Fake News: California Boys Masterpost

Collected fanworks from the world described in this monologue (transcribed here). Each piece isn't necessarily in the same universe as any of the others; the only thing binding them together is that they're all based on some interpretation of the original clip.

Strict Canon

"Stephen" and a man known only as "Jonathan" are a gay couple in early-'90s California, where they run an upscale dog grooming salon.

Full-Cast AU

The area is populated by other Daily Show cast members, with age-fudging as necessary. For instance, Olivia and other young correspondents are eighth graders at a local school.

By Other People

Because I don't have dibs on this clip (nor would I want to).

This will have a proper header and so on eventually. Also, I'm not the only one to play with this idea, right? Links to other fanworks based on the same clip are appreciated!
