(Opening begins at the 0:36-end mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators
original run play the camera pulls back to see James and everyone else on top
of a slab with the words “The Last Of The Americans” on it before cutting to James in his office)
TLOTA:
I'm James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and the views that I'm about to express are that of my own and some of yours. Originally, I had planned a "Reality Checkout" about "Jersey Shore" but that is gonna have to wait until May. Right now I need to express my thoughts on the recent events that has shaken the Internet Reviewer Universe to the core. (Cut to current Channel Awesome Logo intro before cutting to clips of The Nostalgia Critic as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (Voiceover):
As of recent, Channel Awesome has begun to crash and BURN! They had a Tenth anniversary special planned that got cancelled. All of their production contributors have ran off and the site has seen less and less people come on to their site and their YouTube Channel has seen subscribers leave. (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
And to be honest, they've got no one to blame but themselves. Let me give you guys some backstory. A while back some of the former Channel Awesome Contributors and producers and former administrator Holly Brown decided to come together in a Twitter conversation about how Channel Awesome is in fact the worst place to contribute to. I'm talking stories about harassment, abuse, jokes that were considered in such bad taste Adam Sandler would've booed at them and fraudulent uses of their funds from crowdfunding. If you want to know more here is a link to a near eighty page document explaining everything: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WZFkR__B3Mk9EYQglvislMUx9HWvWhOaBP820UBa4dA/preview

And how is Channel Awesome handling this? Are they being responsible by apologizing, making amends to their former contributors and producers? Has there been any shaking up of the higher-ups so that someone responsible to force them to do what is right? NOPE! (Cut to images of Channel Awesome and their Non-Apologies as James does a voiceover)
TLOTA (Voiceover):
Instead they've double downed on the claims of their innocence, not apologizing and not firing the source of the problem their CEO Mike Michaud! From what I've heard, this guy is a Chauvinistic Neanderthal Pig of A PIECE OF TRASH! He has TWICE not taken responsibility nor has he had the dignity apologize for his actions. Instead blaming the former contributors and producers. Saying that he feels sorry they felt gypped by his ass! Then he has gall to put alleged "facts" trying to dispute the former contributors and producers claims. Saying basically our smoke & mirrors are stronger than their Smoke & Mirrors. (Cut to James physically)
TLOTA:
Mike Michaud, you make me sick we're the same species let alone the same gender! Actually I take it back you and I are NOT the same species. You are a pig! Me, I am an evolved human being who continues to grow and change! I'm sorry for coming off so angrily but I hate it when the wrong things happen and no one stops it. However I am going to be conscientious enough to offer the solution to make Michaud realize how bad he is and give the former producers and contributors a sense of closure. Legal actions! (Cut to former Channel Awesome Contributors and Producers as James does a voiceover)
TLOTA (Voiceover):
Looking over the document, this has all the makings of a class action suit! You can take Channel Awesome for all its worth because after everything Michaud has put you guys through, your rights matter, your decency matter, your respect matters, everything Mike Michaud took from you guys, you deserve retribution! You may hurt Doug and Rob Walker in the process but eventually they will forgive you and see things your way and see what Michaud has done! (Cut to James physically)
TLOTA:
Or... Doug and Rob Walker along with an outside party including a lawyer can work out a deal where Mike Michaud can apologize for every heinous act he committed and then leave in the ton of shame he brought to Channel Awesome. But seeing as how Michaud believes he's infallibly bulletproof and he isn't going anywhere. I really think Channel Awesome will be facing that suit which means sadly the end of Channel Awesome. (Cut to clips of Classic Channel Awesome moments as from crossovers, Anniversary Specials and reviews as James does a voiceover)
TLOTA (Voiceover):
And honestly if this does kill Channel Awesome I won't let how they went down the toilet ruin the fun I had watching them. I will remember a lot of their work with fond thoughts instead of the jack-ass that killed Channel Awesome. Because for all the garbage that has come out as of late, I still hold hope things will get better and good will triumph. But I also believe I think its time to let them know that they need to do what is right. Channel Awesome needs to #ChangeTheChannel in order to keep themselves Awesome! (Cut to James physically)
