The Stupids1996

Glamorous Actress:
Some people think it's easy being a celebrity, but when they canceled my series "Malibu Beach Detective", I was just absolutely devastated. [the "Applause" sign comes on and the audience applauds]

Late Night Show Host:
Well, I'm sure everyone is very sympathetic for you. You've put so much work into such a fine series to have it taken off the air.

Glamorous Actress:
As an artist, I was truly crushed. [the "Applause" sign comes on again and the audience applauds] It was the most awful, shocking, heartbreaking thing that's ever happened to me! [backstage, Petunia is unkowingly flipping the switch that turns the "Applause" sign on and off]

Petunia Stupid:
Mom, I can't get this light switch to work.

Joan Stupid:
Just a moment dear. [she writes "Give it to the fat guy" on a blank cue card] Now, let's take a look. [she fiddles with the switch and the sign comes on, with audience applauding]

Glamorous Actress:
Well, maybe you'd all be happier if there was no primetime television. [Joan fiddles with the switch some more; the audience keeps applauding]

TV Director:
What's going on?

Glamorous Actress:
You could spend every night reading books together. [Joan flips the switch; the audience applauds; the Glamourous Actress leaves]

Late Night Show Host:
Well, my next guest is a world-class French chef, so stay tuned, everyone, and let's... [reads from cue card which is actually a reminder note from Joan Stupid] Give it to the fat guy!

French Chef:
Fat? Fat? Moi, fat? [yells in French] [he starts shaking the host around while Joan flips the switch one last time and the audience applauds]
