Yeah it's not an original. I like the deadpan atmosphere of it though. Like these guys' minds are continually being blown by man walking on the loving goddamned moon, but they're pro enough to stay calm on the outside.

The news about celebrities tends to repeat itself fairly often: X is dumb, X and Y had a break-up/relationship start/baby/divorce, X said something racist, etc. There isn't much material to mine there that you can't do from playing Madlibs with names every time a story comes up, so I wonder if this meltdown leading into a shutdown was planned from the start. The really juicy stuff can still be on The Onion with or without the celebrity worship voice.
