Four pilot episodes, each of which has been watched by the Guardian, were made of the rightwing chatshow. It was promoted by the Ziklag group, a secretive Christian nationalist organization, which aims to reshape culture to match its version of Christianity. In an email in 2022, Ziklag – which ProPublica reported spent $12m to elect Trump last year – urged its members to stump up money for the project, called the Talk Show With Eric Metaxas.
"For too long, the late-night talkers on network tv have filled the airwaves with progressive rants and outright mockery of anyone who espouses traditional American values," the Ziklag email read.
The Talk Show With Eric Metaxas, Ziklag wrote, will "change that forever". The email said the show needed $400,000 to $500,000 to film five pilot episodes, "which will be presented to digital distributors, networks and tv ownership groups"...
