FOX Executives Discusses The Four

Fox Executive 1: Now this is exciting! A chance to remind people what we’re made of… original, cutting edge programming. We don’t follow trends, we are the trend! The Four is going to be that new concept that rewrites the rules of hot, hip television!

Fox Executive 2: Exactly! Plus, it’s exactly like American Idol and The Voice, which we already know people enjoy!

Fox Executive 1: Yes, right! But I do need to ask… why call it The Four? Is it because there are four judges?

Fox Executive 2: Four… hey, there are four judges! That’s a funny coincidence! No, The Four refers to the Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse. If this show does well, we’re all fairly certain that it will be a sign of the apocalypse. Like, a big sign. Impossible to ignore, really.

Fox Executive 1: Ah, gotcha.

Fox Executive 2: Before we wrap this meeting up, though… I feel like I have to ask… who is this Meghan Trachor person? I’m familiar with the other judges, but…

Fox Executive 1: Okay, I think that I get the confusion. You’re talking about Meghan Trainor.

Fox Executive 2: No, no… I’m taking about the girl whose gimmick is that her voice sounds like she’s singing through a trach hole. Meghan Trachor.

Fox Executive 1: Very common mistake. That’s actually Meghan Trainor. The trach hole thing is just an intriguing coincidence.

Fox Executive 2: Fascinating.
