infoMania
Host Conor Knighton and comedic crew wickedly skewer the week in media. Check out "The Miss Universe Pageant," the Kardashians with George Lopez on "Larry King Live," Rob Blagojevich at Comic Con, and Hillary Clinton up a tree.

This brand new episode features Sergio Cilli staging an MGMT "Music Intervention," Ben Hoffman debuting his new segment, "Kid's Kouch," and a football edition of "Viral Video Film School." Plus, Conor channels a young Bill O'Reilly and takes on celebrities selling crap on TV.

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 10/9c on Current TV.

    • Fuck Me, I guess. I'd watch the show, but your probly getting better corperate support pissing me off by producing a show
      I'll never be allowed to watch. Here I am in the center of the westen civilized world drowning in the over flow of a human hybrid population from eurisia, half wits, tribal gang's, cops and of course FIREWIFE.

      THANK YOU!! I didn't want to be the one either, but that kid is on it for almost the entire segment. It seems so ridiculous that no one from shooting the segment to editing seemed to notice....

    • OH LOOK! Another incredibly stupid Music "Intervention" by Sergio.

      All programming has an expiration date. Sergio's segment on infoMania needs to be retired if he can't do any better than this.

      "Hey MGMT! Start making videos that are boring, mainstream, & brainless!! (and then I'll make fun of you for that, too.)" -- probably said or thought by Sergio

      unLESS you're trying to promote MGMT (you did say you love their music)... in that case, i take it back..

      but seriously, their videos are cool. strange = remarkable = art

      so why are you trashing art?????? please stick to trashing non-art (like Soulja Boy).

    • Yep, did you know they stoped posting new episodes of "infomania" anywhere? Except on 'current's' server. This week I saw an AT$T spot and then the quivering bulshit I can't watch " the show ' started skipping enlessly.
      How many weeks does it take to watch infomania ONE ,TWO THREE, more than that, I use At&t for internet service , I look for infomania , I watch At&T comershals on currents server then I am not allowed to watch the show.
      Still trying to watch "Jet blue" and forward,,, As you may rember I saw your show once, Took! the second and only episode I ever saw and was not supposed to be able to watch of an obsure server and sence that point on Current is not available to wach online.

      Happy aniversery jerk ass ciggerett, shit fuck bitch.

    • The dude from Man Woman Wild is 'supposed' to be a Special Forces guy? Yet he's drinking straight piss?!?! What a fucking retard. Does he not know how to make a simple perspiration and sand filter to extract the water alone into a cup???

      That moron needs to watch some more SurvivorMan before he kills himself. Or better idea, let him kill himself. I'll call it 'Non-survival of the fittest'

      ZING!!! Too bad no one else was around to see how clever that was...

      PS: I hate Football and it's fans. I literal lol'd at "BLRFF"

    • Seriously, this had to be the BEST, most hilarious infoMania to date. The VVFS tackle + punch = wicked. Ben with the kids, creepy. Brian and Serg were on top of things too. Keep up the great work!

      Ever considered that maybe your internet connection is simply not fast enough to load the video? Or maybe you could try asking Current's staff for technical assistance, like I did several months ago when the videos wouldn't work for me. Either way, you should probably be a little bit more polite. I highly doubt anyone is "blacklisting" you.
