What happens

Exit 57 is a 30-minute sketch comedy series that aired on the American television channel Comedy Central from 1995 to 1996; its original timeslot was Sundays at 10:00 p.m., but was later moved to Tuesdays at 9:00 p.m. The cast was composed of comedians Stephen Colbert, Paul Dinello, Jodi Lennon, Mitch Rouse, and Amy Sedaris, all of whom had previously studied improv at The Second City in Chicago. In 1999 Sedaris, Dinello, Colbert and Rouse also created the Comedy Central show Strangers with Candy. All of the sketches in the series are implied to take place in the fictionalized suburban setting of the Quad Cities. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
