One of my favorite shows in @Midnight on Comedy Central. It's a mock-gameshow where the contestants are comedians poking fun at viral headlines and videos of the day. The idea behind the game they were playing here is to come up with a sentence based on the emojis on the screen. It's always cool when you hear someone mention Casper, Wyoming on TV.
