Lazlo's Name Game

Lazlo's Name Game is a recurring bit that started many years ago after Slimfast continually booked underwhelming interviews. Lazlo would often berate Slimfast for the quality of the guests he booked for the show. These ranged from the makers of an app to a woman who ran a website dedicated to ending daylight savings time. On the days of these interviews, Slimfast would typically tease the interview during the headlines segment by saying something like "coming up, we will be talking to John Smith." Lazlo decided to start feigning excitement about the upcoming guests and would make up fake backstories for them. Using the example above, Lazlo would say something like "John Smith is the inventor of the pet rock who survived an assassination attempt in 1998." Slimfast would usually then tell Lazlo he was thinking of the wrong John Smith based on his backstory, and Lazlo would respond by creating a completely new backstory for the person. This bit soon started showing up in the show whenever Lazlo wasn't familiar with a name and continues today.
