Okay. Here is my first idea for my proposed "Media Circus" show. The name of the fictitious "Media Circus" cable channel is CCC (Consolidated Cable Channel). There are a variety of hosts, each of whom live in dread of receiving a pink slip due to slipping ratings. There is also a couple of news anchors, Guy and Dolly, who hate each other and try to hog the camera time to the detriment of the other. Anyway, the beauty of "Media Circus" is that it would take actual news events and satirize them as they happen.

In this segment, Guy and Dolly introduce a news piece about yet another person claiming paternity of Anna Nicole Smith's daughter. When the story is introduced, we see a scene from the movie "Spartacus" where a Roman General asks the defeated slave army to turn over Spartacus so their lives can be spared. However, in the "Media Circus" version, the words, "Who is the father of Anna Nicole Smith's daughter?" is dubbed in. Kirk Douglas steps forward and, dubbed in, says, "I am the father." This is followed by slave after slave stepping up and saying (dubbed in) "I am the father." Soon the whole slave army is saying over and over again, "I AM THE FATHER!"
