The President Show Premieres This Sunday May 7

NOW FOR SOME FAKE NEWS: DONALD J. TRUMP* IS COMING TO NEW ZEALAND THIS SUNDAY

THE PRESIDENT SHOW PREMIERES THIS SUNDAY MAY 7 AT 9:35PM ON COMEDY CENTRAL: SKY CHANNEL 011

Just like a certain leader in Washington D.C, The President Show breaks the rules, amuses and bewilders. And some might say (just like the real deal) you’ll be astonished at what he gets up to every week.

Created by Anthony Atamanuik, who hosts as Donald J. Trump, this weekly, topical series will dominate New Zealand from this coming Sunday, May 7 at 9.35pm only on Comedy Central, SKY Channel 011.

In the world of The President Show, Trump is bypassing the crooked media by hosting a late-night show direct from the Oval Office. No unfair questions from reporters, no awkward photo ops with German ladies and no bedtimes. Just a fun show where he can put his unique Trumpian spin on such late-night staples as desk segments and guest interviews. Vice President Mike Pence is featured as his sidekick, played by Peter Grosz.

“Laughing at the President is a proud American tradition and we hope not to disappoint anyone in that department,” Atamanuik said.

“But our political system is too broken for us to be content joking about one man, even though he is a disastrous silly little toddler boy. Mostly I’d just like to thank Comedy Central for giving us this platform to speak truth to power and if we’re lucky, end up in prison!” he added.

Anthony Atamanuik has received critical acclaim and a fervent new fan base with his pitch perfect Donald Trump impression, skewering the candidate with razor-sharp comedic activism across the United States.

He has also performed as Trump multiple times on The Howard Stern Show, ABC’s The View and CNN Newsroom.

He has also performed his solo show ‘Trump Dump’ at the UCB New York City theater, SXSW Festival, and Moontower Comedy Festival and was honored as one of Variety’s ‘10 Comings To Watch’ at the 2016 Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal.

Atamanuik has been performing and teaching improv at the Upright Citizen’s Brigade for 13 years. He had a recurring role on 30 Rock and recently appeared on Hulu’s Difficult People, Comedy Central’s Broad City. He was also a writer for Comedy Central’s 4/20 event series Time Traveling Bong.
