The Show
The entire proceedings serve as a parody of trash TV specials, and at one point, Jesse turns on the TV, only to find outlandish shows such as "World's Goriest Autopsies", among others, all hosted by once-popular TV stars, such as Adrian Zmed (Off. Vince Romano from T.J. Hooker) and Robert Ito (Sam Fujiwara from Quincy, M.E.).
