"So how do you get on this internet thing, and what's actually on it?"

In 1994, that was the burning question, and the man asking it on television was Eyal Kitzis, host of the much-missed "Zombit" on Israel's Educational Television. In 2018, when Educational Television closed down, I invited the Zombit legends (Kitzis, Gal Nadivi and Sharon Teicher) to a festive and very funny reunion of semi-geeks on the 100th episode of Next (also no longer with us). Looking back, it's even funnier (in Hebrew).
