Host Conor Knighton and comedic crew wickedly skewer the week in media. Includes a lingerie scandal featuring Miss USA contestants, viral videos of homemade amusement park rides, Larry King's creepy behavior toward female guests on his show, a song about freaky animals, questions over Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan's sexuality, local news reports on crime at the Waffle House, and an issue of "Playboy" featuring a 3-D centerfold.

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, Erin Gibson, Ben Hoffman, Bryan Safi 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/ or on Current TV.

    • I see what we are going for with the bar at the bottom, how about making is shorter? There seems to be a lot of wasted space, probably people dont like looking through the bar to see the entire video, like glaring through a screen door... just bump the size down a bit, and let it be more like the size of a stock ticker.

      I'm a big fan of Infomania, I watch it every week, and I make a point to showing it to my friends. Keep up the good work!

    • I don't know if I missed the initial anger over the bar or if people don't hate it as much as I do... but I hate it, and to go along with it the "on this episode" rundown we're starting to get.

      It's fitting that this weeks' "how the..." magazine is about ADD, they think the audience has to be reminded about what awesomeness we're have ahead because if the segment we're watching bores us we might change the channel.

      Good job on giving a Current viewer enough credit to watch the whole show.

      Also... since I'm being a hater, I hate all the adds, it kills the flow of the magazine segment and I don't need Conor telling me about Geico.

    • Maybe the lady who's just gotta eat chalk has a blackboard inside her. Ever think of that? It would explain a lot. And what is with the crazy anger over the bar? Get over it haters. Find another inappropriate target for your seething bile.

    • Conor, I can teach you some Spanish whenever you like... Also, Bryan has to do the next That's Gay on the Ramin Setoodeh's Newsweek article. And congrats for the Webby winning, you totally deserve it.

      Luv ya'll...

    • Suggestion: notice there is a lot of TV cancellations where you are (in the US) maybe a R.I.P. piece of the shows that are just cancelled... (like FlashForward)

    • Good show, I loved Ben's song about freaky animals, and Brett's VVFS was pretty hilarious. I'm even starting to warm up to the new Modern Lady segment, though I miss Sarah :(

      I'm also loving Connor's "3 favorite things" thingy at the very end, he did that last week too. You should keep doing it.

      Also, congrats on the webby!!!! :)
