* The movie ''[[A Prairie Home Companion]]'' features several musical acts in the style of the radio show on which it is based, performed by the characters. In fact, the DVD version comes with videos of these performances, ''without'' the behind-the-scenes action of the rest of the movie.

** The DVD of ''[[A Mighty Wind]]'' also included a full video of the concert from the last portion of the movie, exactly as it would have been shown on public television. Considering the (unexpected, unless you like old folk songs) quality of the music, and the fact that you're basically watching the same movie from an entirely different vantage point, it's actually pretty cool.

* It was originally intended that ''[[30 Rock (TV)|Thirty Rock]]'' would do this, but this idea was abandoned when it was decided that spending a lot of time on the fictional show would eat up screen time without advancing the plot. The series now focuses almost entirely on behind-the-scenes action with sketches being shown only when they're plot-relevant.

* [[Britcom]] ''[[Annually Retentive]]'' cuts between the behind-the-scenes work on a panel show with the panel show itself, usually to undermine the chummy demeanour of its host and show how panel show contestants are fed answers and jokes ahead of time.

* A variation of this is seen in the early-to-mid seasons of ''[[Seinfeld]]'', which would intercut Jerry's stand up comedy routines with the sitcom action. Usually the routines commented on the events in the sitcom portion of the show, but occasionally characters from the sitcom portion would appear in the stand-up crowd sequences. These stand-up sequences were later demoted to bookending each episode and eventually dropped altogether.

* In ''[[I Carly]]'', the eponymous show (how's that for meta?) has at least one episode every episode. The TV viewers don't always get to see the entire episode of the web original, but it follows the trope closely.
