Summary
This document appears to be a page from a book or memoir submitted as evidence to the House Oversight Committee. It begins with a dialogue where a subject claims immunity from the intelligence community because they 'know more than any of them.' The text then transitions to the narrator reminiscing about working on the failed 1987-88 Fox show 'The Wilton North Report,' detailing how a producer rejected famous comedians like Conan O'Brien, Ellen DeGeneres, and Richard Belzer for offensive reasons.

On my return fight the next morning, I found myself reminiscing
about the 1987-88 TV season, when I had been a writer and on-air
commentator on The Wilton North Report, a nightly satirical hour on the
Fox network that lasted only 21 shows. Critics blamed the hosts, a pair of
disc jockeys who were not untalented but who were deliberately chosen
for their inoffensiveness.

I had previously suggested as host Conan O’ Brien, a writer on the
show who also did the audience warm-ups. “No,” said the producer,
“he’ s not professional enough.” Ellen DeGeneres? “Too dykey.” Chris
rock? “Too raw.” Rosie O’ Donnell? “Who wants to look at her every
night?” Richard Belzer? “Too reptilian.” Belzer is a conspiracy researcher
as well as a comedian and actor, but little did he ever dream that
ultimately he—his reptilian self—could be the culmination of his own
investigation.
