infoMania is the name of an American half-hour weekly satirical news show that airs on Current TV. Its original executive producer was Madeleine Smithberg, who co-created The Daily Show

Similar in style to The Soup and The Daily Show, infoMania puts a comedic spin on various pieces of popular media in the United States including outlandish news stories covered by the corporate media, video games, popular viral videos, and the world of movies and music. The show is hosted by Conor Knighton, along with co-hosts Brett Erlich, Ben Hoffman, Sarah Haskins, Sergio Cilli, and Bryan Safi, and is executive produced by Jeff Plunkett and Conor Knighton.

Prior to being produced in a full half-hour format, the show aired in short 3-5 minute installments, usually at the top of the hour. Prior to July 2007, the show rotated between names of Google Current and Current Buzz and was a part of Current TV's original programming when the network went on air in August 2005.

The show airs every Thursday at 10PM ET/ 7PM PT on Current TV, and all of the episodes can be viewed online at Current.com.

infoMania is produced in Hollywood, California.
