The Platter with F-Man

A live-streamed variety show with an animated host and set. Cartoon cast members attempt to conduct interviews with live celebrities, generally losing focus on relevant details and approaching things from the perspective of a literal fly that believes he materialized from the flesh of an abandoned corpse.

The live band consists of a pill bug drummer, praying mantis bassist, and goliath beetle guitarist. The host can continue to interact via the television in the top-left corner. Band member poses are specific to additional Band scenes. Allowing them to change poses for specific lines. The band generally only appears when the host references them or attempts to make small talk with the lead guitarist.

The audience exists for interstitial gags, awkward silences, and forced applause breaks. Youtube and Twitch chats can be displayed over the empty audience sections to accommodate audience participation.
F-Man is a Fly. The Be Right Back bumper shows flies on a branch with a break message.
Depending on the streaming platform, a buffer may be applied to the live broadcast, potentially causing issues with recordings. The Thank You for Watching scene mirrors the Starting Soon scene
