The show begins with an opening monologue from Keenen Ivory Wayans who explains the theme for the episode. He announces that the show is going to be about "Black excellence" and then proceeds to introduce the audience to some of the most hilarious sketches of the show.

The first sketch is a parody of "Doogie Howser MD". The sketch features a young African American boy named "Doogie Bowser" who is a child prodigy and practicing doctor.

The sketch is incredibly funny and highlights the absurdity of reality TV.

The highlight of the show is the sketch "Miss Black Person USA". The sketch is a parody of the Miss America Pageant. The contestants in the pageant are all stereotypical representations of black women. The sketches lampoon the beauty pageant industry, showcasing various rounds in the contest, such as the swimwear round, talent round, and interview round. The humor in the sketches lies in the absurdity of the answers given in the interview round and the mockery of the contestants' talents.
