The line is the longtime station identification for CNN, the Cable News Network, recorded by actor James Earl Jones, whose voice also defined Darth Vader. His short announcement became one of the most recognisable network signatures on American television, played between programmes and news coverage for decades. Online, the clip was shared as an instant button and soundboard staple, allowing anyone to borrow that broadcast authority for a joke. It remains popular because viewers instantly associate the phrase and voice with breaking news, even without any visuals.
