The Onion reportedly plans to license Infowars, with comedian Tim Heidecker as creative director. From a report in The New York Times on the future of Infowars:

The Onion plans to turn Infowars into a comedy site with satirical echoes of the fringe conspiracy theories that Mr. Jones is known for. Tim Heidecker, one of the comedians behind “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!” on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, has been hired to serve as “creative director of Infowars.” He said he initially planned to parody Mr. Jones’s “whole modus operandi.”

Mr. Heidecker has been working on his impression of Mr. Jones. But eventually, when that joke gets old, Mr. Heidecker hopes to turn Infowars into a destination for independent and experimental comedy, he said.

“I just thought it would be just a beautiful joke if we could take this pretty toxic, negative, destructive force of Infowars and rebrand it as this beautiful place for our creativity,” Mr. Heidecker said in an interview. During a recent trip to Philadelphia, he traveled to the Liberty Bell to film a video in character as the new creative director of Infowars.

From the April 23, 2026, edition of Infowars' The Alex Jones Show

ALEX JONES (HOST): The creative director that is being brought in from Adult Swim, they say to take over Infowars, which they haven't done yet, but they think the fix is in in this court hearing next Thursday, has put out all this pro-pedophilic, pro-murder of children, really hardcore satanism crap on Adult Swim a decade ago, and since then more.

...

I mean, they've been flipping the switches here, kind of like in 2001 where they're just turning off the HAL 9000. They're just going down the line, so I don't know if we'll even make it to next Thursday.
