"Second Season of 'Fernwood 2Nite' Moves to California: A Satirical Take on Big TV Stars"
"The second season of 'Fernwood 2Nite' moves from Fernwood, Ohio to Alta Coma, California, expanding its national reach with a satirical take on Merv Griffin, Johnny Carson, and other big names in 1970s talk TV. Each week, it promises to offend some viewers, though often featuring well-known stars joining the cast for self-deprecating humor about their media personas."
