The show tested 50 parliamentarians by applying what appeared to be make-up to their faces, telling them they were to appear in a debate on the country's budget, the ANSA news agency reported in a story soon taken up by other media.
The make-up actually consisted of chemicals that could detect the presence of drugs in sweat on the participants' skin. It detected ******* in four of the politicians and cannabis in 12. Both the drugs are banned in Italy.
The Hyena show - a well-known satirical series on a channel run by right-wing former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi - has a reputation for exposing the decadence of the political classes.
A member of the Green party who favours decriminalising drug use, Paolo Cento, reacted to the news by slamming what he called the "hypocrisy" of the political class.
The drug test is to be broadcast tomorrow. Director Matteo Viviani said the identities of those who had tested positive would not be revealed.
