Line 121:
** The Gabbo incident was based on a rumor wherein a host of a children's show allegedly said "That ought to hold the little bastards for another week" without realizing that the camera was still rolling.
* One episode of ''[[Sushi Pack]]'' featured Sugar Jimmy, the host of a Romper Room-like kids' show. On screen he was a [[Children Are Innocent|sugary sweet nine-year-old]], but off he [[Spoiled Brat|threw tantrums about everything]], hated the chocolate bar he was hocking, and [[Dawson Casting|happened to be 22]].
* On ''[[DuckTales (1987)]]'' Huey, Dewey, and Louie idol worship Captain Courage, hero of the TV show "Courage of the Cosmos." Uncle Scrooge owns the show and has Gyro redo it to make it more realistic. The boys go on the show and are blind to the fact that their hero is just a vain, egotistical actor. They also don't realize that Gyro made their set an actual spaceship and it launches into outer space. When they realize where they are and real aliens have captured them, Courage panics, and the boys see what a coward he really is ("real heroes just do their jobs!").
* On an episode of ''[[Cyberchase]]'', Digit gets to be on his favorite show the Fearless Chef, a cross between ''[[Iron Chef]]'' and ''[[The Amazing Race]]''. The host of the show, the fearless chef, is kidnapped by Hacker. When Jackie and Inez go to rescue him they realize that the so-called Fearless Chef is really a complete coward.
* Stinky Pete the Prospector from ''[[Toy Story (franchise)
* In ''[[Kappa Mikey]]'s'' [[Show Within a Show]], ''Lilymu!'', female lead Lily is to act as a warm, caring, [[Implied Love Interest]] to our titular Mikey. When the cameras stop rolling, she goes back to being her [[Jerkass]] [[Attention Whore]] who hates the main character for stealing her thunder as Japan's most famous anime star. By the same token, Mikey Simon plays the heroic and totally competent Kappa Mikey, but is in fact a total well-meaning but inept [[Cloudcuckoolander]] who's inability to effectively meld into Japanese society drives most of the show's plot.
* Subverted in the ''[[Hey Arnold!]]'' episode "Eugene Goes Bad." Eugene is obsessed with TV superhero The Abdicator, but things go sour when he visits the set and sees the actor acting like a spoiled diva [[The Ahnold|("Where is mah ahpreecot joose?").]] After calling the guy out, Eugene decides there's no reason to be good anymore and starts to misbehave. Meanwhile, Maurice, the actor, has his own personal crisis as he can't stop feeling guilty about the incident and letting his fans down. Eventually he helps snap Eugene out of his rebellious phase.
