A world populated by mindless masses, acting on impulse with no intelligent thought, infecting everyone they come across. By the time he realized this fantasy world and his real world were no different, it was too late and he had already agreed to do the show. On the bright side the fictional reality seems to be funnier, so ... enjoy!
