The Comedy Hour
Set five minutes into the future when modern America is on the brink of collapse, Jimmy, a late-night talk show host is forced to produce his show through famine, fire, and plague. When the network assigns him a robot to be his co-host and help boost ratings, everyone in America loves the robot more than him.
