Satirist-In-Chief: Anthony Atamanuik Mines Trump's Darkness For Comedic Gold - HuffPost

"I like the darkness,” explained Atamanuik, the show’s creator and star.
In an interview with HuffPost, the comedian broke down why such unsettling material can be so valuable.
“We don’t have to look at the bad things. We don’t have to look at our history,” Atamanuik asserted. As he put it, American citizens safely ignore the “ill that our society is built on,” preferring to remain in a state of blissful ignorance and repression. By addressing this ill head-on and “putting a fun spin” on it, Atamanuik said it’s possible to understand it in a deeper way and “have ownership and authorship over how it gets presented."

His show makes SNL trump satire look like
amateur night, and his maniacally spot on trump mannerisms must make Alec Baldwin feeling a little jealous

"Now, you've defended con artists, mobsters, and foreign agents. But have you ever done all three at once?"

"This would be the first.'

4. Only seen one so far but if it gets attention it should go far.

I find the 45 guy (who IS that?) not quite disgusting enough but the idea is great and Mario Cantone made me shriek. I hope he rides The Mooch like a two dollar mule. 😄

8. These days DC is a dark, self-satirizing comedy.

“Not since Harry Truman has anybody done so much. That's a long time ago.” Sure was...

13. Cathartic!

I can't even watch Trump speak without getting sick in the first five seconds. But I can handle this.

Between Anthony and Colbert's scaramooch MOUTH, keeps me from the banana trail

18. I was going to post the same

I've seen every episode and it is bitingly funny, sardonic and right on target.

No other program captures the essence of don the con quite the way this show does.

Satirically it is right up there with Python.

It is brilliant in every way. Bravo!
