infoMania was a weekly satirical news show that first premiered on Current TV in 2007. Hosted by comedians Brett Erlich and Ben Hoffman, the show aired for four seasons and aimed to provide a unique take on the week's news and pop culture. Each episode of infoMania was divided into segments that focused on a particular theme or topic. The segments varied in format and style, ranging from satirical news reports to comedic skits and parodies. Some of the recurring segments included "Target Women," which comically analyzed advertisements and media targeting women, and "Web Redemption," in which internet viral video stars were interviewed and given a chance to redeem themselves from their previous online fails.

In addition to the regular segments, infoMania also had a team of correspondents who contributed satirical news reports on a range of topics, from political scandals to celebrity gossip. The show also frequently featured guest comedians and personalities, including Patton Oswalt, Chelsea Peretti, and David Cross.

One of the most distinct and innovative aspects of infoMania was its use of technology and online media. The show was one of the first to take advantage of the internet's growing influence and popularity as a platform for news and entertainment. Many of the segments and correspondents' reports focused on internet culture, such as social media trends and viral videos.

In addition, infoMania was one of the first shows to use Twitter extensively as a part of its format. The show regularly incorporated tweets from its viewers and engaged in live online discussions with followers during its broadcasts.

Overall, infoMania was a unique and irreverent take on news and media that offered a fresh perspective on the week's events. Its innovative use of technology and online media helped to make it a pioneering force in the emerging landscape of digital media. Despite ending its run in 2011, the show remains a beloved cult classic and continues to influence the comedy and media landscapes to this day.
