The premise
Here’s the bit.
Anchor Kitty Singleton interviews Richard Sullivan, director of Housing and Urban Development, about budget cuts and public housing, and the two keep a perfectly straight face throughout. Behind the desk, Background Guy mugs for the camera, competes with a rival boy and then wrestles a woman for the spot, cycles through a frizzy wig, a keyboard guitar and white mime makeup, and leaps around the set. The newscast signs off calmly as a gorilla carries one of the scene-stealers up the wall like King Kong.
