A proposito di questo titolo

Hosted by Negin Farsad, everyone's favorite Iranian American Muslim Comedian Podcast Host with Black Hair and Red Glasses, Fake the Nation is a comedy show that isn't afraid to talk about news, culture, and humanity’s weirdness. Every week Negin is joined by her funniest, smartest, and most politically astute friends. People like Samantha Bee, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Paula Poundstone, Margaret Cho, Larry Wilmore and others. They’ll make you laugh, think, and deliver a gut punch to the country we all love, America. It's like a really fun dinner party where nothing is off limits but you don’t have to pretend to like salad.

    This week, comedian and Fake the Nation host Negin Farsad is joined by Washington Post Style Writer Shane O’Neill and comedian/Daily Show writer Matt Koff.

Plus, they look at new data that shows more and more Americans are getting their news from comedians and influencers instead of actual news. And finally, why are some Gen Z men attracted to Catholicism? Shane wrote an article on the very subject!

    Apr 16 2026

    This week, comedian and host Negin Farsad brings you two conversations from the vault. Jordan Carlos and Justin Krebs join to discuss why people would wait in the longer self-checkout line instead of using the SHORTER line with a human cashier. It's happening and we need to understand why!? John Hodgman and Emily Flake also join to discuss how to make long lasting friends. Together they have all the answers...or none of them, you decide!

  • 510. Hegseth's Wet Hair (w/Jeremy Pinsly and Mary Houlihan)
    Apr 9 2026

    This week, comedian and host Negin Farsad is joined by comedian and host of the podcast The Mary Houlihan Show, Mary Houlihan! She’s also joined by comedian and founder of the brand new club, The Greenpoint Comedy Club in Brooklyn! Together, they ask, would you pay money to go on a reading retreat where a bunch of strangers read one book out loud? And, would you pay money for the “Relax Row” – and if you don’t know what that is, press play! They also get into the politics of war, the politics of space and the politics of the Florida special elections. Finally, new research indicates that the most popular degrees don’t actually pay the bills. What gives?
