Prime Video’s Fallout Chat Show Is a Wild Surprise

Prime Video has quietly slipped out a mock Fallout talk show that’s as odd as it is entertaining. The host? None other than the dodgy Snake Oil Salesman, played by Jon Daly, who brings his signature charm to the wasteland set. Tucked away on the Fallout season 2 page, this offbeat programme features Ella Purnell, who plays Lucy, and Justin Theroux, the bloke behind Mr. House, dropping in for some truly peculiar chats. The whole thing feels like it’s taking the mickey out of traditional talk shows, with a style that’ll remind locals of the Eric Andre Show—awkward pauses, abrupt video cuts, and a host who couldn’t care less about the usual rules.

Unusual Guests and Wasteland Banter

The show’s format is anything but standard. Guests are thrown into surreal conversations, with the Snake Oil Salesman steering things in unexpected directions. Ella Purnell and Justin Theroux both seem to be in on the joke, rolling with the bizarre questions and off-kilter humour. The set itself is a nod to the Fallout universe, complete with wasteland props and a sense that anything could happen at any moment. It’s a fever dream of a chat show, and you get the feeling the cast are having as much fun as the viewers.

For those who’ve spent hours wandering the Mojave, there are a few treats tucked in. Justin Theroux’s episode, for example, features Fisto—the infamous Protectron robot from Fallout: New Vegas. It’s a clever wink to the gamers who’ll spot the reference straight away, and adds another layer of fun for fans who know their Fallout lore inside out.

Hidden Gem for Fallout Fans

This oddball talk show is a bonus that no one really asked for, but it’s hard not to enjoy. It’s hidden away on Prime Video, so only the keenest Fallout fans are likely to stumble across it. The whole thing feels like a late-night Adult Swim fever dream, with a dry sense of humour and a willingness to poke fun at itself. It’s a far cry from the more polished promos you’d expect from a big streaming service, and that’s part of its charm.

Compared to Prime Video’s last Fallout-related effort—a recap of season 1 powered by AI, which was quickly pulled after punters spotted a heap of plot mistakes—this chat show is a much better look. It’s rough around the edges, but that suits the Fallout vibe perfectly. If you’re after something a bit more serious, there’s always the season 2 review or a full breakdown of the timeline. And for those wondering if they should play Fallout: New Vegas before diving into the new season, there’s even a spoiler-free guide to help you decide.
