On this week's infoMania Rod Blagojevich and his amazing hair hit the TV circuit, Brett exposes us to the underappreciated world of YouTube talent, The Economist finds out what has replaced money inside the bank's vaults (smelly toxic poison), Sergio counts down the Top 5 Country Tracks according to Yahoo, Conor gets an exclusive from the news: it's cold outside and we bring Target Women: Botox out from the vault.

infoMania is a half-hour satirical news show that airs on Current TV. The show puts a comedic spin on the 24-hour chaos and information overload brought about by the constant bombardment of the media. Hosted by Conor Knighton and co-starring Brett Erlich, Sarah Haskins, Ben Hoffman, and Sergio Cilli, the show airs on Thursdays at 10 pm Eastern and Pacific Times and can be found online at current.com/infomania. And make sure to check out our facebook profile for special features at infomaniafacebook.com.

    Bringing back Botox, pretty cool.

    And Brett should make a logo for VVFS for the wall.

    IM notes:
    I didn't even know Richard Quest was allowed back after his shenanigans in Central Park last year.

    I laughed so hard at the amazing clapping skills of Brett. Wow!

    Is it chest hair like Burt Reynolds because if so, I really don't mind. lol

    Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go download Marco Polo. I can't get it out of my head now. Thanks IM. Thanks so much.

    Another great show guys, I've recovered since my broadband modem broke down this week. :(

    Also,Target Women: Botox' is one of my favourite episode of that segment. A suggestion for a future episode: red carpet coverage? (as we're in award season)

    Brett @ Viral Video Film School cracks me up. This guy should have his own show.

    This was my "FIX" for the day.

    Thanks!

    A great episode. It's good to know that a) the Obamas "fist" b) that some people miss lead paint (and asbestos too, presumably) c) that Obama's name is going to be plastered over EVERYTHING for the next four years and d) that that guy at the end apparently has some really, really supportive friends.

    the best 30 minutes on TV and the Web, and the most entertaining in years!!! but you all knew that already i'm sure. great team. hope to never see a "shelly long" occur with your show, because the whole package is what makes IM rock!

    soooooo glad I can view IM online, as being the cheap bastard I am, i made cuts to my DirecTV programming last week, which unfortunately included Current. just preparing for the future extinction of television as we know it. :-)

    Perhaps it's a little late to be asking, but will the Target: Women special be posted online early enough to replace the Superbowl for internet Infomania viewers? I live on campus and don't receive Current on TV... :c

    Viral videos are kinda the new Vaudeville. Random bizarre talent everywhere...and Richard Quest! Whereas it appears the Brett is minor Indian deity...does anybody have a picture of a six-armed Brett for the wall?
