The setup

The Bhangra Muffins boast about their tickets to see Oprah Winfrey, without noticing what kind of show they are actually sitting in.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

Seated in a packed auditorium, two teenagers brag that one of them scored tickets to see Oprah Winfrey and debate why her show has made her so rich. Their theory that airing your problems makes everyone feel better quickly collapses into a petty squabble, before they rank rival talk-show hosts and picture how a British Asian version would be run by a disapproving auntie. When the curtain finally rises, the star on stage is not who they were expecting.

Highly quotable.

When I grow up, right, I want to be like Oprah.

A problem aired is a problem shared.

Man, are you sure these are Oprah tickets?
