Yesterday

AN hour of fake laughter, fake fawning, and glad-handing, always being sure to offend nobody.

It is like watching a version of South Park where Cartman is well-dressed, well-groomed young gentleman with impeccable manners and his friends just hang out and talk about how kewl the world is, and never get into any trouble. The "Fallon" version of South Park has Catman's slogan as "Watch me respect authior-i-tay."
