Though what started out as probably the weirdest interview ever aired on Fox News turned out to be but an elaborate hoax, this is still likely the best thing that will ever air on that channel.

Here's what went down: Comedian Max Rice appeared on the morning show more known for its Obama-bashing than its news reporting, AKA Fox and Friends, this morning to speak as a recent college grad who voted for President Obama in 2008 but, now unemployed, turned his support to Mitt Romney for 2012. At least - that's what producers thought. From the moment Rice appeared on camera, it became apparent that something was deeply off, from his subtle mocking of host Gretchen Carlson to his claims that he now supported Romney because he lost a basketball game - amongst other things.

After the interview aired, Raw Story did some sleuthing and discovered that Rice is actually an aspiring comedian who totally just punk'd Fox News. In a statement about the appearance to the site, Rice divulged how the whole thing came to be:
