The Kim Jong-il Show
This was a talk show hosted by North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il (Bobby Lee). Whenever an audience member does not laugh at a joke he says he would have them shot, and it appears serious as the dictator has soldiers posted on the show. Apparently, it is a mandatory show on state television, with political prisoners being made to play drums for background effect as well as censorship, which included blurring out of censored items and cutting to clips of kittens frolicking, often when the dictator decreed something was "too sexy".
Guests on the show have included Renée Zellweger (Nicole Parker), JC Chasez (himself), and Donald Trump (Frank Caliendo).

Famous quotes containing the word show:
“Myths, as compared with folk tales, are usually in a special category of seriousness: they are believed to have “really happened,” or to have some exceptional significance in explaining certain features of life, such as ritual. Again, whereas folk tales simply interchange motifs and develop variants, myths show an odd tendency to stick together and build up bigger structures. We have creation myths, fall and flood myths, metamorphose and dying-god myths.”
—Northrop Frye (1912–1991)
