Studio 60 Parody

NBC is going to burn off the last six episodes of Studio 60 this summer. I really enjoyed this show for its representation of the writing process and, yes, for its portrayal of lefties trying to change the world.

But this parody is spot on. The show can be pretty pompous and self-congratulatory. Watch this video if only for Liev Shreiber's pompadour and the bit about the network's willingness to approve Celine Dion jokes ("we're at war...Americans don't want to see their celebrities mocked right now...that bitch is Canadian").
