Baby of the Year
The setup
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.
