What happens

You Wrote It, You Watch It is an MTV sketch comedy show that aired from 1992–1993. It was hosted by Jon Stewart and featured members of The State comedy troupe. The latter of whom starred in their own show on MTV following the cancellation of You Wrote It, You Watch It. The State performed humorous sketch recreations of letters sent to the MTV offices by viewers, depicting outrageous stories and events from their daily lives, with introductions by Stewart. An early example of crowdsourcing, the program relied on content submitted by viewers. The show only lasted one season before its cancellation. Jon Stewart would later quip, "You wrote it, you just didn't watch it!" (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
