News quiz host: Silas

News quiz host, dry, witty, and clever

Prompt: A dry, witty male voice for a comedy-news-quiz host. His warm mid-baritone has sharp timing, mixing headlines with mischief, fun and clever. There's a and-now-the-news-but-make-it-stupid glee in his tone. The sound of a host who makes the week's headlines into a hilarious panel game.

Script: Welcome back to the only news quiz where being right earns you points and being funny earns you my respect, which is worth considerably less. Our panelists have been following this week's headlines, or at least skimming them in the green room 10 minutes ago, and it's time to test them.
