Ryan Kopf's World Takeover aired on Channel 17 in Iowa City during its limited production run. The show combined parody and homage to programs like The Colbert Report and The Daily Show, offering a fun and educational experience for those involved in its creation.
The World Takeover series began as a college project, providing students with hands-on experience in producing a political and world news-focused TV show with elements of comedy and satire. Through this, we gained practical knowledge of TV equipment, scriptwriting, and broadcast standards. Some episodes aired locally in Iowa City.
Though World Takeover may not return to traditional TV, there’s potential for a comeback in a YouTube or online format, focusing on current events and providing unique insights into global news and issues.
