In animation, a dialogue bubble pops out of a map with a caption "That TVO Kids Show From Home."

Kids say FROM HOME!

Laura sits under a blanket tent. She is in her twenties, with two ponytails and bangs. She wears a blue T-shirt and headphones.

Laura says HEY TVO KIDS.
I WANT TO KNOW:
DO YOU BELIEVE IN ALIENS?
DO YOU THINK THEY EXIST?
I THINK
THEY MOST DEFINITELY EXIST
SOMEWHERE IN THE VAST UNIVERSE
OUT THERE.
BUT I SHOULD PROBABLY CONSULT
AN EXPERT ABOUT THIS FIRST,
WHICH MEANS IT'S TIME FOR...

A Male Announcer says WE NEED TO KNOW!

Laura continues WHOA! THAT'S RIGHT.
IT'S TIME FOR WE NEED TO KNOW.
SO, CHECK IT OUT.
HERE IS A QUESTION
SENT IN FROM TVOKID TORI,
AGE 11.
TORI NEEDS TO KNOW,
"DO ALIENS EXIST?"
AND I HAVE THE PERFECT PERSON
TO TALK TO ABOUT THIS.
LET'S CHECK IN WITH
HEIDI THE ASTRONOMER.

A clip plays.

Heidi is in her mid-twenties, with shoulder-length blond hair. She wears glasses and a black and red sleeveless shirt. She stands next to a giant telescope.

Heidi says SO, DESPITE ALL OF
OUR MONITORING OF THE NIGHT SKY,
ASTRONOMERS HAVEN'T YET FOUND
ANY DIRECT EVIDENCE
THAT ALIENS
OR EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE EXIST.
HOWEVER, ONE THING WE DO KNOW
IS THAT
THERE'S PROBABLY A LOT
OF OPPORTUNITIES
IN THE UNIVERSE
FOR LIFE TO ARISE.
SO, JUST IN OUR OWN
MILKY WAY GALAXY,
THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS
OF STARS.
AND WHAT WE KNOW,
FROM JUST LOOKING AT
A SMALL FRACTION OF THOSE STARS,
IS THAT PLANETS AROUND STARS
ARE COMMON.
AND SOME OF THOSE PLANETS
THAT WE'VE FOUND ALREADY
ARE WHAT WE CALL
IN THE HABITABLE ZONE,
OR A DISTANCE FROM
THEIR HOME STAR
WHERE LIQUID WATER MIGHT EXIST
ON A ROCKY PLANET,
SIMILAR TO THE CONDITIONS
FOR LIFE HERE ON EARTH.
NOW, THAT'S JUST IN
OUR MILKY WAY GALAXY.
BUT THE TRUTH IS THAT THERE IS
TRILLIONS OF GALAXIES
IN THE OBSERVABLE UNIVERSE.
SO, WHILE WE HAVEN'T FOUND
EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE YET,
I SAY THE CHANCES THAT THEY
EXIST OUT THERE ARE PRETTY GOOD.

The clip ends.

Laura says WOW. OKAY.
SO, THE CHANCES ARE PRETTY GOOD,
CONSIDERING HOW BIG
THE UNIVERSE IS.
BUT OH, HOLD ON.
I'M GETTING A CALL.
IT SAYS IT'S FROM
IDREAMOFPIZZA2006
@GALAXYMAIL.COM.
I WONDER WHO THAT COULD BE.
MAYBE IT'S A TVOKID
WANTING TO ASK A QUESTION,
I GUESS?

A person wearing an alien mask appears.

A Teen Alien says OH, HEY, LAURA.

Laura says HELLO?

The Teen Alien says THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR HAVING ME ON THE SHOW.
I WAS JUST WATCHING
THE EPISODE,
AND I JUST WANTED
TO LET YOU KNOW
THAT ALIEN? 100 percent REAL.
FACT.

Laura says WHAT? WAIT.
ARE YOU, LIKE,
A TEEN ALIEN?

The Teen Alien says YEAH. I'M A TEENAGE ALIEN,
AND I'M HERE. I'M REAL.
IN THE FLESH.
I'M SPEAKING MY MIND.
AND I LOVE YOUR SHOW,
JUST WANTED TO SAY,
BECAUSE IT'S, LIKE, THE BEST WAY
TO LEARN ABOUT EARTH.
I'VE LEARNED SO MUCH.
LIKE, I LEARNED ABOUT PIZZA.
CHECK THIS OUT. HEH-HEH.

The alien points a toy gun to the camera.

A clip shows Lucas and Laura pounding dough with one hand.

Lucas says I'M LOOKING GOOD.

Laura says OKAY.

Lucas says OKAY.

Laura says YOU KNOW WHAT? OH.
OH, CHEESE.

Lucas says YOU GOT TO CUT
THE CHEESE.

Laura says I ACTUALLY THINK
I HAVE A SHOT
AT YOU FOR
THIS ONE.

Lucas says OH, YOU DO, EH?

Laura says LET'S SEE
IF THIS WORKS
THE WAY I WANTED IT TO.
OH, IT'S WORKING!

A timer runs. It reads "39."

Lucas says HEY.
ALWAYS BE SAFE.

Laura says IT'S WORKING.

Lucas says REALLY? OKAY.
THEN, I HAVE TO TRY IT.

Laura says NO.

Lucas says OKAY.

Laura says THAT'S ENOUGH CHEESE.

Lucas says OKAY.

Laura says NOW, FOR THAT...

Lucas says OKAY. I'M JUST GOING TO
CRUMBLE CHEESE LIKE THIS.

Laura says LET'S GET THE SAUCE
ON HERE.

They use only one hand to make a pizza.

Lucas laughs and says YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO PUT THE SAUCE ON FIRST.

Laura says I DID PUT THE SAUCE ON FIRST.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

Lucas says WHY DID YOU GRATE
THE CHEESE? AH! OKAY, OKAY.

Laura says AND THICK I HAVE A PERFECT
AMOUNT OF CHEESE RIGHT NOW.

Lucas says MINE IS LOOKING GOOD.

Laura says OKAY. THAT'S...
YOU KNOW WHAT?

The clip ends.

The Teen Alien says AND I LOVE PIZZA
AND I TRIED COOKING,
BUT YOU CAN'T LEARN
ABOUT COOKING
WITHOUT LEARNING ABOUT
FIRE SAFETY.
SO, I LEARNED ABOUT FIRE SAFETY
FROM THE FIRE SAFETY FAIRY.
LIKE, CHECK IT OUT.
SO COOL. SO LIT.

A clip plays.

A Fire Safety Fairy sits on a box. She wears wings and a pink tutu. She holds a star wand.

The Fire Safety Fairy says THE REASON WE NEED SMOKE ALARMS
IS THAT
IF THERE IS A FIRE AT NIGHT
WHEN YOU'RE SLEEPING,
YOUR NOSE GOES TO SLEEP,
AND A SMOKE ALARM
WORKS JUST LIKE YOUR NOSE.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE A SMOKE ALARM
AND YOUR NOSE IS SLEEPING,
THAT SMOKE WILL JUST
QUIETLY COME INTO YOUR ROOM
AND COVER YOU UP LIKE
A BIG, THICK, BLACK BLANKET.
BUT IF YOU HAVE A SMOKE ALARM
ON THE CEILING AND IT'S WORKING,
IT WILL RING AND LET YOU KNOW
WHEN THE FIRE
IS STILL VERY SMALL
SO THAT
YOU CAN GET OUTSIDE.

Greg says AH. SEE? THERE YOU GO, DEREK.
WHEN YOU'RE ASLEEP, YOUR NOSE IS
ASLEEP, SO YOU CAN'T SENSE...
(fire alarm ringing)...SMOKE.
UH, WHAT'S THAT?

The Fire Safety Fairy says THAT'S A FIRE ALARM.
I GOT TO GO.

Greg says OH, OKAY. THANKS FOR BEING HERE.
BYE.
WHOA.

The clip ends.

Laura says WHY...

The Teen Alien says YEAH.
THAT'S WHAT I LEARNED.

Laura says OKAY. WELL, UM,
I'M GOING TO...
I HAVE TO TELL SOMEONE
ABOUT YOU.
GOOD-- BYE!

The Teen Alien says OH.

Laura says I GOT TO CALL LUCAS.
HOLD ON.

The Teen Alien says OH, OKAY. "BYE."
RUDE.

Laura says OKAY. CALLING LUCAS.
(phone buttons beeping)
OKAY.
OKAY.
She yells UH, LUCAS?

Lucas appears talking on the phone. He wears a red TVO Kids T-shirt and a cap.

Laura says LUCAS, NO, NO. HI.

Lucas says OKAY. BYE, GREG.
I'LL TALK TO YOU LATER.
HEY, LAURA.
WHAT'S UP?

Laura says HI. OKAY.
UH, THERE WAS AN ALIEN,
AND THE ALIEN SAID THAT
IT KNOWS ABOUT...
IT WATCHES OUR SHOW!
IT WATCHES OUR SHOW
ON YOUTUBE,
AND IT WAS TELLING ME
ABOUT THE LIFE ON EARTH,
AND IT KNOWS ABOUT
THE LIFE
ON THE PLANET EARTH.
AND PIZZA! IT WAS
WATCHING US MAKE PIZZA,
AND THEN IT WAS
TALKING ABOUT, UH, A FIRE.
UH, FIRE SAFETY,
AND THERE WAS A FAIRY.
BUT IT WAS MOSTLY
AN ALIEN,
AND IT WAS JUST GOING,
AND AROUND.

Lucas looks confused.
