Jimmy Fallon's recreation of *that* chaotic CNN Iowa call is impressively on point

If you need a quick summary of the incredibly messy caucus voting situation in Iowa, just listen to this phone call between CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer and precinct secretary Shawn Sebastian.

Or, alternatively, you could watch Jimmy Fallon's recreation of it.

In the parody above, a harried Fallon (playing Sebastian) waits on hold with the Democratic Party, finally gets through, gets hung up on, and then spills a drink all over his laptop.

The thing is, it's not even that much of an exaggeration.
