I'm not a HUGE TV show watcher, but I will give this my best shot before 12:00. How about a fusion between a news show, and improvisational comedy (in the style of Whose Line is it Anyway?/Saturday Night Live)
Each segment of the show would consist of a few set pieces. In each segment, a group of about three people would be put on the set, which comes with some sort of very broad story line. Within the context of the story, the cast would need to improvise everything while including news of certain events that occurred that day (Except no tragedies would be reported, so the improv comedy wouldn't seem irreverent.
I think the show would be a huge success because Americans desire to get their news in an entertaining way (thus The Daily Show, Red Eye, Glenn Beck, and Stephen Colbert), and they also love comedy sketches, especially improv comedy (Whose Line is it Anyway). What is a more of a perfect marriage than comedy sketches with news? It would be original because although there have been shows making fun of the news, they were all set up like regular news shows. This would be set up like a regular comedy show, but be a news show.
The balance between invention and convention is fairly obvious. the convention is the news show, and the comedy sketch show. The invention is the combination of both of them which is something most people will have never seen before.
