[It's some kind of green furry alien with a microphone! They're out on the street, where you can see aliens of every shape and size, along with the odd human, milling about. The announcer alien approaches a group of the latter, three human men who are walking close together.]

[You seem to be watching some kind of alien comedy talk show? Congratulations, you now pick up all the alien cable channels*. It seems as though you could probably pick up other types of signal as well, but nothing else is being broadcast to you at the moment.]
* No, you cannot watch your own damn selves on television right now.
