The audience is going to ruin this show.
ReplySeth, may I introduce you to a concept called “#TheFile”. It was created by a couple of Hall of Fame radio DJ’s.
The File is something like this: whoever written, or said a really bad joke, Or in this case, written a really bad joke. That joke is placed in the file and they are branded for life “The World’s Worst Joke Teller”, or in this case “The World’s Worst Joke Writer”. The only way they can redeem themselves, kind of like your surprise inspection, is to confront them with that same bad joke. Like if your parents shamed the dog for peeing in the house. If the writer admits that was a bad joke, they are redeemed and they are saved. However, if they still believe that bad joke was still good, even though it was rancid beyond belief, they will still carry on that shame for the rest of their lives.
ReplyWhen the audience comes back, I hope Seth keeps the casual look. Makes the show seem more fun!

ReplyYou can name this segment “White people and one asian write terrible jokes”
ReplyI actually had to follow Scollins on Twitter. I just don’t want to miss any of his “jokes?”
ReplyIt’s interesting to see how hard joke writers work. Failed jokes reveal how hard it is to write a really good one, especially based on random news events.
ReplyThis whole thing was contrived and certainly not an unannounced surprise by any means. But it was bafflingly funny in certain spots.
ReplyCollections, your time is up!
ReplyIf the writers fail inspection, will Seth order them to drop and give him twenty?
ReplyHil,-friggin-larious! This one’s definitely a keeper.
