Israeli TV show attacks taboos with humor
Thursday evening and the line outside Israel's Channel 2 production facility is getting longer. Dozens of eager fans are waiting to enter the studio for the season finale taping of, "Eretz Nehederet," or "What a Wonderful Country." It's one of the hottest tickets in town as the program, finishing up its seventh season, is the country's single most popular and influential television comedy. The show, a hybrid of sorts between America's "Saturday Night Live" and "The Daily Show," offers up a weekly dose of biting political satire in the familiar fake news and sketch format.
Impersonations of politicians and pop culture figures are the show's stock and trade. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu routinely gets pilloried as an indecisive and smarmy buffoon unable to keep his fractious political coalition in check while his political rival Tzipi Livni is portrayed as a feckless and egomaniacal politician battling an addiction to Facebook.
