This program is made possible by generous support from The Blanche and Irving Laurie Foundation. Writers and Editors-in-Chief from The Onion (Chad Nackers, Robert Siegel, Carol Kolb, Will Tracy, Seth Reiss) gather with moderator Brian Stelter at Paleyfest NY 2023 to celebrate the satirical news source whose unique brand of parody has influenced television, digital and print media. Topics include: The Onion's origin; how the news and comedy landscape of the '90s initially shaped the content; the balancing of satire and sentience when addressing tragic news events; elements that have made The Onion stand the test of time; the panelists' favorite fabricated stories that were mistaken for reality; why there has never been a legitimate "rival" for The Onion; the headline of which each panelist is most proud; and predictions for The Onion's future in 10 years.
