A Thursday Prompt story

Prompt: chancellor
“And we’re back in three . . . two . . . one,” the director said in his booth, and the red light came on over the television camera’s lens.
The middle-aged, slightly jowly gray feline looked up from his notes to gaze at the camera lens. “In business news today, leaders of the major Hollywood studios met for marathon talks with representatives of the Federation of Eldritch Horrors in a last-ditch effort to avert a possible strike by FEH. The urgency of the talks was made clear when a member of FEH’s rank and file devoured the Federal arbiter.”
“The head of one of the largest universities in the Midwest has announced that the college is phasing out its literature and mathematics curricula in order to free up more funds for the football program.”
“The chief executive of the United Kingdom’s treasury resigned today after admitting before a Parliamentary enquiry that the nation’s entire finances amounted to less than Luxembourg’s.” The feline glanced to his right, where another piece of paper had been placed.
“And this just in, the head of the West German government is refusing to resign, reportedly after telling the magazine Der Spiegel that he and the feral Doberman were very much in love, and what was the harm in a sauna bath.”
The feline looked up at the camera again and said, “And that’s the news, brought to you by NBC. Good night.” He held the look at the camera for several seconds until the red light blinked off and he sat back in his seat.
“You did great, John,” the director called out.
“Thanks,” the feline newsreader said.
