Have I Got News for You "Have I Got News for You" is the title of a famous TV show. Does this title mean " I Have Got News for You"? And, why should it be written as "Have I Got" instead of "I Have Got"?

"Have you got news for me?" "Have I got news for you?" Answering a question with a question this way is a way of saying "Yes", but in a more dramatic way. I would definitely think this person has news for me, and it sounds exciting. For some reason I think it might be a cultural language device originating from New York. The title of the show presupposes the initial question, although the device seems to have evolved to a statement in itself without the need for a leading question. "I have got news for you" is still a grammatically correct statement though.
