Nj: Non-nuclear Test

NJ: NON-NUCLEAR TEST

REPORTER:
I have North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-um
with me to talk about his latest provocation. Well, you
certainly gained the world's attention with that
underground nuclear test.

KIM JONG-UN:
Ha! You are so last week. I'm here to talk about our
warning to the Russia Federation not to mess with us.

REPORTER:
You mean... the meteor?

KIM JONG-UN:
Is that what the lying capitalist dogs are calling it?
That was no meteor. That was the latest in North
Korean ballistic missile technology! No window is
safe!

REPORTER:
So, to be clear, your new missiles are giant hunks of
iron that you hurl at the earth from outer space.

KIM JONG-UN:
Yes. But you will never catch us putting our missiles
up there. We are too good at keeping it a secret. The
first you will know is when a giant ball of fire rips
across the sky. Or when you see a dash-cam video
of it on You-tube. North Korea is the best!

REPORTER:
So when is your next demonstration?

KIM JONG-UN:
Uh? I'll have to check with my astronomer.

END

I really like this sketch, it's a clever take on the meteor story. They probably had a LOT of sketches on that subject.

One piece of advice I'll give is avoid a 'straight' interview if you possibly can. They tend to go for fewer and fewer interviews these days and prefer to have a sketch with some action in it. There are exceptions but if you can make it a non-interview sketch.

Other than that good work!
