A1 — The Show
Help, I’m At The Elmo!
“Help, I’m At The Elmo” is a cross between The Office, Entertainment Tonight and The Trump Cabinet. The entire show is a rickety boat of chaos and backstabbing kept afloat on a sea of bald-faced lies and jaw-dropping incompetence. And it all takes place under the legendary roof of one of the most famous rock clubs in the world!

The biggest stars on Earth. Only it’s not really them.
Reality can be such a severely limiting construct and the show’s creators were just way too smart to fall into that trap. “I’m At The Elmo: books the biggest and brightest stars on Earth, only it’s not really them. They have mind-blowing exclusive, blockbuster news stories that never happened. They win huge prestigious awards honouring their work, that don’t exist. None of this would be remotely possible if they were lashed to the outdated mast of honesty and integrity.
Tonight’s lineup · Our three main stars
The “Talent” (sic)
01
Marcie
Host · Gold-Digger · Winner, Award That Doesn’t Exist
A petty, self-centred gold-digger and quite possibly the world’s worst interviewer.
★ Winner: Best Interviewer, an award that does not exist
02
Ben
Co-Host · Impeccably Groomed · Nominee, Best Hair (Self-Awarded)
Homeless because he spends every penny he makes on expensive suits and personal grooming products… oh, and he’s also not a very good interviewer.
★ Also somehow the guests’ Uber driver. No car.
03
Tiffany
The Intern · Over It · Employee of the Never
Young, smart, disgruntled and bitter, and handed all the jobs nobody else wants to do. A fantastic interviewer, if she weren’t doing everyone’s laundry.
★ Do not drink the coffee she brings you
Special guest · Exclusive · Blockbuster · Never happened
Elvis Costello drops by!
The legend sits down with our hosts for a hard-hitting chat about carrots, next to a man in a carrot suit. It gets heated.

Marcie is a petty, self-centred gold-digger and quite possibly the world’s worst interviewer. Ben is homeless because he spends every penny he makes on expensive suits and personal grooming products… oh, and he’s also not a very good interviewer. Tiffany, the intern, is young, smart, disgruntled, bitter and foul-mouthed and is handed all the crap jobs nobody else wants to do. She would be a fantastic interviewer, if she wasn’t doing their laundry, cleaning their dressing rooms and pissing in the coffee she brings them every morning.
