Unaired Sketch (aka Small Lone Ranger)

The premise
Here’s the bit.
An anchor interrupts regular programming for a special report, but the coverage keeps multiplying: one reporter claims to be on the Australian coast, another stands right behind him, a third is up a tree and a friend is hiding under a bed. A Dr. Seuss-style roll call of field reporters ends with a pint-sized Lone Ranger, and the report returns to the studio, where the anchor has curled up asleep in a basket. The released footage is an unfinished cut that still shows burned-in timecode.

Say it with us
Highly quotable.
One lone field reporter. Two lone field reporters. Red lone field reporter. Blue lone field reporter.
And one lone ranger, although a small one.
A little extra
