He is the host of the weekly television culture show ā€œA Bit High,ā€ and previously hosted the televsion show ā€œYanshufim,ā€ for which he won the award for ā€œBest TV Showā€ in 2011 and 2012. From 2003-2005, Nitzani wrote and hosted three seasons of ā€œAhorei HaChadashot,ā€ or ā€œBehind the News,ā€ which was nominated for ā€œBest Entertainment Show of the Year.ā€ In the past, Nitzani has also joined the judges on ā€œKohav Nolad,ā€ the Israeli version of American idol. He is the writer of a popular satirical column, ā€œRaising an Eyebrow,ā€ in the daily Hebrew-language newspaper, Israel Hayom, and which led to the publication of a successful book by the same name.
