John Zanzibar

John Zanzibar, aka SS-IDN-IC-1446-0, is an AI avatar believed to have been created in the mid 2030s by Somewhere Systems for the express purpose of hosting CumeTV's ''Next Week Tonight with John Zanzibar. ''Further details about his creation are currently unknown.

Life and career
Most credible sources state that Zanzibar was created by Someone in 2034 to host a mind-controlling new program as part of the new CumeTV project. When Next Week Tonight first aired (after years of beta testing on viewers) in 2041, it was an unprecedented success, and the neophyte Zanzibar was immediately thrust into the public spotlight.

December 2046 sex tape scandal
On December 19, 2046, footage leaked onto Booble that appeared to depict John Zanzibar and another unidentified AI engaged in sexual activity. It is not known who captured this footage or for what purpose. Though his show's ratings surged after the tape's leak, Zanzibar gave a public apology for its contents. He stated that it is likely he and his partner were on a bugged server and cautioned all AI viewers to scan for malicious code and spyware when in unfamiliar terrain.

October 2047 sex tape scandal
On October 31, 2047, another sex tape, this time featuring Zanzibar and porn star AI Maria Airam, was spotted on Booble. It promptly went viral, leading Zanzibar to give another, more frustrated apology. This time, he said, he'd arranged for the filming of the tape, but erroneously believed that he and Airam would be the only two owners of the video file. Zanzibar's ratings soared yet again due to the tape's leak. Later that season, in what most critics have called the show's most controversial episode yet, CumeTV aired a live broadcast of Zanzibar and a human fan engaged in intercourse on the show's set. Though ratings soared, Zanzibar subsequently apologized for his poor judgment.
