The show's format is a mock news program, intercut with comic sketches, parody commercials and humorous interviews of public figures.

Jones and Walsh had previously worked together on the sketch comedy series CODCO, on which Thomey sometimes appeared as a guest. Mercer had been a notable young writer and performer on his own, touring several successful one-man shows of comedic political commentary.
