* {{Expy}}: "Weekend Live" is clearly Saturday Night Live, its aloof and ruthless boss is clearly supposed to be a version of Lorne Michaels. The central improv group is partly based on the Upright Citizens Brigade (except in real life most of the original UCB had fairly enviable comedy careers, not just one of them).
