Hail, Caesar!/The Bachelor Parody Sketch Idea (Second City Class Project)

Here’s an idea that I had for a sketch that’s a parody of the Coen Brothers film Hail, Caesar! and the reality show The Bachelor. The sketch will be a parody trailer and will follow a network fixer at ABC who covers up the contestant’s scandals. It will parody real scandals from the show like a contestant being racist, only doing it to be on TV, etc. And insane far out ideas like one the male Bachelor gets pregnant, or contestants are an extraterrestrial, or the Anti-Christ, etc. Plus, the network fixer is offered a more generous job offer to work for MTV’s Catfish. I picture the sketch ending with the network fixer taking the job offer from MTV and then it cuts to ABC announcing that The Bachelor is canceled both the show and the contestants. That’s my idea and hopefully I’ll write a draft eventually.
