This may be showing my age, but back in the early 80s on HBO there was a show called Not (Necessarily) The News, a parody/political satire show much like The Daily Show, or Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update.
They did a sketch about the 800 area code, where everyone who lives there works for a phone order company. They showed a woman in her living room enjoying a cup of coffee. The phone rings, she answers it, takes an order, then goes over to a large chalkboard and writes down the order. Then goes back to her coffee and magazine.
If Walken were president and Stewart were vice, I would seriously consider emigrating. Just so they could be my presidents. ..I'm gonna stop fanboying now and leave you alone.

Yes I'm from the U.S. I've no idea if it was stolen from British TV, but I wouldn't be surprised.

I love The Daily Show by the way, just wish we had it here in Oz. Chris Walken for President and John Stewart for Vice!
