Oh c'mon.
I'm watching this thing on Internet Archive and "similar items based on metadata --Play All" brings up Black Adder and Red Dwarf. Not even damn close.
This sounds very much like how the Associated Grocers started out with the AG brand & affiliate stores here in the States.
Speaking of #StephenColbert , that was the rabbithole I went down right after emerging from the #JimVarney #ErnestPWorrell rabbithole.
I posted months earlier that with all the repeats on #HBO of the #LordOfTheRings franchise movies, that I had caught up on all of them--well, TIL that Colbert was in #TheDesolationOfSmaug ...and that's not all. It appears his family were ALL Laketown Spies, not just him (his wife is credited as Evelyn McGee). Then I encountered a #HollywoodReporter article about what Colbert might do next, and they missed the HBO option completely.
No, not as a movie actor but as competition for #BillMaher who could do with Colbert-level competition. The article cited #ConanOBrien who was doing a travel log sort of thing for HBO, so yeah--I can picture Colbert on HBO. The Hollywood Reporter completely missed THAT boat.

I'm an old cowhand
On the Rio Grande
But my legs ain't bowed
And my cheeks ain't tanned
I ride a stick horse all the live long day
He is mighty fine cuz he don't eat hay
I'm just a Jolly Rancher and I like it that way
Yippee yiy yo kay ay.

The title sounds suspiciously like The Turtles' tune "You Know What I Mean".
Oh I know--different song, but still..
"Shouldn't we two be together?
You know what I mean....
To be with you is something like a dream--
You know what I mean.
And if you want me to,
I'll bring sunshine to you only.
You better stop, take a look,
But, you know what I mean...."
@Chuck Darwin
The posting doesn't mention the pre-James Corden stint with #CraigFerguson so I'm going to, as it was well worth staying up for, and honorably mention Craig's version of Ed McMahon, Geoff Peterson.
It's hard to stay up, it's been a long long day
And the sandman's at your door
But hang on, leave the TV on
And lets do it anyway
It’s okay, you can always sleep through work tomorrow
Okay--hey, hey
Tomorrows just your future yesterday

It's a wonderful rabbit hole to go down, to be sure. There are other technical A-listers to be found, like the guy listed as "consultant". The name "John Howard" is none other than THE John C. Howard who invented the "Spectarama" visual special effects representing what was seen in the eyeball of the man in question.
Turns out Les Baxter got drawn in to a number of different horror/B movies simply because he became a thereminist under the tutelage of the premier theremin expert of the era, Dr. Samuel J. Hoffman AND was maestro on THE Moog synthesizer.
This movie was cutting edge at the time--no small potatoes, that.

How To Deceive The Rural Base Without Really Trying:
Item on Facebook Marketplace, rural Enid Oklahoma, which is highly likely mostly connected by Starlink, given that it's available off-the-shelf in Walmart.
Alt = screenshot of a Starlink terminal posted at Facebook Marketplace for sale for $300. The posted explanation was that this was needed in the rural area but the owner moved to where it's no longer needed.

(I could watch this segment all day and every day all week, volume cranked up.)
So--"Distant Cousins" did the music. I gotta say that they're a great knock-off band,
laying out the styles of the popular music at the time, from Billy Vaughn's "Wheels" style guitar work at the beginning, British Invasion style, Frank Sinatra, Johnny Rivers style...man, they're talented that way. Not as agile as The Roots but damn close.
Oh yeah--I did do a bingo card, got a bingo quite some time ago--but I have to say that when I marked "radio broadcast" it was in reference to a sound effect they used as precursor to theramin: it was RADIOTELETYPE. Yessirree, this movie was a nerd's delight!

This one's not easy to Alt because it's a long list of Trump's failures. The header reads: " Trump: I'm 'really smart' and 'a very stable genius'.
This one's easy to Alt. Image of a smirking Trump decked out in a khaki jacket with sewn patches on it, one of which is Space Force's. Text = FULL METAL JACKASS
This one's a Google Plus classic, and easier to Alt.
It's a pic of Hillary Clinton talking laughingly to Obama and Obama is seated, doubled over in laughter. Text + IF TRUMP GOES TO PRISON, IT WOULD BE HIS FIRST COMPLETE SENTENCE!
Some of these images are too complex to render well with alt text, sorry to say, and I've found Altbot to miss the mark too many times. Please forgive me.
