"Hey, so no one's watching Meet the Press anymore. How should we fix this?"

"How about we switch out the bland boring white guy on there with an even blander, more boring white guy?"

"How's that going to work?"

"Here me out: this one has a beard."

"I like it."

"And you know that one insufferable, incompetent guy we hired because of his dad? We'll make him a regular!"

"Another good idea. Though I really hope--"

"And we'll keep having John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and other Republican white dudes on every single week without fail!"

"Brilliant! You'll go far in this company, Execuderpie. Do lunch?"

"Sorry, Execuherpie, I've got an 11:00 appointment swatting at the flying elves. Between that and my 1:00 removal of all my higher brain functions, I'm swamped."
