Burns is famous for documentary hit series like The War, National Parks: America's Best Idea, Jazz and The Civil War, all of which are known for their use of old-timey photos, candid interviews with individuals who know the subject and soothing narration. All those elements are included in this late night mockup, and The Civil War was unsurprisingly chosen as the primary inspiration.

The documentary tells the tale of President Jeff Zucker, who ordered Jebediah Jay Leno's forces to invade the territory of Primetime, only to be forced to turn back and seize the once-friendly Late Night territory held by a young upstart named Conan O'Brien. Tragedy ensues, including a terrible casualty of war: a bear known for not being very appropriate in public. Watch below.
