The show revolves on Hill trying to fill an "alien fun capsule" with funny things so aliens will not invade. Regular segments include "Local News Round-Up", where Hill and the guests sing a short song about strange headlines from local news, Hill performing a short skit with 'Alan the Alien' to decide what the next round will be about, a 'what happens next' segment, taken from You've Been Framed, where Hill shows a clip before the start of the ads and a song at the end of the show.
