Want to See Glenn Beck’s Cameo on the Onion News Network?

For those of you who don’t know, the Onion News Network is a fake news program meant to make fun of all the ridiculous elements of the real news networks. And guess who is set to appear on it (again)? None other than Glenn Beck.

Mediaite explains the premise of Beck’s cameo:

Keeping with the previously laid continuity that Beck used to work for ONN, the new clip shows that he once auditioned for host of the fake network’s fake flagship show FactZone. This revealed in a clip from a fake documentary on the fake history of that show’s fake anchor, Brooke Alvarez, played by Suzanne Sena. The documentary explains why Alvarez is as cold and heartless as she is as her childhood involved forced Cosmonaut training and brutal monkey fights. Like I said, darker than darker.

Here’s the clip Mediaite calls “pretty damn funny:”

    I‘m not the sharpest knife in the drawer so that might explain why I don’t get, but……I don’t get it. Chimpanzee in space theen a three second clip of Beck that’s totally unrelated. What?

      After watching this my wife looked over at me and said “What the heck was that” Sadly enough I didn’t have an answer.

      Really? What’s not to get, that was pretty darned funny. I caught myself laughing out loud when the old lady was talking about “her night terrors”. Beck’s part was just a silly cameo by a known personality. Big deal.

      Maybe this was too high brow for some of you. Bring out the dancin’ lobsters!

      it was moderately funny, Glenn’s bit being the the highlight of the segment. If the show is as brilliant as the Onion Movie, but up-to-date with todays news, that would be a brillian piece of television.

      I also figured it was ‘targeted’ (the horror) at Mika. Anyway, why wouldn’t it be.

    I get all my information from the Onion. It’s the only truly reliable source of information, but once in a while even they let something past the editors and fact checkers. In this case they show a CCCP space capsule in the water. The Soviets always did their landings on solid ground.

      I’ve always liked reading the onion, although they were only current headlines when Bush was in office. Never liked their video. But, I’m more of a reading than watching type person anyway. That’s why the Blaze infuriates me too – all this video when I want text. :)

    Great, however, what I want to see is a less aggrivating website to navigate. Is it just
    me or has THE BLAZE become a sales pitch around every corner or key punch? I spend everyday introducing people to this website or at the very least inviting others to try it, but jeeze, it is becoming so harassingly insane to stay focused.
    I also find misleading headlines that make me look like a fool when I’m presenting THE BLAZE to others. This has GOT to stop if integrity is to prevail. For someone (Glenn) NOT crazy about money it seems he may be afterall. No offense but me thinks it’s a Morman trait. Please prove me wrong.

      Ten dollars you say. OK. Let’s start with the cost of getting it to you. I’ll need stamps, an envelope, banking, and of course nutrition (maybe peanut butter) to get the job done. Oh jeese, wait a minute, all that tallies to just over $10.00. Sorry my friend, it’s already gone.

      I know, I know, someone’s gonna say “that’s right!” He (Glenn) is just trying to pay the bills.
      Just the same, the site is becoming more aggravating than it is worth. And THAT is sad!

    how funny these Conservative-haters cannot wait to sign Glenn Beck up for even a cameo on their show: it’s the only way to get any of us real Americans to watch it. so much for giving them 30secs of our time here on Blaze. hope they paid Glenn well for it.
