Show Within a Show Within a.......

Who are these television commentators who discuss "101 Celebrity Oops" and say, the year 1996? How are they able to judge anything a celebrity does, while they are apparantly in the same game, but not doing so well. The world appears too full of comedians. Is comedy becoming like dentistry, a flooded market?
I would like to do a show with other no name personalities making fun of the commentators who are musing about the celebrities. Maybe a version with celebrities turning the tables, or on the public in general, random people being trashed for wearing outfits that cost under 400 dollars, or going to work at the office building or grocery store. I bet the masochistic viewing audience would be sucked in, watching their own kind being ridiculed by Tom Cruise and company.
Of course the most satisfying would be to see the a-listers trash the d listers that have found careers on these shows. A simple appearance on one episode might put a glamour career at risk, agents would be adamantly against it.
Among the commentators appearing as themselves, are Doug Llewelyn, the guy who interviewed the winners and losers at the end of "the People's Court," Jimmy Pardo, a guy who was once on "Becker" the least interesting show ever created, and Bill Dwyer, who you might remember as the color commentator from "Extreme Dodgeball" or as the color commentator from "Battle Bots," still not ringing a bell? He played the role of "Toddorbert Guzinsky" in "Ski School 2." Anything?
Surely you'll remember him from "I Love the 80's 3-D," "I love the 90's,""I love the 90's part deux," "101 Best SNL Moments,"" I Love the 80's Strikes Back," and don't forget "I Love the 70's."
When a Weird Al Yankovic or a Henry Winkler makes an appearance, at least they stand out from the let's see, the Kristen Veitchs and Regan Burns of the world. Playing "the Fonz" or writing "Eat It" gives you enough clout to comment.

I wrote something about this back in the early days of the Malcontent. One of my biggest pet peeves. Sure, we all enjoy making fun of Loverboy, but when you're the lead singer of Smashmouth, who are you to badmouth anyone?
The Fonz!
This was so cool to find. Thanks for posting this, I grow up watching that show.
