HOLLYWOOD, CA — Despite lingering legal issues stemming from the accidental shooting death on the set of one of his films, TLC announced that actor Alec Baldwin would be hosting an exciting new game show called Is It Loaded?

The new show, set to debut this fall, will feature Baldwin brandishing a variety of projectile weapons in front of a studio audience while leading them to shout in unison the tagline “IS…IT…LOADED?”

“It’s a cutting-edge concept,” said the network’s programming director Mark Yarber. “The money is always real, but you never know about the bullets. And who better to host than Alec Baldwin? Put some potentially loaded weapons in his hands, and see what happens next! It was an easy sell for the network execs.”

The actor expressed eagerness to be a part of the new project. “It’s an exciting opportunity,” Baldwin said in a press release. “There’s just something about having a weapon in my hand near a crowd of people. The tension just keeps building as we get closer and closer to finding out… Is It Loaded?”

Members of the studio audience would reportedly be required to sign waivers, for obvious reasons. “Let’s be real,” Yarber said. “Anyone willing to walk into a studio where Alec Baldwin could potentially be wielding deadly weapons is taking their lives in their hands. But think of how exciting it will be!”

At publishing time, producers of the game show were reportedly having trouble finding people to fill the positions of armorer and cinematographer.

TEHRAN — Following the death of one of its prominent national leaders, the Iran government confirmed today that they are interviewing several new bearded genocidal psychopaths to replace its deceased president.

Despite the death of President Ebrahim Raisi, the Iranian regime assured its people and the world that it had already compiled an extensive list of ruthless, turban-wearing men with beards as candidates to serve in his place.

“No need to worry, we’ve got a full supply of extremist bearded mass-murderers in the lineup,” said a spokesman for the Iranian government. “Though the tragic helicopter crash robbed us of one of our finest turban-wearing bearded killers, we have a long line of robed Islamic extremists waiting to fill the position.”

Bearded, turban-wearing hopefuls lined up around the block at the House of Leadership in Tehran in hopes of being granted an interview for the job. “This is my dream job,” said one robed, bearded, dead-eyed man waiting in line. “I have spent many years studying and preparing for the opportunity to serve in the government and advance the cause of our people and Islam. Though the death of President Raisi was sad, I am ready to carry on the tradition of murdering my own people and calling for the death of America.”

The government spokesman said the first round of interviews would be completed within a week, followed by a rigorous, multi-step process to select the new president. “Whoever our next president is, you can be sure he’ll have a beard,” he said. “And he’ll be a psychopath who hates Jews.”
