Parazit: The Revolutionary Satirical Show
In 2009, Saman Arbabi introduced the world to his groundbreaking show, Parazit. This weekly half-hour Persian language satirical program garnered immense popularity and earned comparisons to “The Daily Show.” With an estimated viewership of 35 million, Parazit became a cultural phenomenon. Arbabi’s progressive and edgy style influenced a new wave of comedy, leading to the coining of the term “Paraziti” to describe fans who emulated his fashion sense. However, the show’s success also attracted backlash from state-run media, resulting in character assassinations and attempts to counter its impact.
