It's Season 1, Episode 1 of The Kathay & Dan Show. Early reviews from Hollywood suggest they may be the Sonny & Cher of Fair Maps. You have to be almost as old as Elbridge Gerry to understand that comedic reference.

If you don’t subscribe to the Gerrymander Gazette you should, it’s a monthly dose of the fight for fair maps with a heavy dose of the funny. Yes, democracy reform is fun! And with this episode, it’s Season 1, Episode 1 of The Kathay & Dan Show, the first pilot program from Gerrymander GazetTeeVee (GGTV). Some early reviews:

So that’s what passes for comedy these days? — Variety

Kathay & Dan are the Sonny & Cher of fair maps — a new generation of policy geeks that laugh at their opposition, and we’re certain would sing off tune if the sang. Thankfully, they don’t. — The Hollywood Reporter

People have often said Washington is like Hollywood. We’re not sure which town benefits from this, but it’s free.  — The Washington Post
