SAMPLE -- American Idle
The emcees can be sitting on stools or standing, but they must act as if looking into a camera.
Mike -- We’d like to welcome you to this week’s edition of American Idle!
(If you have sound tracks with audience applause, laughter, crowd reactions this would be a great sketch to include them!)
Eric -- American Idle. Where the laziest slobs and dirtiest dudes do their best to do nothing at all!
Mike -- We’ve searched from the East Coast to the West Coast to bring riches and rewards to the one person who can claim to be the most Idle person in America!
Eric -- That’s right, Mike, we are proud to be here in beautiful downtown Hoboken, New Jersey,
Mike -- This is quite the set, isn’t Eric.
Eric -- Uh, Mike, …
Mike -- You can almost smell the three day old sauerkraut and bratwurst.
Eric -- Uh, Mike, …
Mike -- I am always amazed that our scene designers can make these places seem so realistic.
Eric -- Uh, Mike, …
Mike -- I’m sure glad no one actually lives in filth like this. Remind me to get a tetanus shot after the show (laughs).
Eric whispers into Mike’s ear. Mike’s face changes from joy to guilt.
Mike -- Isn’t it wonderful that our own executive producer, Sven Feinsteinavich, has allowed us to film this final episode of American Idle in his very own home! Let’s give him a warm round of applause shall we?
Eric and Mike are seen in a “why didn’t you tell me’ argument for a moment. Then face front quickly and smile.
Eric -- We have gone through over 150 of the greatest Idlers to find the three most worthless, nonproductive individuals in this great country of ours.
