AI-animated satire from DOOOD What The?!. Reacts to a real news story; see transcript below.
Dooood! What the? Okay, check this out. You heard it here first folks. Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me! is doing a live show next year with a special guest. The headlining honoree? None other than the indie rock legend, Stephen Malkmus. Imagine that: a man who's made a career out of apathy and nonchalance getting to be the center of attention on national radio. It's like inviting the world’s most unexcitable person to give an inspirational speech about being energetic. Yeah, you heard right. That’s comedy for you. Duuude... What the. (sigh)
Stephen Malkmus is an American musician and songwriter best known for his work with the alternative rock band Pavement.
As a special guest, Stephen Malkmus will likely participate in various segments of the show, including trivia and comedic skits.
It's ironic because Malkmus is known for his apathetic demeanor and nonchalant attitude towards fame and recognition, contrasting sharply with the celebratory nature of being a guest on 'Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!'.
Stephen Malkmus is scheduled to be a special guest on 'Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!' sometime in the next year.
Listeners can anticipate satirical and ironic humor as the show pokes fun at the contrast between Malkmus's persona and his role as a guest on 'Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!'.
