Scott OT #63: The Day Thread reposts an old thing Scott wrote in college (4/24)

In college, I was a writer for a sketch comedy show on campus that only lasted for a single showing. I wrote a script that I thought was funny but we didn’t get to produce it. Here it is, it makes fun of psychics! A LOOK BEHIND THE SCENES OF A PSYCHIC CALL-IN SHOW A title card saying THE CHRISTOLPH DAFREEZA show appears while the Trololo song plays over it.
