* Perhaps inevitably, ''Series/TopGear'' have filmed an episode in Website/{{Fenspace}}. ([[http://archiveofourown.org/works/1032214/ Link.]]) Other highlights include a RippedFromTheHeadlines ''Series/{{CSI}}'' episode featuring the Fen (which is about as well-researched as the UsefulNotes/FurryFandom one) and a handwavium-induced BalefulPolymorph storyline in ''Series/OneLifeToLive'', which got a certain amount of flack for not casting an actual CatGirl but was otherwise considered rather tasteful and well-researched.

This carries over to the in-show universes. How do you show President Bartlet's actions are getting a lot of press? Get Jay Leno to guest star on ''Series/TheWestWing'' and do a ShowWithinAShow mention of it. For slightly older shows or movies, Larry King may be substituted. Even older ones used Johnny Carson, and further back you'd get Jack Paar or even Milton Berle.

** "Bart Gets Famous" has Conan O'Brien inviting Bart as a guest on his talk show after he becomes Krusty's new sidekick. Considering Conan has written more than a few episodes of ''TheSimpsons'', it's appropriate.

** Conan O'Brien appears in "Bart Gets Famous". Considering Conan has written more than a few episodes of ''TheSimpsons'', it's appropriate.

* ''WesternAnimation/SharkTale'' features Katie Couric as news anchor Katie [[IncrediblyLamePun Current]] - [[CatchPhrase "keeping it current!"]] - who shows up every now and then to report on Oscar's (faked) shark-slaying exploits. The version shown in the UK somewhat ruins the joke by having daytime presenter Fiona Phillips voice Current instead.

The version shown in the UK somewhat ruins the joke by having daytime presenter Fiona Phillips voice Current instead.

-->'''Leno''': "And you've heard about this guy? Well, he's sort of a guy. And he's reportedly a surrogate mother for an alien, hillbilly, robot, engineer, cow baby. (''audience politely laughs'') Music/MichaelJackson already has an order in for three of them! (''Kevin Eubanks laughs'') Part cow, part engineer...now do you think it'll spend a lot of the nights [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar surfing the internet and milking itself?]]"

Sure, bloggers have blogged about it, the [[SpinningNewspaper dead-tree media have gone on and on]], the local TV news has flogged it to death, but it is not really news until Creator/JayLeno, Creator/ConanOBrien, [[Series/TheColbertReport Stephen Colbert]], [[Series/TheDailyShow Jon Stewart]], or Creator/JimmyFallon has taken notice.

* Creator/LarryKing is used repeatedly in ''Film/EddieAndTheCruisers II: Eddie Lives!'' for this purpose (i.e., demonstrating the newsworthiness of the events in the film).

** Creator/RussellTDavies ''loved'' this. In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E4AliensOfLondon "Aliens of London"]], the Doctor flips through channels and, in addition to the {{Newsreader Cameo}}s sees Matt Baker on ''Series/BluePeter'' making a cake shaped like the alien ship. In "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E12ArmyOfGhosts Army of Ghosts]]", we have the "ghosts" somehow written into the plot of ''Series/EastEnders'', and Derek Acorah off ''Series/MostHaunted'' complaining that he's obsolete.

** In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E4ThePowerOfThree "The Power of Three"]], Alan Sugar from the British version of ''Main/TheApprentice'' challenges his interns to sell as many of the mysterious black boxes as they can.

* Larry King discusses the ''Film/{{Ghostbusters|1984}}'' on his radio talk show (the movie predates his hiring by CNN). Casey Kasem also appears (voice only) to discuss the Busters' exploits.

* Perhaps inevitably, ''Series/TopGear'' have filmed an episode in Website/{{Fenspace}}. ([[http://archiveofourown.org/works/1032214/ Link.]]) Other highlights include a RippedFRomTheHeadlines ''Series/CSI'' episode featuring the Fen (which is about as well-researched as the UsefulNotes/FurryFandom one) and a handwavium-induced BalefulPolymorph storyline in ''Series/OneLifeToLive'', which got a certain amount of flack for not casting an actual CatGirl but was otherwise considered rather tasteful and well-researched. [[http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?title=Television_in_Fenspace#Fenspace_in_Mundane_TV_and_Film Further reading.]]

-->'''Jon Stewart''' (''discussing J. Jonah Jameson''): "That's right ... Peter Parker took photos. Of himself. And sold them to this man who never, ever wondered why this ''one'' guy could get nearly all the photos of Spider-Man ... ''all'' the ''time.''"

* ''Series/HannahMontana'' reveals her true identity in a Tonight Show appearance in-universe, in the show's final season. Leno guests in the episode as himself.

* In the syndicated action/comedy ''Series/{{VIP}}'', Valerie Irons(Pamela Anderson) appeared on an episode of Leno as a guest, discussing her detective agency, when she received a call from one of her partners during the commercial break, tipping her off to a possible explosive device being planted on the Leno set. Irons found the bomb and managed to take it to an empty parking lot where it exploded harmlessly. Leno then quipped, "And we were going to bump you for Tony Randall!"

* ''WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien'' does one better with Will Harangue, violent right-wing mouthpiece who becomes integral to the show arc. Everything he says claims that Ben 10 is a menace and a threat to the Earth, despite proof that he's always saving it. When aliens finally take over the world en mass force in ''WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse'', [[TheQuisling He's the first to jump ship and convince the people he was right.]] This came back to bite on the ass as later episodes showd his ratings have declined.

-->'''David Letterman:''' And the number one reference I'm running into the ground is...Homer Simpson!

** Will comes up with the idea of taking pictures of "Celebrity Houses At Night" so he can compile into a book of the same name (seriously). However, an unscrupulous editor takes a photo of Jay Leno pouring coffee down a drain, claims he's actually pouring oil and polluting the environment and sells it under Will's name. Naturally, Leno sues Will for millions of dollars. You expect this whole thing to be resolved without Leno actually showing up... until Will, with his characteristic nerve, manages to trick his way into appearing on ''The Tonight Show'' to set the record straight. After he does so and tries to stay for the following guest interview, he suddenly gets [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments thrown out of the studio]] [[RunningGag in the exact same manner as Jazz is thrown out of the Banks' house]].

%%* Ditto in the film ''Film/TheBirdcage'', after the scandalous death of a senator.

* Leno appeared in the presidential fantasy movie ''File/{{Dave}}'' to remark on the president's newfound vigor. The movie has multiple montage scenes with Leno, other talk show hosts, and Washington political commentators. Oliver Stone appears on Larry King Live, spouting (correct) conspiracy theories, and Ben Stein shows up at a party held by one of the bad guys.

* ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOps2'' has [[spoiler:Chloe/Karma]] showing up on ''Series/JimmyKimmelLive'' in the ending [[spoiler:where she lives]].

* Speaking of Dick Cavett (and Tom Hanks), Dick Cavett briefly mocks the initial boring nature of the Film/{{Apollo 13}} mission. This, of course, was before "[[CatchPhrase Houston, we have a problem]]". Justified, in that the Cavett clip was archival footage that really did air just before the accident.

* Larry King as a bee version of himself in ''WesternAnimation/BeeMovie''.
* In ''Film/IronMan1'', there's a sequence with Jim Cramer in which he reacts as he always does to a falling stock on his show ''Mad Money''... except that said stock is that of Stark Industries after Tony declares the end of his munitions manufacturing.
** ''Film/IronMan2'' repeats the trope, this time with Christiane Amanpour reporting about the aftermath of the battle between Iron Man and Whiplash at Monaco and Bill O'Reilly criticizing Tony for making Pepper CEO of Stark Industries.
** ''Film/IronMan3'' does it again, this time featuring Bill Maher and Joan Rivers reacting to the unveiling of Jim Rhodes' new "Iron Patriot" identity. Deleted scenes features a look at these as if they were segments of the ''Real Time'' and ''Fashion Police'' proper.
* Jimmy Kimmel joking about Hellboy in ''Film/HellboyIITheGoldenArmy''.
* Used as a CreditsGag in ''Film/TheAstronautFarmer''.
* The Creator/RobinWilliams film ''Man of the Year'' features his presidential character being a special guest on ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'', featuring then-Weekend Update anchors Creator/TinaFey and Amy Poehler. Amusingly enough, the movie was filmed during Fey's last season on ''[=SNL=]'' and released two days after ''Series/ThirtyRock'' started, so the movie was actually dated even before it came out. [[NewsMonopoly Just to keep it in-house]], MSNBC anchor and politics junkie Chris Matthews was also in the film, revealing election returns.
* Leno (again) appeared in ''Film/InAndOut'' to joke about the main character.

* At the end of ''Film/TheLongKissGoodnight'', one protagonist pulls some strings to get the other an interview on ''Larry King Live''.
* In the ''Film/LandOfTheLost'' movie, Marshall has a disastrous interview with ''The Today Show'''s Matt Lauer.
* In ''Film/WhatAboutBob'', Dr. Leo Marvin does a live interview on ''Good Morning America'', which Bob ends up crashing.
* Larry King briefly discusses the fictional president's accomplishments in ''Film/IndependenceDay'', and the President's decision to remain in the White House after the arrival of the AlienInvaders becomes a topic on ''Series/TheMcLaughlinGroup''. (The first daughter also mentions she was allowed to watch Letterman, but that's more of a ShoutOut).
* Craig Ferguson appears in ''Film/KickAss'' to discuss the titular hero's arrival on the superhero scene.
* Ed of ''Film/EDtv'' did an appearance on Jay Leno's ''Tonight Show'' because his 24/7 reality show was such a success.
* ''[[Film/WaynesWorld Wayne's World 2]]'': The beginning of the movie shows that Cassandra's musical career is beginning to take off big-time by having her be the musical guest on an episode of ''The Tonight Show''.
* ''Film/{{Watchmen}}'' features ''Series/TheMcLaughlinGroup'' (though portrayed by actors) doing a discussion of Dr. Manhattan.

* In ''Film/OhGod'', Jerry doesn't get a lot of attention for his claims of talking to God until after he appears on the Dinah Shore Show.
* In ''Film/TheAdjustmentBureau'', the main character (a Congressman running for Senate) appears on Series/TheDailyShow.
* ''Film/BattleLosAngeles'' has major news coverage of the invasion by CNN, MSNBC, Fox and several other news outlets. This, in addition to characters talking on Skype, assaure us that the movie takes place in our universe.
* A whole ''montage'' of them in ''The Great Buck Howard''. A subversion occurs as well when the title character is set to appear on Leno but is bumped for time.

* At the end of ''Film/ProjectX'', Jimmy Kimmel is talking about the big party on his show, along with several real-life LA-area [=DJs=].
* ''Film/LittleNicky'' features Regis Philbin bragging about beating an old woman on the street due to the influence of Cassius and Adrien.
* ''Film/BookOfShadowsBlairWitch2'' has kind of an unusual example. In the universe of the film, ''Film/TheBlairWitchProject'' still exists as a movie, but unlike in real life, there's apparently no conclusive evidence as to whether it was a [[FoundFootageFilms found footage film]] or a real documentary. To establish this, the opening has a montage of real life (if somewhat out-of-context) clips of the first movie being mentioned by Kurt Loder on MTV News and Creator/ConanOBrien on ''Series/LateNight'', as well as being reviewed by Series/SiskelAndEbert.
* Creator/ConanOBrien appears as himself hosting his show in ''Film/NowYouSeeMe'', interviewing Arthur Tressler (Creator/MichaelCaine) via Skype.
* Conan also appears in ''Film/VanillaSky'' briefly, although doesn't interact with any of the main characters or talks about them (they're just watching him on TV). [[spoiler: He ends up giving something of a ChekhovsLecture since his guest explains the chryonic-freezing process Tom Cruise's character would end up using]].
* In ''Film/{{Mister 3000}}'', Jay Leno and ESPN's Stuart Scott are both seen discussing news items pertaining to Stan Ross' attempt to resume his major league baseball career on their respective shows. Later in the movie, after Ross successfully got back to the major leagues, he appears as a guest on Leno's show.
* A variation appears in ''Film/JurassicWorld'', when ''Tonight Show'' host Jimmy Fallon plays himself, giving safety instructions for Jurassic World's gyrospheres.
* In ''Film/PrimaryColors'', the Bill Clinton {{expy}} Jack Stanton is running for President when he gets embroiled in a scandal involving his wife's hairdresser Cashmere [=McLeod=] (based on the real-life allegations from Gennifer Flowers). We then see Bill Maher on ''Politically Incorrect'' starting his show by making every hairdressing-related sex pun he can think of.
* During the opening montage of ''Film/PacificRim'', when Raleigh was talking about how Jaeger pilots were basically rock stars, this is evidenced by showing a pair of pilots appearing on a late-night talk show.
* Happens with several major news personalities in ''{{Film/Dave}}'', including Jay Leno, Larry King, and Series/TheMcLaughlinGroup, among many others.
* Played with in ''Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet3DreamWarriors'', when Jennifer struggles to stay awake by watching late-night television. She sees Dick Cavett interview Zsa Zsa Gabor, then abruptly transform into Freddy and attack her. It's unclear precisely when Jennifer dozes off, so whether the show was an actual broadcast she'd fallen asleep in the middle of, or a dream from the start, is equally unclear.
* When ''Film/{{Ted}}'' came to life, he became a media star for a while, even appearing on ''The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson''.
-->'''Johnny''': I thought you would be taller.
-->'''Ted''': [[TakeThat I thought you would be funnier!]]
* ''Film/TheMartian'': It's in the DVDBonusContent rather than the film proper, but the cameo by UsefulNotes/NeilDeGrasseTyson is strongly implied to be a tie-in with ''Series/CosmosASpacetimeOdyssey'' in-universe. A sort of print-media version of this trope is also used when Bruce Ng and a couple of Chinese rocket engineers appear on the cover of ''Magazine/{{TIME}}''.

[[folder: Live Action TV ]]

* Leno again, in the ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'' episode "The Shower Head".
* ''Series/LadyDynamite'': Seth Meyers and James Corden joke about Maria's child militia scandal on their respective shows.
* In ''Series/{{Joey}}'' the titular character realizes he's made it when he gets the chance to appear on Leno. Hijinks ensue, but he gets there in the end. And calls Jay "Johnny".

* The ''Series/{{Wings}}'' episode "The Team Player" involves Antonio, manning the Sandpiper ticket counter while Joe and Brian are attending a hockey game, refusing to let a star Boston Bruins player on the plane when he shows up right before takeoff. The Bruins lose the game and a public relations disaster ensues, capped off by the characters seeing Leno make a joke about the incident on ''The Tonight Show''.

-->'''Maher''': "Nobody knows what to make of this guy, Greg Montgomery. On the one hand, he was caught having sex, so we know he's not a Republican. But it was with his ''wife'', so we know he's not a Democrat!"
* An interesting variation happened in an episode of ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir'':
** Will comes up with the idea of taking pictures of "Celebrity Houses At Night" so he can compile into a book of the same name (seriously). However, an unscrupulous editor takes a photo of Jay Leno pouring coffee down a drain, claims he's actually pouring oil and polluting the environment and sells it under Will's name. Naturally, Leno sues Will for millions of dollars. You expect this whole thing to be resolved without Leno actually showing up... until Will, with his characteristic nerve, manages to trick his way into appearing on ''The Tonight Show'' to set the record straight. After he does so and tries to stay for the following guest interview, he suddenly gets [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments thrown out of the studio]] [[RunningGag in the exact same manner as Jazz is thrown out of the Banks' house]].
** Leno appears again in the next season, after Hilary books a juror that Philip dismissed to appear on her talk show -- who promptly went on a tirade about him on the air -- to poke fun at the situation.

** Episode "The Stolen Earth", Paul O'Grady made a brief appearance, making bad jokes about the situation (though this may have been a very deliberate attempt to reduce panic rather than him acting of his own accord).

** In "The Wedding of River Song", Bill Turnbull and Sian Williams interview Charles Dickens, who is discussing his new story idea about [[Literature/AChristmasCarol ghosts, and the past, present and future]].
** In "The Power of Three", Alan Sugar from the British version of ''Main/TheApprentice'' challenges his interns to sell as many of the mysterious black boxes as they can.

* There's an episode of ''Series/{{Shark}}'' where a SerialKiller who escapes justice publishes an [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything OJ-esque]] book about how he successfully defended himself against James Woods' prosecuting attorney character. The killer appears on ''Larry King Live'' to hype his book. Larry is portrayed fairly well, as he happens to be a friend of Woods' character, and he accuses his guest, pointblank, of being a SerialKiller.

* ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'' featured Jim Cramer upgrading the Bluth company stock to "Don't Buy". Season 4 not only uses Cramer on ''Mad Money'' to demonstrate the media buzz for "[=FakeBlock=]", but then shows him playing himself in-universe in Maeby's ShowWithinAShow horror movie ''Gangie 4''.

* ''Series/HouseOfCardsUS'' season 3 opened with President Frank Underwood's chief of staff Doug Stamper watching him appearing on Series/TheColbertReport. Due to the Netflix series' long production time, the episode was released three months after Colbert's show ended.

** Referenced again in the seventh-season episode "Welcome to Wherever You Are." Part of the episode deals with Congressman (and presidential cadidate) Matt Santos' upcoming appearance on ''The Tonight Show'' and his staff trying to avoid making the congressman look either silly or hackneyed on the show.
* The NBC soap opera ''Series/{{Passions}}'' featured a dream sequence in which Jay Leno mocks socialite Gwen Hotchkiss' crumbling love life in his monologue. Leno was a big fan of the show while it was on the air.
* ''Series/{{JAG}}'':
** Back when the show aired on Creator/{{NBC}}, [[LenoDevice Jay Leno]] comments on the events in the PilotMovie in his monologue on ''Series/TheTonightShow''.
-->''This just in, one of the Navy F-14 Tomcats shot down a couple of Serbian [=MIGs=] over Bosnia this afternoon. Listen to this, the radar intercept officer in the Tomcat was a woman! Boy, you thought getting shot down by a woman in a bar was bad! Oh my God!''
-->''Another thing about that female aviator, now, this has got to be very embarrassing, to UsefulNotes/BillClinton and UsefulNotes/DanQuayle, Now women their daughters' age have more combat experience than they do.''
** Later when it moved to Creator/{{CBS}}, in "JAG TV", Mac lands a publicly televized case which all of a sudden receives national attention. On a segment of ''Series/TheLateLateShow'' the then-host Craig Kilborn has this to say about Mac:
-->''Now, officially, she's a colonel in the Marines. But to me, she's a [[MsFanservice major babe]]''.
-->(Kilborn holds up picture of Mac in a bikini.)
-->''I think we now know why the Marines are first on the beach''.
* ''Series/ThirtyRock'':
** Featured Tracy appearing on ''Series/LateNight With Conan O'Brien'' in order to hype his addition to the cast of ShowWithinAShow ''The Girlie Show''. However, it is strongly implied that the event is not considered noteworthy at all -- the Tracy character is a washed-up movie star, and ''The Girlie Show'' is unpopular. Instead, the appearance is the result of (in-universe) ExecutiveMeddling by Jack, who wants ''Late Night'' to promote a [[BitingTheHandHumor low-rated NBC show]]. This has since become a regular habit of Jack, as he frequently meddles with NBC's ''The Today Show'' to make them promote whomever, or whatever, he wants.
** Two seasons later, Tracy appears on LarryKingLive during the stock market crash and incites citywide panic while discussing places to hide money.
* ''Series/{{Caprica}}'' does this despite being set [[ALongTimeAgoInAGalaxyFarFarAway a long time ago in a star system far away]] through the clever use of [[{{Expy}} Expies]]. Baxter Sarno (played by Creator/PattonOswalt) is made out to be a cross between [[Series/TheTonightShow Jay Leno]] and [[Series/TheDailyShow Jon Stewart]]. He combines the former's comedy format with the latter's cutting insight, tendency to [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass bring down]] [[BewareTheSillyOnes Very Powerful People]]. He is mentioned as "tearing a new one" out of the Caprican Minister of Commerce. The target demographic is also similar: "[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything a majority of college students get most of their news from Sarno]]".\\
\\
There's also a number of TV-montages which frequently feature "clips" of Sarno. In the clips Expies of CNBC and Creator/{{CNN}} are featured prominently, usually commenting on Graystone Industries' latest woes.
* In the syndicated action/comedy ''Series/{{VIP}}'', Valerie Irons(Pamela Anderson) appeared on an episode of Leno as a guest, discussing her detective agency, when she received a call from one of her partners during the commercial break, tipping her off to a possible explosive device being planted on the Leno set. Irons found the bomb and managed to take it to an empty parking lot where it exploded harmlessly. Leno then quipped, "And we were going to bump you for Tony Randall!"
* Retired News Anchor/Commentator Howard K. Smith appeared as himself in both the Miniseries and Weekly versions of the original ''Series/{{V 1983}}'', giving update reports on the aliens actions.
* ''Series/HannahMontana'' reveals her true identity in a Tonight Show appearance in-universe, in the show's final season. Leno guests in the episode as himself.
* After Robin [[spoiler: lands a helicopter when the pilot has a heart attack]] in season 7 of ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'', she becomes a local celebrity and even appears on David Letterman's show.
* [[InvertedTrope Inverted]], when the animated WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead made a guest appearance on ''Series/TheLateShow with David Letterman'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYqB0m4XYRQ (seen here)]].

[[folder: Video Games ]]

* ''VideoGame/Prey2006'' features Art Bell on his ''Radio/CoastToCoastAM'' radio program discussing the events of the game with various callers.

[[folder: Web Original ]]

* Obligatory Literature/WhateleyUniverse example: In "Ayla and the Birthday Brawl", the big [=IPO=] that Phase has started by buying out ''Marvel Comics'' gets news coverage... including a joke about it by Dennis Miller while appearing on Bill Maher's show.

[[folder: Western Animation ]]

* During the animated cartoon ''WesternAnimation/{{Dilbert}}'', Jay makes a joke at Dilbert's situation.
-->'''Leno''': "And you've heard about this guy? Well, he's sort of a guy. And he's reportedly a surrogate mother for an alien, hillbilly, robot, engineer, cow baby. (''audience politely laughs'') Music/MichaelJackson already has an order in for three of them! (''Kevin Eubanks laughs'') Part cow, part engineer...now do you think it'll spend a lot of the nights [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar surfing the internet and milking itself?]]"
* Parodied on ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': One of the characters mentions that Brian's recent "affair" with [[Series/TheHills Lauren Conrad]] has been on all the talk shows, followed by live-action clips of Jimmy Fallon, Craig Ferguson and Jay Leno joking about it.
* In ''WesternAnimation/BroTown'', a New Zealand animated comedy, the role of Jay Leno is taken by Creator/RoveMcManus who is the Australian equivalent.
* A ''WesternAnimation/MissionHill'' episode featured several talk shows discussing the inscrutable crisis that is in the background of the plot.
* The DVD movie ''WesternAnimation/SupermanBatmanPublicEnemies'' featured a [[Series/TheDailyShow Jon Stewart]] {{Expy}} commenting on Lex Luthor's presidential bid in the opening minutes.

* ''WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien'' does one better with Will Harangue, violent right-wing mouthpiece who becomes integral to the show arc. Everything he says claims that Ben 10 is a menace and a threat to the Earth, despite proof that he's always saving it. When aliens finally take over the world en mass force in ''WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse'', [[TheQuisling He's the first to jump ship and convince the people he was right.]] This came back to bite on the ass as later episodes showd his ratings have declined.
* For some unfathomable reason, the pilot episode of the 2014 ''WesternAnimation/DangerMouse'' series features Baron Greenback, now [[VillainWithGoodPublicity allegedly reformed]], being interviewed by [[PunnyName Jimmy Camel]], which doesn't even make a good ParentalBonus in its country of origin because most English people have never even heard of ''Series/JimmyKimmelLive''.
* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' has the characters being interviewed by a ''[[RogerRabbitEffect live-action]]'' Larry King in between the TwoShorts.
