In the Great News episode “Competing Offer,” an eccentric billionaire named Fenton Pelt files a lawsuit against The Breakdown. He says The Breakdown’s story about his company, Smoke Meadow Farms, was inaccurate. The lawsuit specifically names veteran host Chuck (John Michael Higgins) who believes he can solve the problem which has the potential to destroy the network.
