The G Word with Adam Conover is a 2022 American documentary comedy show on Netflix created by Adam Conover.[1][2][3] The show discusses topics and their connection to the federal government of the United States,[4] with "the g word" referring to 'government.' The show is produced by Barack Obama, the 44th president of the United States, and his wife, Michelle Obama.[1][5] Each episode examines a different aspect of the government,[6] loosely based on the book The Fifth Risk by Michael Lewis.[7]
Writing for the show had started a week before COVID-19 lockdowns, before being moved online.[8]
