Since being inaugurated in January 2017, President Donald Trump has been highly critical of the media and what he refers to as "fake news." In this late-night series, a fictional version of the president decides to bypass the mainstream media and address Americans himself by hosting this weekly show directly from the Oval Office. "The President Show" has all of the segments of a traditional late-night talk show -- desk segments, field pieces and guest interviews -- but they come from President Trump's unique viewpoint. Vice President Mike Pence (portrayed by actor Peter Grosz) serves as the president's sidekick. Comedian Anthony Atamanuik, who created the show, stars as President Trump.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Anthony Atamnuik's eerily accurate impression of the commander-in-chief makes this scathing satire worth watching, although the cheeky series could use a little more coloring along the edges.

Most new late-night hosts take months to settle into their desk. Already, after two episodes, Atamanuik's shtick feels fully formed. Go to Full Review Steve Greene IndieWire 10/19/2017

An excellent Trump impression, but a little too much of it. Go to Full Review Scott D. Pierce Salt Lake Tribune 10/19/2017
My initial instinct here is to wonder how long it will be before this joke wears thin. And, if this was any sort of similar show, I wouldn't be confident that it will hold up for long. But this is Donald Trump we're talking about. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 05/09/2017

04/11/2018 The best show ever. Everyone should watch this show it's a dead-on impression of trump and the skits capture the absurdity and insanity of what's going on, and it somehow manages to do it sweetly. Genius! See more Doug B @DougleDawg 04/10/2018 This comedian definitely gets the closest to approximating and impersonating president trump albeit with some good old-fashioned showbiz hyperbole. See more 03/19/2018 The most intelligent and entertaining satire to come to the US in decades. A simultaneously truthful and comical rendition of the major players in the trump "Administration"., this show is one of the few positive things to come of these corrupt and unstable political times. So much talent in the writing and acting, it's as brilliant to watch as it is overwhelmingly witty. I wuld give it 10+ stars if I could! See more 02/06/2018 This show is hilarious and Anthony makes a perfect Trump. See more 01/25/2018 This show is brilliant comedy. Vice President Pence is priceless. See more 12/02/2017 Brilliant. True art. Anthony is superb. I mean, a real pro. The writing is sublime. Every single episode is rock solid. I sit and LITERALLY APPLAUD sometimes. Yes, it's THAT good. This show WILL be a cult classic. It already is. It's instantly brilliant. They capture the essence of the ridiculousness of what is going on in a brilliantly funny way - AND, have a way of making a point and sending a profound message. Wow. This is a RARE piece of art.
