It was spot on
That reel is a classic example of "unintentional" comedy on live television. The context involves two news anchors attempting to report on a serious story about a missing person—a father being searched for by his young daughter.
Because the family didn't have a photo available, the news station aired a crude, hand-drawn sketch by the little girl to help identify him.
The humor explodes when the anchors, who are trying to maintain their professional "news voices," see the sketch for the first time. The drawing is a simple stick-figure-style face with two massive, wild puffs of hair on the sides of a bald head. As they reveal that the father has been found and show his actual photo next to the drawing, the resemblance is so hilariously accurate that the anchors completely lose their composure, collapsing into fits of laughter and even disappearing under their desks.
