Below, check out Ben Schwartz and Samantha Newman's morning talk show spoof THE EARLIEST SHOW, co-produced by Funny or Die.

Things don't go as planned!

Schwartz explains to USA Today,  "I DVR'd every morning show for three days in a row, and watched hours and hours of exactly how they moved the camera."

Funny Or Die's social media division produces content for over 15 platforms and is the #1 comedy brand on both Twitter and Facebook. Funny Or Die is the top destination for celebrity-driven comedy videos and highly topical political commentary.
