Line 10:
'''Provides examples of''':
* [[Adam Westing]] / [[As Himself]]: All the guests.
* [[Adored Byby the Network]]: The unnamed network grooms [[Jon Stewart]] to replace Larry, believing he can get the same or better ratings at a fraction of Larry's salary.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: Several are associated with the [[Show Within a Show]]:
** Larry ends each of his monologues with "No flipping!" as he mimes clicking on a remote, as a mock warning not to change the channel during the first commercial break.
Line 19:
* [[Executive Meddling]]: Apparently averted in [[Real Life]], but a constant on the [[Show Within a Show]].
* [[Flanderization]]: Over several seasons, Phil the writer became more obnoxious and less talented.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Hank previously [[The Ropers|sold a condo to Helen and Stanley Roper]] and later went on to [[Arrested Development (TV series)|sell houses to Sadam Hussain]].
* [[Ho Yay]]: Larry and David Duchovny. No, really.
* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: Artie, to Larry.
Line 25:
* Retraux: Larry's show, for the most part, mimics the style of Johnny Carson's ''[[Tonight Show]]'', even as contemporaneous late night shows moved away from Johnny's template in various ways.
* [[Single-Target Sexuality]]: Duchovny's interest in Larry.
* [[Screwed Byby the Network]]: The network sabotages Larry's show as they maneuver [[Jon Stewart]] to replace him.
* [[Show Within a Show]]: Also named ''The Larry Sanders Show''.
* [[Stalker Withwith a Crush]]: Not entirely villainous, but Duchovny's interest in Larry made Larry more than a little uncomfortable.
* [[Step Three: Profit]]: Nobody else shares Hank's vision for "Hank's Look-A-Round Café," a revolving restaurant. At street level. With no view.
{{quote| '''Hank''': Where you, and your food, go on an adventure!}}
* [[Studio Audience]]
* [[Stunt Casting]]: The producers got an awful lot of big names to appear on the show playing themselves. [[In -Universe]], this is pretty much the only reason Hank Kingsley ever gets offered outside acting gigs - e.g., a guest spot as the janitor on ''[[Caroline in The City]]'' and a voice role in Disney's ''Hercules'' movie.
* [[Ted Baxter]]: Hank.
* [[The Eponymous Show]]
