Jon Stewart:
Samantha, could you describe what caused the blackout?

Samantha Bee:
Well, Jon, at about two in the afternoon, a power station overloaded at the Lake Erie Loop. The power grid failed. Jon?

Jon Stewart:
Is that all?

Samantha Bee:
Pretty much.

Jon Stewart:
Do you even know how the power is distributed?

Samantha Bee:
Evenly?

Jon Stewart:
Do you know what the distributing process is?

Samantha Bee:
[uncertainly] Well, first they shovel the energy into a big pile... and put it in wheelbarrows... and then they roll it down to the transformers.

Jon Stewart:
Transformers?

Samantha Bee:
You know, big robots; turn into cars; shoot lasers out their eyes?
