He has been invited to come back on in the future.
The Hosts
Derek Miller - is an original member of the cast and has been called "really funny". He is known for his on the spot comments, and his constant Roger the Alien impersonation.
Elias Menninger - is the new member of the show, and so isn't known for much apart from varying facial hair. Yet.
Jordan Hill - known for his numerous impersonations on the show, such as Bill Cosby, Eddie Murphy and Aunt Rose. Jordan has been described as 'the man with the velvet voice' and often gets into small arguments with Hugo on the show.
Features of the Show
The Music - The music is varied and different, from the top of the British Charts, to Country music, and random songs Hugo finds.
'You've Been Brunched!' - This is the catchphrase which the show has adopted, for when somebody gets proved wrong or knocked down. The phrase 'You've Been Brunched!' is shouted by one host, at which point Hugo plays a rifle shot loudly two or three times.
Silly Billy News - The part of the show where they find news from around the world, which the hosts find either funny or interesting. Usually is neither. It is introduced by the hosts all putting on British Accents, and always includes 'Silly Billy News' and 'News that is Silly'. Jordan and Derek normally do this, Hugo almost never contributes.
Brunch the States - A new segment which has only been done once. They go through the states, 2 each show, and 'Brunch' them.
