Kupa Rashit Election Special to Air on Kan 11 Ahead of Knesset Vote
Kan 11 announces a special election episode of the hit comedy series 'Kupa Rashit', airing on October 26, 2026, just before the 26th Knesset elections.
With less than two weeks to go before the elections, the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation announced today (Tuesday) that it will broadcast a special election episode of the hit television show "Kupa Rashit" (Checkout). The plot centers around Amnon Titinsky, who unexpectedly finds himself at the center of attention, becoming a surprisingly influential political figure.
Shuni's Political Ambitions
Simultaneously, Shuni launches a vigorous political campaign aimed at securing a spot on a party's list for the Knesset. During the special broadcast, viewers of Kan 11 will witness the iconic cashier identifying an opportunity and attempting to exploit social divisions for personal gain.
"The special election episode of 'Kupa Rashit' will air on Kan 11 and Kan BOX on Tuesday, October 26, 2026, at 21:15," the broadcaster stated.
The timing means the episode will be broadcast moments before the publication of the exit poll results by Kan News pollster Dudi Hassid. The 26th Knesset elections are scheduled for October 27, marking the first time elections will be held on their original statutory date since 1988.
A Cultural Phenomenon
