!!Tropes:
to:
Krusty (Creator/DanCastellaneta) is not doing well on Cameo. Desperate for money, he agrees to an offer from Lindsey Naegle (Creator/TressMacNeille) to host a daytime talk show.
While shopping for pet food, Marge is asked to participate in a focus group. Lindsey Naegle likes all of Marge's ideas, and offers her a job as a segment producer on Krusty's new daytime talk show.
Krusty likes that the studio audience laugh at his jokes, and Marge likes seeing her segment ideas coming alive in the studio. But soon Marge gets wrapped up in the behind-the-scenes toxicity of the show.
