Yahoo! is adding a comedy channel to its online line-up, kicking it off with a "CrazyStupidPolitics" show starring Bill Maher live in Silicon Valley in February. Channel offerings will include short videos from Saturday Night Live television show writer Mike O'Brien and others as well as content from partners including online hit Funny or Die.
Take-over target Yahoo! has been trying to transform itself into a platform for personalised, premier digital content since the Internet pioneer was overtaken in the online search arena by Google.
