     This Information Statement and the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of
Stockholders are being furnished to the stockholders of Zap.Com Corporation
("Zap.Com" or the "Company") by the Board of Directors in connection with the
Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on May 21, 2002, at 11:00 a.m., EST,
at the Adam's Mark Buffalo, 120 Church St., Buffalo, New York, 14202, and at any
adjournments thereof (the "Annual Meeting").

     It is contemplated that this Information Statement will first be mailed to
Zap.Com stockholders on or about May 12, 2002. WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY
AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND A PROXY.

     The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 100 Meridian
Centre, Suite 350, Rochester, New York 14618; telephone (585) 242-2400. All
references herein to a fiscal year are to the 12 month period ended on December
31st of the indicated calendar year.

MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING

     At the Annual Meeting, including any adjournment(s) thereof, the
stockholders of Zap.Com will be asked to consider and vote upon the election of
a director, the ratification of appointment of the Company's independent public
accountant and to transact such other business as may properly come before the
Annual Meeting or any adjournments thereof. The proposals are described in more
detail in this Information Statement. The Board knows of no other matters that
are likely to be brought before the Annual Meeting.

RECORD DATE; OUTSTANDING SHARES

     The Board of Directors of the Company has fixed the close of business on
March 28, 2002 (the "Record Date") as the date for the determination of
stockholders who are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting and at any
adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof. As of the Record Date, the Company's
issued and outstanding capital stock consisted of 50,004,474 shares of common
stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), which was held by
approximately 1,493 holders of record. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to
one vote in the election of directors and on each matter submitted for
stockholder approval. The Common Stock is the Company's only outstanding class
of stock as of the date of this Information Statement. As of the date of this
Information Statement, Zapata Corporation ("Zapata") holds 48,972,258 shares of
Zap.Com common stock, or approximately 98% of Zap.Com's outstanding Common
Stock. Accordingly, Zapata will be able to determine the outcome of the election
of director and each proposal to be presented at the Annual Meeting. Zapata has
informed Zap.Com that it intends to vote in accordance with the Board's
recommendations on all proposals to be presented at the Annual Meeting.

QUORUM; ABSTENTIONS AND NON-VOTES; VOTE REQUIRED

     The presence at the meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a
majority of the Company's outstanding shares of voting stock is necessary to
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting.
Abstentions and broker non-votes (which occur if a broker or other nominee does
not have discretionary authority and has not received voting instructions from
the beneficial owner with respect to the particular item) are counted for
purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction
of business. If there are not sufficient shares represented in person or by
proxy at the meeting to constitute a quorum, the meeting may be adjourned or
postponed in order to permit further solicitations of proxies by the Company.

     With respect to the election of directors, the nominee receiving the
highest number of affirmative votes will be elected to the Board of Directors.
The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present and
represented at the Annual Meeting will be necessary to ratify the Board's
appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP as the Company's independent public
accountants. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome
of the election of directors or the approval of the independent public
accountants.

            THE DATE OF THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT IS APRIL 5, 2002


                                   PROPOSAL 1

                              ELECTION OF DIRECTOR

     Pursuant to the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation (the "Restated
Articles") and By-Laws, the size of the Board is currently set at one director.
Avram Glazer is the sole director.

     Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast for director
nominees at the Annual Meeting.

     Mr. Glazer has nominated himself to serve for a one year term or until his
successor is duly qualified or elected. Mr. Glazer, age 41, has served as the
sole director and President and Chief Executive Officer of Zap.Com since its
formation in April 1998. Mr. Glazer also serves as Chairman of the Board,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Zapata Corporation (NYSE: ZAP) which as
of the date of this Information Statement holds of record and beneficially
approximately 98% of the Company's outstanding common stock. Mr. Glazer has held
these positions since 1995. For more than five years prior to becoming Zapata's
President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Glazer was employed by, and worked on
behalf of, Malcolm I. Glazer and a number of entities owned and controlled by
Malcolm I. Glazer. Mr. Glazer also serves as a director of Zapata and is
Chairman of the Board and a director of Omega Protein Corporation (NYSE: OME) (a
marine protein company).

    THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF THE NOMINEE AS DIRECTOR.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD

     During 2001, the Board of Directors met or acted by written consent once.

     Zap.Com's Board of Directors does not presently maintain any committees
since the Board only consists of one director. Upon expansion of the size of the
Board to three or more directors, the By-Laws require that two standing
committees of the Board of Directors be activated: the audit committee and the
compensation committee, each comprised of two or more directors. The members of
these committees will be appointed following the expansion of the Board to three
or more directors.

     The primary purpose of the audit committee will be to (1) select the firm
of independent accountants that will audit Zap.Com's financial statements, (2)
discuss the scope and the results of the audit with the accountants and (3)
review Zap.Com's financial accounting and reporting principles. The audit
committee will also examine and discuss the adequacy of Zap.Com's financial
controls with the independent accountants and with management.

     The functions of the compensation committee will be to review, approve and
recommend to the Board of Directors the terms and conditions of incentive bonus
plans applicable to corporate officers and key management personnel, to review
and approve the annual salary of the chief executive officer, and to administer
Zap.Com's 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

     Each director who is not an employee of Zap.Com will be compensated for
serving as a director at a set dollar amount to be determined by the Board. In
addition, each new non-employee director will, upon joining the Board, be
granted options under the Zap.Com 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan to purchase
shares of Zap.Com Common Stock at the fair market value for the shares. The
Board will determine the number and terms of the options to be granted to the
new director. There are no family relationships, or other arrangements or
understandings between or among any of the directors, executive officers or
other persons under which that person was selected to serve as a director or
officer.

                                        2

                             EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

     Zap.Com presently has no employment agreements with its officers or other
key employees. Until April 30, 2000, a portion of the cost of the compensation
of Zap.Com's executives who are also employed by Zapata was allocated to Zap.Com
under a services agreement between Zapata and Zap.Com. Zap.Com reimbursed Zapata
for those costs. These costs were based upon an estimate of the amount of time
devoted by those employees to the operation and affairs of each corporation. As
of May 1, 2000, and again on May 1, 2001, Zapata waived its rights to be
reimbursed for these expenses for a period of one year.

     The following table sets forth information regarding compensation with
respect to 2001, 2000 and 1999, for services in all capacities rendered to the
Company and its subsidiaries by the Company's President and Chief Executive
Officer ("Named Officers"). None of the Company's other executive officers
received annual compensation in excess of $100,000 during Fiscal 2001, 2000 and
1999.

(1) Based on the closing price on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board for Zap.Com's
    Common Stock on December 31, 2001, none of the named officers' options were
    "in-the-money" as of that date.

1999 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

     The 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan was approved by Zap.Com's Board and
Zapata as Zap.Com's sole stockholder in April 1999, and amended in October 1999.
Pursuant to the plan, awards may be made to existing and future officers, other
employees, consultants and directors of Zap.Com from time to time. The 1999
Incentive Plan is intended to promote the long-term financial interests and
growth of Zap.Com by providing employees, officers, directors and consultants of
Zap.Com with appropriate incentives and rewards to enter into and continue in
the employ of, or their relationship with, Zap.Com and to acquire a proprietary
interest in the long-term success of Zap.Com; and to reward the performance of
individual officers, other employees, consultants and directors in fulfilling
their responsibilities for long-range achievements.

     Zap.Com's Board, or upon formation, the compensation committee (both of
which are referred to below as the "committee"), makes awards under the 1999
Incentive Plan from among those eligible persons who hold positions of
responsibility and whose performance, in the judgment of the committee, has a
significant effect on Zap.Com's success.

     Under the 1999 Incentive Plan, 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock are
available for awards. The 1999 Incentive Plan provides for the grant of any or
all of the following types of awards: stock options, stock appreciation rights,
stock awards, cash awards, or other rights or interests. Stock options may be
incentive stock options that comply with Section 422 of the Code. Future
allocation of awards under the 1999 Incentive Plan is not currently determinable
as the allocation is dependent upon future decisions to be made by the committee
in its sole discretion, and the applicable provisions of the 1999 Incentive
Plan.

     The exercise price of any stock option may, at the discretion of the
committee, be paid in cash or by surrendering shares or another award under the
1999 Incentive Plan, valued at fair market value on the date of exercise or any
combination of cash or stock.

     Stock appreciation rights are rights to receive, without payment to
Zap.Com, cash or shares of Zap.Com Common Stock with a value determined by
reference to the difference between the exercise or strike price of the stock
appreciation rights and the fair market value or other specified valuation of
the shares at the time of exercise. Stock appreciation rights may be granted in
tandem with stock options or separately.

                                        4


     Stock awards may consist of shares of Zap.Com Common Stock or be
denominated in units of shares of Common Stock. A stock award may provide for
voting rights and dividend equivalent rights.

     The committee may specify conditions for awards, including vesting service
and performance conditions. Vesting conditions may include, without limitation,
provision for acceleration in the case of a change-in-control of Zap.Com,
vesting conditions and performance conditions, including, without limitation,
performance conditions based on achievement of specific business objectives,
increases in specified indices and attaining specified growth measures or rates.

     An award may provide for the granting or issuance of additional,
replacement or alternative awards upon the occurrence of specified events,
including the exercise of the original award.

     An award may provide for a tax gross-up payment to a participant if a
change in control of Zap.Com results in the participant owing an excise tax or
other tax above the rate ordinarily applicable, due to the parachute tax
provisions of Section 280G of the Code or otherwise. The gross-up payment would
be in an amount so that the net amount received by the participant, after paying
the increased tax and any additional taxes on the additional amount, would be

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

     Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")
requires the Company's directors and executive officers, and persons who own
more than 10% of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") initial reports
of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Common Stock and other
equity securities of the Company.

     Directors, officers and greater than 10% stockholders are required by the
Commission's regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a)
forms they file. Based solely on a review of Forms 3 and 4 and amendments
thereto furnished to the Company during its most recent fiscal year, and Forms 5
and amendments thereto furnished to the Company with respect to its most recent
fiscal year, and certain written representations, no persons who were either a
director, officer, or beneficial owner of more than 10% of the Company's Common
Stock failed to file on a timely basis reports required by Section 16(a) of the
Exchange Act during the recent fiscal year.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

     The Board of Directors of Zap.Com has no compensation committee, or other
board committee performing equivalent functions. The Board of Directors made all
decisions concerning compensation of Zap.Com executives during the last fiscal
year, except with respect to Avram Glazer and Leonard DiSalvo. The Board of
Directors of Zap.Com is comprised only of Avram Glazer, Zap.Com's President and
Chief Executive Officer. The compensation of Mr. Glazer and Mr. DiSalvo for the
last fiscal year was determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors of Zapata Corporation.

              BOARD OF DIRECTORS REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

     No compensation was paid by the Company to its Named Officer in Fiscal
2001. In prior years, the Board has followed executive compensation policies
designed to provide incentives to its executives to focus on both Zap.Com's
current and long-term goals, with an overriding emphasis on the ultimate
objective of enhancing stockholder value. The Company's executive compensation
program has been comprised of cash and equity-based incentives, which recognize
individual achievement and encourage executive loyalty and initiative. The Board
considers equity ownership to be an important factor in providing executives
with a closer orientation to the Company and its stockholders. Accordingly, the
Board has granted options to purchase Common Stock pursuant to Zap.Com's 1999
Long-Term Incentive Plan.

     Base salaries for our executives have been established on a case-by-case
basis by the Board, based upon the executive's level of responsibility, prior
experience, breadth of knowledge, and salary requirements. The

                                        5


Board granted stock options upon hiring or based upon subjective considerations
as to an executive's contribution or potential contribution to the Company.
Other benefits offered to executives have been generally the same as those
offered to Zap.Com's other employees.

                                          Respectfully submitted,

                                          AVRAM A. GLAZER,
                                          Director

                      STOCKHOLDER RETURN PERFORMANCE GRAPH

     The Commission requires a comparison of the cumulative total return of the
Company's Common Stock with that of (1) a broad equity market index and (2) a
published industry or line-of-business index, or index of peer companies with
similar market capitalization, over a five year period or such shorter that the
Company has been registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 ("Exchange Act"). The Company registered pursuant to Section 12 on November
12, 1999 and its common stock has traded on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board since
November 30, 1999. The Company has selected to use the Russell 2000 Index as its
broad market index. For the second required comparison the Company has selected
the JP Morgan Hambrecht & Quist Internet 100 Index.

     The stock price performance on the following graph does not necessarily
indicate of future performance. The stock performance graph shall not be deemed
incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference
