You didn't miss much. It was just two guys making crank phone calls. Not quite as good as Crank Yankers.

Crank Yankers would have been when you were in your teens. It was puppets voiced by comics making crank calls, aired after the Jon Stewart version of the Daily Show, hence the Jon Stewart/Tucker Carlson exchange: "Don't compare yourself to us, you're supposed to be real news. We're literally followed by puppets making crank phone calls."

The artifact that you gave the most detail on is the one I actually remember. Ironically, this song came on tonight. Someone immediately said it was by Creed, and Limewire would have agreed. Must be a dark and stormy night in Lowell...

Here's the Stewart/Carlson exchange. I will say the nice thing about 90's references is that the aspect ratio is 4:3 so you get more screen used while watching vertically.
