Armageddon Café
Setting: concert hall set up as a kitchen. Thousands of viewers in the audience. On one massive television monitor, a world-ending meteor is shown speeding toward Earth.
Announcer (Bill): Streaming live as the world ends, two world-class chefs duke it out to create the greatest last meal ever made! I’m Bill Jones and have celebrity chef Andrew Tarces with me!
Color commentator (Andrew): good evening Bill. Nice night for a catastrophe!
Bill: these two chefs really dislike each other. As they wait for the starting bell, they’re glaring steak knives to each other!
Andrew: That’s right, Bill. They go back a long way. Let’s watch as the appetizer round begins!
