Striscia la notizia (Italian: [ˈstriʃʃa la noˈtittsja], "the news slithers") is an Italian satirical television program on the Mediaset-controlled Canale 5. Launched in 1988, it is meant to be a parody of the daily news, which airs right before the program, but Striscia also satirizes government corruption and exposes scams with the help of local reporters who are also comedians. The program is created by Antonio Ricci and is hosted by two major comedians.^[1]

The name of the show literally translates in English as "The News Slither".^[2][3]
