This week, Alex Jones shut off the lights on his right-wing conspiracy website InfoWars amid a prolonged legal battle between The Onion and the family of Sandy Hook victims over control of the media brand. Though a Texas job halted The Onion’s latest attempt to formally take over InfoWars’ website and assets, Jones was nonetheless forced to cease production of his show after a court-appointed receiver stopped paying bills at his studio.
But while the legal fight drags out in the background, The Onion has move ahead with launching its own satirical version of InfoWars hosted by comedian Tim Heidecker (who also serves as its new creative director). Delivering an uncanny impersonation of Jones (gravel voice, red skin, and all), Heidecker used Friday’s debut episode to respond directly to several of the allegations that the now-former InfoWars host made against him.
“I am wearing his skin. I’ve been wearing his skin now for about two weeks and it is, uh, it is tough skin. It is Texas skin,” Heidecker acknowledged. “Uh, it is leathery, uh, and Old Spice is the main fragrance, as well as various alcoholic beverages.”

Heidecker also revealed that created “an alliance between the Lord God and Satan himself,” and performed an on-air ritual in which he drank a sip of “real human blood” now available through the InfoWars store. “This is human blood curated from the forsaken and the sinners,” he explained. “This is pure premium blood tested—uh, FDA unapproved. And this is just human blood. As part of my satanic ritual, my—I am a servant to Satan.”
The debut episode also featured phone calls from Donald Trump and someone who sound conspicuously like Alex Jones himself.
