Celebrity comedic product pitch skitfrom @yahoo

[01]

Overview

Cardi B frantically paces around her glamorous dressing room, panicking because she feels she is forgetting something crucial. After her assistant tries to guess the forgotten task, Cardi experiences a stylized moment of 'FOMSI' (Fear Of Missing Something Important). Her assistant then introduces the new Yahoo Mail Planner feature, demonstrating via on-screen UI how it organizes tasks and events. Cardi uses the app to check her schedule and humorously remembers her most important task: laughing at her haters.
