Tooning Out The News Season 1 Episode 9, titled "4/21/20 INSIDE THE HILL (NICK KRISTOF)," brings forth yet another episode of satirical takes on recent news and political events. The episode features the New York Times journalist, Nicholas Kristof, who is given a humorous and animated representation in the show.

The episode kicks off with the "Breaking News" segment, where a reporter informs viewers about Democrats' plans to delay the next stimulus bill and Republicans' support for the country's reopening. From there, the show swiftly transitions to parodying the conservative news network, OAN, with their show called "One America News Live," where the host brutally criticizes California's Governor Gavin Newsom over his response to the COVID-19 spread in the state.

The show then moves on to cover the Trump administration's move to suspend immigration as part of their response to the pandemic. The audience gets a sneak peek at the new immigration policy document, which is hilariously titled "The American Melting Pot, No Blondes Allowed." The sketch proceeds with a cartoonish portrayal of the policy's objective to limit the number of immigrants from certain countries with high population densities, as a bottle labeled "contagious" is held up to screen every time one of the countries is mentioned.

Tooning Out The News Season 1 Episode 9 also features "The Shpiel," where the hosts parody the current political events on a late-night talk show format. In this episode, the segment focuses on the awkward and somewhat comical interaction between Dr. Fauci and Trump regarding the use of hydroxychloroquine as a cure for COVID-19. The sketch hilariously portrays Trump offering Fauci a sandwich while questioning him about the drug.

The episode also features "The Room Rater," where the show scores various appearances of political figures' video conferences. The sketch hilariously critiques the angle, lighting, and background of the politicians' video conferencing setups. In this episode, the hosts criticize Nancy Pelosi's background, pointing out how it looks like a "hostage video."
