“I basically wanna address all the idiots out there, and you know who you are,” David said in the PSA, sitting at his home. "You’re socializing too close, it’s not good. You’re hurting old people like me. Well, not me, I have nothing to do with you. I’ll never see you, but, you know, other old people who might be your relatives.”

“If you’ve seen my show, nothing good ever happens going out of the house,” David said. “There’s just trouble out there. It’s not a good place to be.”
The promo ends with the slogan, “Stay home. Save Lives.”
