This is based on a comment by Perfectchild. Please put your punchlines in the comments under this post. Feel free to change the joke to your favorite fake-news site like the NYT or whoever.

Ill try and put the answers here in the post as they come up.

A couple of possibilities for starters:

  1. None. The whole thing is done with Green-screen FX in studio with the actors claiming it was in Saudi Arabia.
  2. One crew to break the current woking bulb, a second crew to film its replacement and an extra camera man claiming to be a casual witness to the whole thing.

  1. I wish to apologise to news crew everywhere.
    My words were taken out of context;
    I admit, a tad unfair.
    You info-tain not explain, everything out there
    Excite, delight your ‘dead above their necks’
    To ensure they’re unaware.
    Who off to bed. Stunned. Could not really care.
    The garbage in is more garbage next
    Of substance beneath flair.
    And so this begs, who illuminates where
    Of souls and muscles flexed
    It obviously is ne’er.

  2. Takes many crews to hypnotize the masses to believe they changed a light bulb,

  3. Q: How many CNN crews does it take to change a light bulb?

    A: Just one … but the light bulb really has to want to change.

  4. Q: How many CNN crews does it take to change a light bulb?

    A: Can’t be done, that’s a hardware problem and they are software problems.

  5. Zero. I read on Facebook that malware in Russia remotely changes the light bulb from that timezone so that no news crews at all are necessary: Another anonymous source with a secret intelligence service leaks the light bulb change event to CNN just as it is occurring. The malware also posts a photo of the event to a White House computer server, which automatically forwards the photo via Wikileaks, and provides confirmation of the event, so that a CNN newscaster can report on it without the use of a news crew.

  6. No need to change the light bulb.

    An anonymous source said the light bulb was broken and turns out the light bulb is not broken and works just fine.

  7. How many CNN people does it take to screw in a light bulb.

    Only two but the question remains. How did they get in there in the first place?
