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 http://current.com/infomania.

Target Women is the only reason I watched Infomania. Now it's gone. And I'm miserable. Oh but smile giggle face, cause I can still watch it here!
Sarah rocks, forevah.

Sarah, you are an inspiration. :) You help shine a light on the bizarre way women are betrayed in the media and treated like imbeciles.
One thing you haven't covered yet though - and I wish you would - is how incredibly weird the front of "women's magazines" are. Pick up the cover of...say.. "Woman's World," "First," "All You," "Good Housekeeping," "Redbook," "Self," ... etc. THEY all say on the cover, often these topics are side by side,:
-lose weight but bake a great dessert
-be organized and financially on top of everything but stop worrying and get rid of those frown lines
-save money on everything but have designer fashions
-anything...and I mean ANYTHING...in 10 minutes or lessSeriously, take a look at the cover of these magazines and you'll see why women are so conflicted. It's like a visit to the critical mother inside your head. These covers scream, 'you aren't good enough, no matter what you do.'

I saw your comment and had to reply... I completely agree with you, most of the women's magazines scream "you're not good enough" to women. It's unbelievable, that is why I don't buy them or even read them whenever I'm waiting at a Dr.'s apt. It's a waste. This is something Sarah should definitely do a pod on.

I am one of the 7-8 who saw this special on TV last night. My 16 year old daughter and I were cracking up. You certainly are better than what is playing on Comedy Central these days (..months/years? except for J Stewart, of course). Great eye for the comedic value for our existence. Keep up the good work.

The best part is I had the audio running from this on the computer when Sarah is talking about the "poo" paradox. At the same time, Infomania is on TV silently in the background.
I forgot that, and from the angle I was at, when I looked over at the TV from across the room, I saw Conor's Christian Bale impersonation lip synced to Sarah's poo segment.
That almost inspired me enough to rewrite my editing class project. I so need to to find a way to work with you guys.
I admire your honesty Sarah. I was wondering what the deal with women and "number 2" is anyway. Funny story, one time my ex-girlfriend was in the bathroom for a "longer than made sense" period of time. This is before the misadventures in better living through chemistry, so at this point the delay in the bathroom was more humorous curiosity than anything else.
I knocked on the door, and after getting several comical responses, I stuck my fingernail in the lock and walked in. Low and behold there was Candy, acting awkward, as the toilet seat was down.
I said:
"What's going on?"
"Nothing"
"Uh...OOO-K. What's in the cup?"
(she was holding one of those big token cups from the casinos in Vegas and covering it)
"goldfish"
(brain goes WTF?)
There is no punchline, except that as the sequence of events came together, it turns out "number 2" had gotten stuck in the metaphorical fishbowl, but then the fishbowl wouldn't flush, so she had removed the small goldfish and apparently had plans to transfer them via Circus Circus cup to an undisclosed location until such time as the toilet could be repaired rather than bare the indignity of having to call me to fix the toilet having seen that she "poo'd" in it.
Sincerely, lol is used too much, but that was a real lol moment.
There is nothing like a hot pseduo-celebrity standing there trying to hide the goldfish from you because that is how some women apparently feel about such things behind the scenes.
Oh, silly, silly humans.

Haha that is hilarious. I am a woman, but for some reason none of my girlfriends seem to have any problem talking about #2...it's almost like they enjoy talking about it...I'm not the same, but I'm also not crazy enough not to simply ask where the plunger is. lol. I do, however, know of many females who might have gone to the same lengths as in your story. Way too funny.

I watched your program once, I loved it. When are you going to be on Dishnetwork (Current) again? And I don't mean a clip on info mania.
Yesterday the Dishnetwork guide showed you for 8pm central time on current, but you were'nt there, I'm pissed. I want my money back, Do you think Dishnetwork will give me a free month?

Sarah Haskins! Thank you for providing an alternative to the SuperBowl for that small but important subset of middle to upper-middle class people able to afford cable with more than 148 channels, that don't like football or 3-D commercials, AND are into counter-culture intellectual humor.
So basically, the 20-or-so people who've commented on this so far. Minus the one person who said he couldn't watch it because you weren't hot. That person doesn't count.
In full disclosure, I also don't count. I rooted for the Cubs. I think. I'm not really sure.

Like her only gold is treasured! I have extra antipathy for the expensive jewelry market, so why didn't I notice that that was one of the funniest episodes earlier?
A parenting dilemma: when should you wean your young female childrens off of manwiches and gross takeout and start them on their all-yogurt diet?
LOLOL at quoting Miley Cyrus.
