Amazon’s Surprise Fallout Chat Show on Prime Video Exceeds Expectations

Prime Video has unveiled a wild parody chat show set in the Fallout universe that you have to see to believe.

Hosted by the dubious Snake Oil Salesman from Fallout (played by Jon Daly), the Fallout Fake Talkshow, available on the Fallout season 2 page, features surreal conversations with Ella Purnell, who plays Lucy, and Justin Theroux, the voice of Mr. House, as they navigate the wasteland.

If you were expecting a deep dive into acting or insights about the cast’s roles in Fallout, think again. The first episode kicks off with a hilarious misunderstanding where the host mistakenly thinks Purnell is in Netflix’s Stranger Things.

The vibe is reminiscent of the Eric Andre Show, complete with the host’s laid-back demeanor and awkwardly cut video clips. It’s a strange yet delightful addition for Prime Video viewers that definitely didn’t have to be made—but we’re glad it exists.

Gamers will also find some New Vegas nods during this Adult Swim-style fever dream. Justin Theroux’s episode even features Fisto, the Protectron robot that players can encounter in 2010’s Fallout: New Vegas.

Overall, this Prime Video creation is a significant improvement over its previous Fallout offering—a poorly received AI-generated recap of Fallout season 1 that was quickly pulled due to numerous plot errors.

For those seeking a more serious take, there’s a review of Fallout season 2 and a detailed timeline breakdown. Plus, you can find out whether you should play Fallout: New Vegas before diving into season 2.
