Answer 1

American humour and sensibilities are different.

American humour tend to be showbiz hog the limelight and be the best. UK is self depreciating, being the underdog is where it’s at. 

Translating to panel shows, it’s all about the win for the US, all about the best gag for the UK.

Map that on to shows and you can see why UK has a lot of them.
