* On December 1, 1976, the notorious broadcast of Thames Television's ''Today'' show aired in the London region, featuring Siouxsie Sioux and members of Music/SexPistols. During what was apparently thought to be pre-show banter, host Bill Grundy, apparently drunk, made a rather explicit pass at Sioux. The resulting wordplay, which included guitarist Steve Jones [[PrecisionFStrike swearing at Grundy]], resulted in the famous "The Filth and the Fury!" headline in ''The Daily Mirror'', and effectively ended Grundy's career.

A related trope to KentBrockmanNews (or ImmoralJournalist) and HatesTheJobLovesTheLimelight, this is the game show or sport event counterpart. You know the type, [[SmugSnake preening]], [[{{Narcissist}} narcissistic]], slicked hair and an [[{{Slimeball}} equally slick personality]]. He will crack lots of jokes of the WittyBanter type, but you always suspect he's really a JerkAss, and you're often proved correct in that assumption.

* Subverted with Corny Collins in ''Film/{{Hairspray}}''. He has the hair for it and is somewhat self-absorbed, but he is wholly redeemed by the fact that he's not a racist and, in fact, is very open to racial desegregation. In the end, he openly defies the villain role and generally functions as a ReasonableAuthorityFigure.
