Linda Zervakis to Host First AI-Driven Satire Show on ProSieben

The new show, 'Fake News - Alles erstunken und erlogen,' debuts December 18, using artificial intelligence to create humorous fake news clips.

  • ProSieben's upcoming satire show will be the first in German television to openly use AI-generated videos for comedic purposes.
  • The show, hosted by former 'Tagesschau' anchor Linda Zervakis, will present fake news in a news studio format alongside Katrin Bauerfeind and Benni Stark.
  • The pilot episode, airing December 18 on ProSieben and Joyn, will serve as a year-end special, with plans for a full series in 2025.
  • AI-generated clips will parody prominent figures and scenarios, such as Donald Trump learning German and Karl Lauterbach challenging Markus Söder.
  • ProSieben describes the format as a bold step in comedy, aiming to entertain viewers with transparent, entirely fabricated news stories.
