This is the sneak peek: the cold open. The full monologue premieres on BBN's YouTube channel; it plays right here the moment it is up.
The Weatherman Is Finally Indoors
Monologue · 7:13
After eleven years of hurricanes, blizzards and one container ship that would not move, BBN's Skip Waverly finally has a desk, a studio and a thermostat. His first monologue on Skip Tonight, with Hank Ledger (on loan from the news division) and Lenny Static & the Interference.
Tonight: Netflix cuts jobs and calls itself "strong and growing", the Narnia trailer that got "Stairway to Heaven", gas prices have a growth spurt, groceries drop by one grape, Apple's home hub only knows six faces, Tesla's Roadster reveal gets postponed for weather, Paul McCartney has a thing about his height, a Mars rover sets a driving record, a world-record plank, a 3,156-pound pumpkin, a runaway inflatable pumpkin, and Link finally gets a jump button.
Skip Tonight is a comedy show from BBN, the parody news network. Satire: the jokes are about real news; the people in them are cartoons.
