Infowars is back—sort of. The conspiracy-fueled platform, originally led by far-right radio show host Alex Jones, relaunches this week courtesy of The Onion. At its helm is comedian Tim Heidecker (of Tim and Eric), who joins What Next with guest host Lizzie O’Leary to discuss the website's parody revival, including the behind-the-scenes of a story about the "death" of Alex Jones.

@TimHeidecker also speaks to the Onion’s legal saga in acquiring Infowars, his ongoing battles with Alex Jones, comedy’s MAGA turn, and why the future of satire might be a streaming startup and not a late night show. Watch now: youtu.be/iSEc1n92Yfo?si=nuzWoiJ-PS7KSpff. #podcast #comedy #alexjones
