The premise

Here’s the bit.

Alex Trebel (Eugene Levy) hosts "High Q Night School," a trivia game show where the contestants are night school students who enthusiastically but hilariously struggle with even the simplest questions. The sketch showcases various contestant problems: Margaret Meehan always buzzes before the question is asked, Mike Roach buzzes and denies it, Peter Reek offers to fix Mike's buzzer, John McInnis gives long-winded answers, Gijs is Dutch and his wife is incapable of talking to the camera, and Oogie Sharpe answers questions that have already been answered. Throughout the chaos, host Alex Trebel's patience slowly deteriorates as he grows increasingly frustrated with the contestants' inability to follow basic game show rules or answer simple questions correctly. The sketch culminates with Alex losing his composure entirely, shouting "IT'S NOT COMPUTERS" and ordering buzzers to be disconnected. By the end, Alex even challenges Mike Roach to a fight.
