WThe Fake Show is a talk show and news satire program covers the biggest news stories in Iraq and the Arab World. In politics, pop culture and more. Hosted by Sami Quinn, an alien in human form. The show first premiered on October 25, 2019 on YouTube, inspired by American television programs like The Daily Show, Last Week Tonight, and The Opposition with Jordan Klepper. The fake show is the first satire show in Arabic language that breaks every taboo and makes fun-uniquely, even of the clerical establishment and its icons in a straightforward fashion. Comedy, It's no laughing matter. Especially when it attempts to drive humor from the political process in Iraq or the Arab world, that's why The Fake Show plays with self-referential humor, black comedy, and dark sarcasm, by shaping serious-delicate issues like ISIS, racism, Iran-backed militias, assassinations, women's rights, and human rights violation in a form of humor that makes you catch the differences between political satire, comedy itself, and the regular daily news. The main message focuses on major goals such as fighting for free speech and exposing the political corruption in the Arab world and the political parties in Iraq after the 2003 invasion, by making half-half funny-serious segments of people trying to hide their actions behind a fake cloud of holiness, either under a religious excuse, family historical-sacred titles, or their own political and military history.
