Character Archetype: Haunted Hostess or Horrible Host

In the drab, desolate, devastated, Thunderkissed world, you're a bolt of color and a flash of pizzazz. You wield snark like a razor and fire quips like a gunslinger.  You're an entertainer and seer; a caretaker of dead culture and forgotten relics; a librarian of lost lore and mangled media.

And maybe even Planet Motherfucker's last hope, for you KNOW THINGS MAN REALLY FUCKIN' NEEDS TO KNOW.  (Except for all the puns; no one needs those.  Well...okay, maaaaaybe just a few.)

You've had the last laugh, too, and proven all those long-dead nagging mothers and censors wrong...because TV really WAS good for you.
