According to Comedy Album ‘2776,’ the Geeks Shall Inherit the Earth
'2776' is the new musical comedy album from writers Rob Kutner and the Levinson brothers. The premise: it’s the 1000th birthday of America, and an evil alien is threatening to destroy the U.S. unless the president and his secret service agent can prove that the country is worth saving. '2776' features more than 80 comedians, musicians and actors who got together to record songs about this crazy place we call home.
