Trapp read that script filled with unusual and hard to pronounce words both flawlessly and so incredibly quickly. I hope he enjoys his stay in modern day France.

Um, Actually, he's gotten a lot of practice saying obtuse and lexicologically complex verbiage for some reason.

Trapp wrote a sketch with Caldwell called "31 Words That Sound Like Slurs But Aren't". Dude knows a lot of archaic English that sounds _almost_ like a slur.

[@alecsarcade555]

This is one of my favorite Breaking News episodes. Carolyn was amazing with her improv, and Brennan's genuine reactions sell everything so well because he is so wholesome and relatable. Trapp is IN HIS ELEMENT as Gilcrest Savoy, and it's one of his best improv performances. Alfred giving intentionally bad science tips could honestly be a theme for its own episode, and I would love to see Alfred more.

[@amymiles5346]

Trapp understood the assignment before he was told the assignment. Also, I'm not usually into the excessive [improvise] bits but they did such a good job with them that I loved it.

[@daniellamayb934]

Me too.. but i think this group are so good at Improv in general that it really landed well! We all knew Brennan can think on his feet but Trapp blew me away, and the others really just kept up so well. I think this is one of my favourites!

[@howaboutno4002]

Some of the improvs are the best ones. If they get some genuinely funny cast members on, it's better than the scripted ones because nobody expects it 😂

[@LukeLavablade]

The thing that was so impressive was that all the improvisations were really varied - holidays, a song, TIME TRAVEL, science experiments. The improvised bits often fall flat when it's hammering on the same joke, but these really encouraged creativity. Like, Trapp's callback to Brennan's birthday was hilarious.

Because his improve-parts are not dependent on the newcast doing a good performance, instead it is torturing them on purpose.

Interesting fact, the company that owned the copyright to Happy Birthday was ruled to have been granted that copyright incorrectly and therefore lost it.

Would have loved it nearly as much as the actual improvised song if Carolyn had pointed that out and then declared her intent to break the game again by singing an actual copyrighted Happy Birthday song to Uno-reverse punishment onto the writer who made that snafu.
