A sub-division of the [[Show Within a Show]], the [['''Two for One Show]]''' effectively gives the viewer... well, two shows for the price of one. That is, the show is relatively evenly split between a fictional [[Show Within a Show]] and the "real life" stories of the main cast. Such series are typically set in the television media, allowing for "behind the scenes" action to be intercut with the fictional show.
 
This is different from other shows-within-shows in that the show-within-a-show is also treated as "real" entertainment and broadcast as such, so that anyone turning on in the middle of that segment might think that it's a genuine talk show/panel series/light entertainment show etc. This rules out the talk radio sequences in ''[[Frasier]]'', for example, since the viewer is aware that he is looking through a camera that should not actually be in Frasier's studio.
