The premise

Here’s the bit.

The host of the 112th annual Baby of the Year competition introduces three finalists to an audience with fierce loyalties. A pediatrician’s clinical assessments do little to settle the judges, while spectators repeatedly shout abuse at Bart Harley Jarvis.

One judge reveals a compromising encounter involving another judge and a finalist’s father. The host pushes ahead with a memorial montage of former contestants, now adults, complete with their causes of death. When an audience member tries to attack Jarvis, he abandons the competition.
