V/O: The X-Presidents!

Struck by a hurricane-powered dose of radiation while appearing at a celebrity golf tournament, our four former presidents are charged with powers and strengths, rendering them all the more extraordinary!

George Bush!

Ronald Reagan!

Jimmy Carter!

Gerald Ford!

Pitting their arsenal of phenomenal powers against Earth and interplanetary foes alike, the fabulous foursome for right against might.

X-Presidents!

[ open on interior, X-Presidents secret headquarters ]

Ronald Reagan: Jalalabad? Tora Bora? What a freakin’ snooze-fest! Wars are supposed to take four days – tops!

George Bush: [ making out with Barbara in the hot tub ] It’s all Ford’s fault! He weakened the CIA!

Gerald Ford: [ playing paddleball and dreaming ] Sand-wich..

Ronald Reagan: It’s everyone’s fault, but mine. Bush, you’re the one who trained bin Laden against the Soviets!

Jimmy Carter: What did I do?

Ronald Reagan: You’re kidding, right? Your foreign policy was gayer than a Cher impersonator.

Jimmy Carter: Come on!

Ronald Reagan: Richard Simmons thought you were soft!

[ Bill Clinton enters, wearing a Superman-like costume and a mask with a long nose over his crotch ]

Bill Clinton: Hey, fellas, don’t forget me!

George Bush: Didn’t we tell ya, no costumes?

Ronald Reagan: Clinton, you’re the most to blame! If you worked half as hard as your dick, bin Laden would have been caught years ago!

Bill Clinton: That’s not fair!

Ronald Reagan: Maybe if bin Laden had been a fat girl, you might have tried to find him!

George Bush: [ laughing ] Gip’s on a roll! [ smiles as Barbara goes underwater to pleasure him further ]

Ronald Reagan: Shut up!

Bill Clinton: Come on, fellas, I know I don’t have fancy radioactive powers. But I built a new robot. [ robot enters wearing bra and thong ] I designed it with Leo DiCaprio.

Jimmy Carter: What does it do?

Bill Clinton: What doesn’t it do! [ pats the robot’s thong-covered ass ]

Ronald Reagan: [ annoyed ] Get out! It’s time we took care of this thing. As presidents, we crippled our country’s intelligence. Now, we’ve got to find bin Laden ourselves! Undercover!

Jimmy Carter: [ shaking ] You mean.. spy?

Ronald Reagan: Try not to wet yourself, Carter.

Jimmy Carter: Too late. [ pants are shown to be wet ]

Ronald Reagan: I’m not saying it’ll be easy. We’ll have to use all the insight we gained from Grenada.

Bob Dole: [ dusting a bookcase ] Can I come, too?

Ronald Reagan: Dole, just be glad we let you be butler!

Bob Dole: Right.

[ dissolve to the X-Presidents wearing colorful disguises while walking through Afghanistan ]

Ronald Reagan: Okay, remember – first we ingratiate ourselves. Then, we get the word on the street.

George Bush: [ waving to Afghanis ] Hi! Death to America!

Bill Clinton: Bush is Satan! [ to Bush ] Not you.. your son.

Jimmy Carter: [ talking to cave guard ] Yes. Bin Laden.. we are looking for. We’re his old friends..

Ronald Reagan: Yeah. We went to Asshole School together!

Jimmy Carter: [ attempts to address the Afghani in his own language ]

Ronald Reagan: Alright, my turn!

Jimmy Carter: But I have experience negotiating with this culture!

Ronald Reagan: I know you do – that’s how I got elected. Now, watch and learn!

Jimmy Carter: But you don’t speak Arabic!

Ronald Reagan: It’s all about confidence. [ demonstrates, but gets nowhere in his conversation with the guard ] He’s just talking gibberish. I don’t know what he’s saying!

[ suddenly, a group of Afgani rebels begin an attack ]

Jimmy Carter: Uh-oh! [ relieves in his pants ]

Gerald Ford: [ confused ] Sand-wich..?

[ suddenly, Ace and Gary, the Ambiguously Gay Duo attack from the sky ]

Gary: That’s sticking it to them, Ace!

George Bush: What the hey?

Bill Clinton: Don’t ask, don’t tell.

Gary: We’re here to find the bad guy!

Ace: We’re gonna get in their holes and smoke ’em out!

Ronald Reagan: That’s sick!

[ the long nose of Ace and Gary’s vehicle starts to quiver back and forth ]

Ace: The dual-car’s tracking them right now! The tip is very sensitive. It can penetrate through any caves or backways.

Gary: We’re losing power!

Ace: Tickle the fender, Gary!

[ Gary exits the vehicle during flight and proceeds to rub the fender, rendering the vehicle more powerful ]

Ace: Here it comes! [ their vehicle slams into a cave opening and rams in and out several times to no avail ] Lubricate! [ juice emits onto the hood of the vehicle, and it rams into the cave one last time, pulling out a sticky bin Laden ] We got him! We got bin Laden!

[ the Afghanis gawk in confusion ]

Gary: Bin Laden? The guy we’ve been after?

[ no response ]

Ace: Hello? Bin Laden! What’s everyone looking at?

Everyone: Nothing!

[ a sandwich falls from the sky, Ford catches it ]

Gerald Ford: [ gleeful ] Sand-wich!

[ dissolve to jingle ]

Jingle:
“War brings people together
War brings people together

Black or white, yellow or red
We all want to see the same guy dead!

War brings people together (except Jerry Falwell)
War brings people together (brothers and sisters..)”

After a year of speculation, inventor Dean Kamen unveiled his mysterious “It”, which is a battery-powered two-wheel people mover. Many believe it will completely revolutionize the way people get hit by cars.

Jimmy Fallon: Well, as the holiday season approaches, there are no doubt gonna be many holiday parties. At these parties, I urge you to drink responsibly. Especialy girls. Why? Because you don’t want to end up like this. Please welcome Drunk Girl, everybody.

Drunk Girl: Wheeeee!! Hahahahaha!! Shut up! Hahahaha! This holiday season, it’s hard to stop drinking because.. what?!

Jimmy Fallon: Yeah, that’s great.. that’s fantastic.

Drunk Girl: [ starts weeping ]

As part of a breeding program, Chinese scientists are giving Viagra to the endangered South China tiger. This follows years of independent tiger Viagra research conducted at the home of Sigfried & Roy.

A Virginia man is facing drug charges after a state trooper found over $1,000 worth of marijuana in his son’s diaper bag. This is either the case of a very bad father, or a wonderful magic baby who poops weed.

The only way for the public to see the White House Christmas decorations this season will be through a virtual web tour of the mansion. A White House spokesperson says, “Just log on, type in bush ornaments, and enjoy whatever comes up.

Little Sleuths

Alistair Chesterfield…..Hugh Jackman
Franklin…..Horatio Sanz
Commissioner…..Darrell Hammond
Bookie Newton…..Seth Meyers
Sam Newton…..Amy Poehler

FADE IN

INT. WORTHINGTON LIBRARY – U.K. – EARLY 1900’s – NIGHT

A goateed ALISTAIR CHESTERFIELD, in suit & bowtie, smokes a pipe as FRANKLIN the butler comes forth with a silver tray of tea.

Alistair Chesterfield: Yes – thank you Franklin. Set the tea on the sideboard. I shant be much longer.

Franklin: How’s the case coming along, sir? Any insight on who slain Lady Worthington?

Alistair Chesterfield: Never fear…

Chesterfield faces the CAMERA.

Alistair Chesterfield: Alistair Chesterfield! There’s never been a case I haven’t solved.

The COMMISSIONER, in gray pinstripe suit, stumbles into the library.

Commissioner: Ah Chesterfield!

Alistair Chesterfield: Yes. What brings you to the Worthington estate, Commissioner?

Commissioner: It seems Lady Worthington had relatives in the States and they hired their own investigator.

Alistair Chesterfield: I work alone. You know that. I always have.

Commissioner: Not anymore. I’d like you to meet your new partner – Bookie Newton.

BOOKIE NEWTON, late teens, thick glasses, bowtie & sweater, scurries in.

Bookie Newton: Cheerio, blokes!! Commissioner, I hate to raise any alarm bells, but I observed all the cars are driving on the wrong side of the street.

Commissioner: I’ll look into that.

The commissioner laughs in a sarcastic tone and trails off.

Alistair Chesterfield: If you must be here boy, I suggest you stay out of my way for I am…

Chesterfield faces the CAMERA.

Alistair Chesterfield: Alistair Chesterfield – the man who single handedly solved such mind bending cases as the Sign of the Serpent, the Case of the Missing Crown Jewels, and the Case of Misses Wigglesworth and Her Secret Ecstasy Lab.

Bookie Newton: Well, I’m Bookie Newton and I’m no amateur sleuth and I’ve solved a few cases myself. Like the Case of the Unpopped Kernel, the Case of the Unwashed Gym Socks, and the Case of the Unclaimed Fart.

Alistair Chesterfield: That was you!

Bookie Newton: Mm-hmm. I deduced it to whoever smelt it, dealt it.

Alistair Chesterfield: And whoever denied it, supplied it! I’m familiar with your work.

Chesterfield shakes Bookie’s hand.

SAM NEWTON, in pigtails & reform school uniform, enters.

Sam: Hey everybody! I just peed in a water closet!!

Bookie Newton: This is my kid sister Sam. She’s nine!

Sam shakes her fist at Bookie.

Sam: 9 1/2!!!

Sam smiles.

Bookie Newton: She’s pretty perceptive for her age.

Sam: It smells like old people and murder in here.

Sam whiffs her left palm of her nose.

Sam: Wait a second!! Was an old person murdered in here!!

Alistair Chesterfield: Precisely. I can already tell you are going to be of the utmost assistance.

Bookie Newton: If we’re going to work together, there are a few things you should know. First off, I have a fear of water due to swimmer’s ear. I also occasionally wet my bed. So if the case should involve water, I can’t swim in it or drink in it before bedtime.

Chesterfield nods.

Sam: And I’m afraid of clowns. It doesn’t matter if they’re happy or sad, they just plain terrify me.

Bookie comforts her.

Alistair Chesterfield: Fine. Fine, little sleuths. Let me fill you in… We believe Lady Worthington was murdered by a cat burglar interested in stealing her diamonds.

Bookie & Sam pull out large magnifying glasses, which are attached to lanyards around their necks.

Both: Why would a cat want to steal diamonds!!??

Sam: Or better yet, why would Lady Worthington have so much cat jewelry?

Bookie & Sam face each other with the magnifying glasses over their faces.

Both: Let’s figure it out.

Bookie Newton: Cats are related to lions…

Sam: Lions are kings of the jungle…

Bookie Newton: And jungle is part of the rainforest…

Sam: And rainforests are being destroyed by loggers…

Bookie Newton: And lager is a type of beer…

Sam: Made in England…

Both: The scene of the crime is England. Case closed!

Both shake hands and grin. Jackman breaks character by cracking up a little.

Alistair Chesterfield: Not quite. You’ve done very good work, but you’re only halfway there. Still we need a breakthrough.

Sam: I got a breakthrough – why don’t you give us some of that candy?

Sam turns to her left and reaches for a large candy dish. Bookie holds her back.

Bookie Newton: No Sam. You know the rules. Candy gives her nightmares.

Sam: I hate the devil, but I love his sugary poison.

Sam grins in a creepish manner. Jackman again cracks a brief chuckle.

Alistair Chesterfield: Well, my little sleuths, we don’t have much time.

Jackman faces the carpet as he struggles to keep a straight face.

Sam: Fine! Let’s re-enact the crime!

Bookie Newton: Backwards!

Both: A re-en-back-ment!!

Alistair Chesterfield: Excellent! I haven’t done one of those in years. Let’s begin.

Sam gets down on both her knees and places her faces into the floor.

Sam: Lady Worthington was found here – face down on the floor.

Bookie Newton: She obviously fell asleep while outlining herself in this chalk.

Sam: Yeah.

Sam gets up with a candlestick in her hand.

Sam: While she was sleeping, the killer hit her with this candlestick.

Chesterfield grabs the candlestick and begins moving backwards and moves to a mantelpiece

Alistair Chesterfield: Which was grabbed from this cluttered, nearby mantelpiece!

Sam: Yeah. And this must have meant the killer snuck up from behind her.

Bookie begins to walk backwards through a door.

Bookie Newton: Therefore the killer must have entered through this door.

Sam: What happens now, Alistair Chesterfield?

Alistair Chesterfield: It’s simple, Sam. Bookie will keep backing up until he ends up at the killer’s point of origin.

Sam: Well, maybe we should eat some candy while we wait?

Sam moves towards the candy dish. Chesterfield holds her back.

Alistair Chesterfield: Do you think that’s such a good idea, Sam?

Sam: Yes!

Bookie races in, out of breath.

Bookie Newton: I backed up what must have seemed forever. Until I found myself in the butler’s quarters!

Franklin comes behind Chesterfield, setting down a new tray of tea, before everyone turns to him and Franklin shakes the tray and loses control. DRAMATIC REVEAL MUSIC CUES IN. Sanz holds back a laugh as the clutter of the tray nearly hits him.

Franklin: That crusty old bitch deserved it!! She hadn’t given me a raise in 24 years!

Alistair Chesterfield: Take yourself to the nearest jail, Franklin.

Franklin: As you wish, sir.

Franklin exits with poise, but stops at the Newtons.

Franklin: Damn you little sleuths!!

Both: Case closed!!

Both shake hands in much vigor.

Alistair Chesterfield: Shall we share a ride to the train station?

Bookie Newton: Actually, our nanny’s waiting outside and she gives me an erection, so I kind of want to go with her.

Sam: Hey Bookie, what’s an erection?

Bookie Newton: Break it down!

Sam: Well, “erect” means something “straight up”, and “ion” means to “beat it”!!

Alistair Chesterfield: Precisely. Those little sleuths…

Chesterfield smiles as he smokes his pipe, watching them exit.

[ Bert laughs ] I got this hairpiece from a hind leg of a dog – I go by a tree, and this whole side goes up in the air! [ Bert laughs, as Rip nudges Truman Capote ] Did you get that one, Tru! [ laughs ] I’ve been with a lot of kids – I love kids.. but I can’t bear them!

[ laughs uproariously ]

[ to the groaning audience ] I don’t dance – I didn’t write this crap, so pay attention! [ Bert laughs ] Anyway, kids love these little jokes – If Totie fields married Truman Capote, she’d be Totie Capote! [ Bert laughs, as Rip sucker punches Truman Capote ] Did you get it, you dingbat! And, if Kitty Carlyle married Conway Twitty, she’dbe Kitty Twitty! [ Bert can’t stop laughing ] Wait, I got one more! If Ella Fitzgerald married Darth Vader, she’d be Ella Vader! [ Bert laughs harder than ever ] I should’ve started with that one, shouldn’t I? And if Pia Zadora married Rich Little, she’d be Pia Little! No, I’m not working with kids, you know why? Because the kids love things like this! [ stands up and waves a bag of confetti over the celebrities, to wild laughter from Bert ]

Bert Convy: Oh, my goodness! Rip Taylor, everybody! Oh, my goodness! [ can’t stop chuckling ] Okay, well, let’s begin the game! Now, Ken, the first question is for you! [ alarm sounds ] Ohhhh.. that alarm means we’re out of time! And Ken is our winner!
