Am reminded of the Monty Python sketch where John Cleese plays a BBC “newsreader”, Michael Queen. He starts his newscast and it goes on without him noticing that gunmen have broken in and kidnapped him, and his desk, and both are put into a truck which speeds along the “motorways”. At one point a woman is listening to a small transistor radio to his broadcast and looks up in surprise, as she sees the newsreader, at his desk, in the back of the truck (lorry,
as the Brits say) going by her.

Finally he gets to the “sport” results and weather and the newsreader, and his desk, are dumped off a pier into the water. “And that is the end of the news.”

That’s hilarious. I imagined the whole scene with Charlie (What ACORN scandal?) Gibson in place of Cleese.
