comic absurdity.
