 George Newmans (Weird Al Yankovic) ad for his show "Town Talk",  where the show becomes more advanced with more controversial guests,  was primarily a parody of Geraldo Rivera (qv)s now defunct talk  show. Long before Jerry Springer (qv)s show, Geraldos guests  would frequently get into fights, which at one point resulted in  Geraldo breaking his nose as evident from the bandage George wears  over his nose at the end of the commercial.
