16 AUGUST 2025

LOS ANGELES, CA—After the success of its Surrounded episode featuring 20 far-right conservatives versus the progressive journalist, Jubilee has announced it will now pit Mehdi Hasan against 40 fascists in a fistfight to the death. “Given the tremendous success of having Mehdi Hasan on Surrounded, standing at 10 million views on YouTube, the next natural step is of course to get the progressive to square up against 40 full-blown fascists in a fistfight where only one will survive,” said Jubilee Media CEO Jason Lee while salivating at the prospect of all the blood that would be spilled in the name of YouTube views. “This is going to be the political event of the year, it’s going to be huge! Not just that, but we already have a sponsor lined up in the form of Netflix, they’re just as excited to see Medhi Hasan brawl with 40 fascists who want to keep the gene pool pure of dirty Middle Eastern scum like him, they’re projecting the video will be an even bigger success than the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson boxing match, with actual punches being thrown!” Jubilee confirmed that the fight would feature the self-described fascists being able to vote out ones from the fight that don’t bludgeon Mr. Hasan into a bloody mass of pulp enough, in a similar fashion to its Surrounded series. At press time, reports suggested Jubilee was working on ways to reanimate controversial political figures like Adolf Hitler or Benito Mussolini to debate 20 liberal college students on future episodes of Surrounded.
