Effectively a SpiritualSuccessor to ''Series/TheColbertReport'', the show is a parody of Radio/AlexJones and the general trend of "Alt-Right" media commentators. (Notably, the show managed to attract the ire of Alex Jones ''before the series even premiered''. This did not go unacknowledged.) The show features a similar assortment of wacky correspondents, and occasionally shows excerpts from a fictional "Opposition Radio".
