The premise

Here’s the bit.

Cheerfully introducing a segment about wigs and kids, Will Sasso sits backstage in a wig shop with a string of children, pressing each one on whether they would pick wigs over candy, Barbie dolls or their favorite boy bands. Between the children's shy answers he can't resist trying wigs on himself, and each new one tips him into a different bit: a burger-menu monologue, a shouted paternity argument, a performer introducing himself. The kids stay politely bewildered, he signs off by name, and the whole group crowds into a wigged-out chorus insisting that kids love wigs.
