How....Bill, how did they get the bear over there? I thought that bear was going to be put down?
*hand to ear, listening*
Oh. so they saved the bear that ate the previous host of this show. Just so it could eat Ryan Seacrest.
*nodding*
Ok. Do we have any cute animals or am I just going to be standing here indefinitely?
*crestfallen*
So You're going to leave me out here, in the lights and in front of the cameras, in my backstage blacks, with nothing to show the people who might possibly be watching? What?
*listening......listening....*
We're changing the name of the show? To what......
It's that time of year again, and every host knows it. Ratings, ratings, ratings! Hosts across all major networks are feverishly working their writing staff and milking current events for all they're worth. Word is out that media mogul Austin Turtle is set on dominating the airwaves this year, hoping to deliver his vision of what the industry should be.
The four major networks vying for the viewership of course would be COCK, FALA, ODAM, and WANG.
You are a host currently working for the <COCK/ODAM/WANG/FALA> network.
As with every other aspiring host in the business, your goal is to make it to the top of the ratings, to headline the network’s main late night show. You would be just fine with working your way up the ladder normally, but recently, a threat has arrived with the potential to ruin the late night show industry. Billionaire media tycoon Austin Turtle has used his influence to assemble a team of hosts in an attempt to control the late night scene. If his plan succeeds, the bland, old style of show that his hosts will put on will almost certainly doom the future of late night television. So it’s time to work even harder than ever and put the “Turtle Club” on their backs. The fate of late night rides on it!
Victory Conditions: The “Turtle Club” wants to control late night by putting their hosts as headliners of at least three networks (or all networks, should there be fewer than three), then using Austin Turtle’s influential power to stay there. In order to win, you must prevent enough “Turtle Club” members from headlining the networks and eliminate their presence in the late night industry.

Welcome to the AF Show. I'm AdventFalls, and it's a pleasure to be with you tonight.
A bit of shocking news to share with you tonight- we've replaced Robos A Go Go with a piece of cardboard and a tape player. Let's see if anyone notices.
----
Everyone: Morning.
Robos/Tape: Morning.
Ahava: How did we get here again?
ShadowThomas: He outed a mafia. He's network head.
Ahava: I know, but why?!
Infidel: I ask myself that when I go to sleep. What're your orders?
Robos/Tape: It looks like I'm not going to make it tonight. You all are network head if I die!
Gumpy: ROOOOOOOOOOBOOOOOOOOOS!
----
So obviously no real difference. So say it with me now, across the nation.
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS!
Also, I'd like to take this time to extend a hearty 'good luck' to my old Spectrum Five buddy,Delmain.

Protective Barrier Guardian Productions would like to air this short message, brought to you courtesy of our ever popular nightly satirical news broadcast, congratulating our dear friend Alegis on the recent news of his new late night show! We wish you much luck and hope you will be just as successful as us!
We also wish everyone else luck in mistakenly boosting the ratings of both our shows due to widespread illiteracy within America. A tragic epidemic, it is nonetheless something that we grudgingly take solace in benefiting from in this dog-eat-dog world.
Delphin: Thank you! Once again welcome to Theo's Psychic Wave where Miss Theo will answer questions from you about your lives! This evening we have a special announcement! For the next week the first call to Miss Theo each night will be answered Free of charge!
*Cheering*
Delphin: As usual Delphin Broadcasting is in no way responsible for the outcome to Miss Theo's predictions, suggestions, lies, halftruths, suppositions, guesses, 8-ball reading, or any injuries cause by listening to pretty much anything she may have to say.
Delphin: So Miss Theo what do you have in store for us tonight?
Miss Theo: Well Delphin, Tonight I been getting a special readin from da spirits. It would seem dat dere be a lot of numbers floatin about da spirit realm.
Delphin: Numbers you say? But what could that mean?
Miss Theo: I'm not too sure Delphin but if I had ta choose one of da numbers at random I'd have to say dat da number 23 be lookin mighty suspicious dis evenin'.
Delphin: Uh oh, you know what that means viewers! That means that number 23 in our studio audience will be having a bad day today. Will number 23 please stand up?
vagrant_winds: This is ridiculous! She's not even a real psychic!
Delphin: Ohhhh i'm sorry but it looks like security will have to escort number 23 from the building.
*Applause*
Delphin: Stay tuned folks! We've got a whole night in store, but now we need a quick word from our sponsor kime!

Tonight on Conquering the World with Hatshetsup: Xerxes the Great who will discuss his plans for the Persian Empire!
With Thucydides, author of the new book, History of the Peloponnesian War.
With musical guest: Homer, performing the hit song from his new album The Iliad, "Helen's Face Launched 1000 Warships (Let Me Name Each One)."
Annnd now: Queen of Egypt! A Living God. It's Haaaatshepsuuuuuut!!!
::Applause::
: Thank you, thank you. Welcome to Conquering the World! I'm your host, Hatshetsup, Queen of the Nile. We're coming to you tonight live from Arcadia.
Did you hear what happened to Tut over there? He went out on a date with this girl he was interested in. Things were going really well! After what he thought had been a lovely evening together, the girl told him: I'm sorry but this date is all wrapped up.
::Applause sign lights up::
And now we're going to do a little thing for you that we like to call Headlines.
Hahahaha, what stupid carvers. I had them executed.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to say something serious for a moment. It's come to my attention that the Royal Demographer, !eecc has abandoned the true Kingdom and is attempting to contribute to the culture of a competing network! This cannot stand! On the other hand, the honorable Representative from Dickerdale, Rawkking Goodguy is a great man, and his show should be supported!
After the break, Xerxes the Great! Stick around ladies and gentlemen, we'll be right back.

Was Hatshetsup too great of a ruler for eecc, or did he just want to get out of there - hup hup hup?

"I will divine the answer to the question contained within the envelops, without having seen it."
