On July 2, 2006, Wisconsin Public Radio cancelled "Le Show" as part of a revamp of the network's programming. On the July 16 edition of the program, Shearer claimed WPR was "displeased with the political content of the broadcast". WPR Director of Radio Phil Corriveau told the "Milwaukee Journal Sentinel" that the program's political content was a minor factor and the decision had to do with "Le Show"'s consistency: "I think he's brilliant. But I think if you listen to the show, they can be brilliant, or they can really ramble on."

In 2008, Shearer released a music CD called "Songs of the Bushmen", consisting of his satirical numbers about former President George W. Bush on "Le Show". Shearer says he criticizes both Republicans and Democrats equally, and also says that "the iron law of doing comedy about politics is you make fun of whoever is running the place" and that "everyone else is just running around talking. They are the ones who are actually doing something, changing people's lives for better or for worse. Other people the media calls 'satirists' don't work that way." Since encountering satellite news feeds when he worked on "Saturday Night Live", Shearer has been fascinated with the contents of the video that does not air.
Harry Shearer | "Le Show" and radio work
Le Show is a weekly syndicated public radio show hosted by satirist Harry Shearer. The program is a hodgepodge of satirical news commentary, music, and sketch comedy. Shearer, an impressionist known for his voice work on "The Simpsons", writes the sketches and usually performs all the voices.
Le Show | Introduction
Achatz will frequently shares original poetry. Guest singer-songwriters typically perform four tunes during the show. The show's structure evolved over time and includes several regular segments and humorous sketches. These segments are interspersed throughout the show. The main segments include: Featured person or place within the Keweenaw Peninsula; "Madame Blanc," "911 in the 906," "Time Traveler."

Exceptions are musical parodies and original songs written and performed by Shearer.
Le Show | Availability
Since 1983, Shearer has been the host of the public radio comedy/music program "Le Show". The program is a hodgepodge of satirical news commentary, music, and sketch comedy that takes aim at the "mega morons of the mighty media". It is carried on many National Public Radio and other public radio stations throughout the United States. Since the merger of SIRIUS and XM satellite radio services the program is no longer available on either. The show has also been made available as a podcast on iTunes and by WWNO. On the weekly program Shearer alternates between DJing, reading and commenting on the news of the day after the manner of Mort Sahl, and performing original (mostly political) comedy sketches and songs.
Harry Shearer | "Le Show" and radio work
While much of the show is directed toward radio comedy, a portion is usually devoted to some more sentimental and sometimes dark stories put together by Keillor and others. The program occasionally also features political satire. At the beginning of the June 5, 2004, show (broadcast from Meadowbrook Musical Arts Center in Gilford, New Hampshire), Keillor announced that former U.S. President Ronald Reagan had died. A member of the audience hooted and cheered loudly, but Keillor, a staunch Democrat, gave the Republican Reagan a warm tribute in the form of a gospel song. Similarly, in a 2002 show airing the weekend after the death of Senator Paul Wellstone, Keillor changed the format of the show, starting it off with Wellstone's favorite segment, Guy Noir, skipping even the show's theme song.

Along with the Whad'Ya Know Quiz, music from the Whad'Ya Know Trio (often new arrangements or original compositions), and interviews with both celebrities and audience members, other segments have become recurring staples to the show's format.
Whad'Ya Know? | Segments
The last segment of the show runs 17-and-a-half minutes. Frequently, topics chosen for this segment are more arts-centered than A or B segments, though the staff occasionally chooses to examine an off-beat or unusual topic during this timeslot. Some examples include:
The State of Things (radio show) | Segment C
Shearer will interview someone in-studio or via telephone. For the phone interviews, he claims to be opening up the phone for listener calls (even though no phone number was announced) or will reveal that there is an incoming call on "the newsmaker line". These are among the few comedy segments in which voices other than Shearer's are heard. Many are voiced by writer Tom Leopold, who has worked with Shearer on several other projects. These include: Other personalities not voiced by Leopold include: On very rare occasions Shearer has announced a phone number and taken actual listener calls.
Le Show | Comedy interviews
It is also frequently recorded at or broadcast from other NPR and public stations when Shearer is on the road. After the KCRW broadcast on April 14, 2013, KCRW moved the program from broadcast to webcast only. While the show continues to air on numerous other sources, primarily public radio stations (listed at the end of each show), Shearer expressed dismay over losing his home base radio broadcast, without any notice or being allowed to say goodbye on the air. Shearer has since ended each program by stating that "Le Show" originated from the "'Change is Hard' Radio Network", referring to a press statement from KCRW announcing the show's departure from its lineup.
Le Show | History
Other episodes that aired in the first several months were devoted to Mel Brooks, Muhammad Ali, Oscar Peterson, the rocking Randy Newman, Stevie Wonder, and the history of punk rock. The show faced some criticism for a 1979 episode devoted to the comedy of Monty Python. Initially planned to centre on an exclusive preview clip from the troupe's then-forthcoming film "The Life of Brian", the CBC responded to the clip's potentially controversial religious humour first by blocking the episode from airing at all in the show's early afternoon time slot on the Radio network, permitting it to air only in the later evening Stereo timeslot; then by censoring the clip down to less than half of its original length; and finally by simply blocking the entire episode from airing on the network at all.
The Entertainers (radio program) | Introduction
The focus on the show modified to concentrate more on artist and band interviews and performances, as opposed to extended host segments. For the second season the show was given a facelift, with new graphics and theme song by The Arkells in "Pullin' Punches." Host segments were dropped entirely, and replaced with more interview and performance segments. The shows weekly news segments was enlarged to quickly round up of the week's biggest music stories. Shows generally featured six packages, five interviews and one performance, which would take place in a different, unexpected location.

The restaurant staff starts pestering him, and at the end it is later discovered that he was rehearsing before he actually talked to the woman. The fifth act in the program is a parody of child psychologists and the songs that are made specially for babies and children to help motor skills. It ends with near-impossible movements that can be practiced (the presenter ends up entangled with his own body). The sixth act in the program is a parody of family entertainment programs. It mocks the attitude of show's host when he brings on a group that plays Chamber Music (classical music) instead of the planned Tropical music band.

The program begins with its theme music, a clip from John Coltrane's "A Love Supreme." Olney then introduces the topics for the day's program, followed by a break for carrier stations to play syndicated news headlines, typically provided by NPR. In the opening segment, Olney discusses a recent or breaking news development with a guest, typically a newspaper journalist. The journalist joins Warren by phone, and the segment lasts about 10 minutes. The following segment, which occupies most of the show, features a roundtable discussion of a topic of national or international interest, including issues of politics, policy, war, and science.
To the Point | Format
"Het Leugenpaleis" aired on Studio Brussel from 1988 to 1999. Right from the start it divided listeners in two camps: you either loved it or hated it. Peeters and Matthysen's unprofessional attitude often caused them to start laughing halfway their performances or made skits go on for so long that the musical interludes had to wait. Originally radio network chief Jan Schoukens planned to fire them, but since the airings had garnered a cult following by then the show was allowed to stay in the air. In 1989 the show won the HA! van Humo, an annual prize for best Flemish TV show, awarded by the Flemish magazine Humo.
Het Leugenpaleis | History
Host Paul McDermott introduced the show with a monologue similar in format to the opening spiel of "Good News Week", with jokes about recent news events. This was generally followed by a musical act, which featured guests including Evermore (Pilot episode), Thirsty Merc, Sneaky Sound System, Sarah Blasko, Kisschasy, The Cat Empire, Kate Miller-Heidke, Dappled Cities Fly, Expatriate, Kid Confucious, Something for Kate, Dog Trumpet, Tim Rogers, Clare Bowditch, Watussi, Colin Hay, Operator Please, The Hands, Butterfingers and Jimmy Barnes.

Following the musical performance, McDermott presented a humorous list of fake apologies from well-known people who could not be on the show that night.
The Sideshow | Regular segments
The series ran from May 1953 to October 1954. The show was a musical program broadcast live from WGN-TV in Chicago, featuring the vocal talents of Mike Douglas, Henri Noel, Eleanor Warner, Jackie Van, and (in 1954) Dolores Peterson. Robert Trendler conducted a 34-piece orchestra. "The Music Show" originally aired Tuesday nights at 9 (EST) on most DuMont affiliates.

Call for Music | Format
In October 1937, Kyser began including the "Kollege" as a segment in his Monday night broadcasts from the Blackhawk restaurant in Chicago, Illinois, via radio station WGN. Audience participation in the program occurred in two ways. Listeners were invited to submit questions to Kyser, with selected submissions being used on the program. They also could send in answers to questions posed on the air. One episode in December 1937 resulted in more than 2,000 letters being sent to the program. By mid-January 1938, the number of letters from listeners had exceeded 75,000.

The show begins with the segment "The bad joke of the day," where Stathis Panagiotopoulos tells a joke that is considered "cold". Afterwards, the "Top of the week" ("Top επικαιρότητας") segment begins, where videos from various events that occurred are shown, categorized into (usually 25) numbers, for which there are satirical videos (comic skits, parodies etc.) that make fun of the original videos that were presented earlier. At the end of every episode, there is live music from (usually) new and up-and-coming bands. Internationally famous acts have also appeared, like The Zombies and Tim Booth. Until the 6th season, Evgenia Samara or Christina Moustaka would be presenting funny videos found online or created by fans of the show, after the end of "Top of the week".
Radio Arvyla | Format
The show featured many album cuts by both popular and somewhat obscure artists, other than the recognized hit songs or radio edits, tagged "rock, jazz, folk and ragas." The program and its music proved to be so popular that the station eventually made this album oriented rock show the bulk of its programming, much to the chagrin of Frank Sr. himself. However, it honored its roots as a classical music station by broadcasting classical music on Sunday mornings from 8:00-noon with Frank Wood, Sr. as the host. This proved to be one of the station's most popular programs until Wood retired from the air on June 30, 1985.
WEBN | History
In this segment, the stage curtain is raised to reveal an individual or team performing an unusual stunt, often accompanied by music from the CBS Orchestra. Flanking the performer, who varies, are two previous performers who became regulars for the segment: After about thirty seconds the curtain is lowered and Letterman discusses with Shaffer whether the act was "something" or "nothing." As the segment continued over the course of time, Letterman would increasingly express disinterest in the featured performer, opting instead to admire the Grinder Girl. Shaffer in turn would often admit to having been too distracted with his performance of the music.

The program followed a format that was pioneered by the long-running radio program "Information Please" (which itself became a summer replacement series for CBS in 1952). Viewers were encouraged to mail questions about music to the network in an attempt to challenge the knowledge of a four-person panel (the three regular panelists plus a guest). The questions that Leyden read on the air to the panel could involve any aspect of music, from composing to performing to words, music, and arrangement. Individual panelists may be called to imitate the singing or playing style of well-known performers. No score was kept in "Musical Chairs" as the panelists were not in competition with each other (in fact, collaborations between panelists were not uncommon).

After the ill-fated sports show was dropped in January 2014, the "Top 5 at Five" was reinstated at its usual time. Shortly after Nexstar Media Group acquired Tribune Media, the segment was renamed "The Top 5 Things You Need to Know Today" and the segment introduction music was cut.

In August 2018, the show received criticism for a musical segment which highlighted perceived contradictions between Prime Minister Scott Morrison's Christian faith and his actions as a politician. The ABC rejected the suggestion that the segment "attack[ed]" Morrison's religion or religious beliefs, stating that "[m]ost viewers would understand the skit to be a satirical way of examining the relationship between such beliefs and government policies on asylum seekers".

Kornheiser and Wilbon welcome viewers to the show with opening banter. Wilbon usually opens the show with the line, "Pardon the Interruption... but I'm Mike Wilbon in case Mike is not here then the guest host would say the line and add their name." Wilbon will then put a question to Kornheiser concerning one of the day's sports or pop culture issues (which he answers sarcastically). The two will then continue a conversation while the opening title card is shown. The theme song (as well as the commercial outro music) thematically references the song "Cut Your Hair" by Pavement. On rare occasions, Wilbon and Kornheiser will not open with a typical joke, as in the case of starting the show talking about the death of Junior Seau.
Pardon the Interruption | Segment 1: Introduction/Headlines
A thirty-second music bed follows, and then Segment A begins. Segment A (duration 12:29) contained the top story of the day, and usually synopses of longer-term issues viewed through the lens of current events.

Usually at the beginning of the show's second hour, Feldman reads some "actual memos sent in to us by actual listeners" that often contain some sort of humorous content or blooper. This section of the show is not limited to memoranda per se, but also includes typos in newspaper headlines and other publications.

"The Horne Section Television Programme" was a two-hour special show recorded for UKTV in front of a live audience at the London Palladium in April 2018. The show was subsequently broadcast in September 2018 on the "Dave" channel. The show featured a number of guests performing with the band including Sara Pascoe, drag singer Le Gateau Chocolat, Nadine Coyle, Joe Wilkinson and Sue Perkins. The programme interspersed the live performance with supposed studio rehearsal footage in which Horne berates the band for their ability and refuses to allow certain songs to be part of the show.

Occasionally, a few phrases from well-known musical compositions, such as Chopin's "Funeral March" and "La Marseillaise", the French national anthem, were quoted. This CBS show required "wall-to-wall" music, a term for productions that utilize musical "tag" pieces between scenes as needed. While "The Toy Parade" theme was written for the show, incidental music was not. This is evident through the progression of the series, as the theme matured, the usual background music did not. This is the equivalent of the "needle-drop" library of prerecorded music that is still prevalent today. This incidental music was likely a product of the CBS Television Orchestra and clearly sounds reminiscent of the early 1950s, especially by 1963.

Absent from the new program is the "Lives of the Cowboys" sketch, and the signature weekly "News from Lake Wobegon" monologues from Garrison Keillor; still present as of October 2016 are "old favorites" such as the program's faux sponsorship by Powdermilk Biscuits. As of the opening month of the program, the planned replacement for the Keillor monologue was a slate of appearances from standup comics, for instance, the Irish comedian Maeve Higgins. New music from the host, and expanded music in general, have been noted as features of the new program. Andrew Leahy of "Rolling Stone" offers as perspective, that Thile has indicated that the musical variety of the premiere program (see below) will continue, with listeners to expect "roots-rockers, folksingers, jazz musicians, soul revivalists and bluegrass bands all taking the stage."

This segued into the opening credits, during which musical director Cameron Bruce (formerly of GUD) and house band "The Bearded Ladies" played the show's theme song. For a short period during the second half of 2007, Clayton Doley stood in as musical director, and the band was known as "The Sideshow Misfits". As well as the opening and closing themes, the house band played walk-on music for guests, riffs between segments, and sometimes accompany guests, musical or otherwise, as they performed.

Keillor's good-natured sense of humor is credited with allowing him to expand the playlist. Efforts by classical music purists to remove "The Morning Program" from the MPR network continued until the mid-1980s, however.

Colin & Edith brought back the classic Radio 1 Roadshow game for a few months in which much music was mixed together in short bursts, and contestants have to remember as many tracks as they can.

The show usually features interviews with three guests and a live musical performance. Usually, if one of the guests is a musician or band, they return to perform at the end of the show. There are also occasions when the first guest stays on to continue the interview past the first commercial break, in which case the show only features two interviews. In most cases, the interviews are longer and more in-depth than those on Letterman's show.

The Chris Matthews Show | Program format
Journalist Christopher Hall made regular appearances to deliver reports and ask ridiculous questions to people in the streets until the end of Season 3. Sometimes Segments unrelated to the news appeared in the "current affairs" part of the show, such as a cooking segment, the 'Petit Laflaque Illustre' which explains an everyday object in a ridiculous way, and 'Stade Trek' a Star Trek parody featuring the former political leaders cruising around the galaxy in Montreal's Olympic Stadium.

He claims that they were well into the collaboration when Fierstein arrived one day with an emotional fiery scene he had written for the end of Act I that included the words "I am what I am". Delighted, Herman asked to use the five words, boasting he would have a song by morning, which he did. With gay-activist Fierstein and the political Laurents on board, the show could have "become a polemic diatribe on gay rights." However, Herman was a moderating influence. Having suffered a series of disappointments with darker-themed shows since 1969, he was eager to score a hit with a mainstream, emotional, optimistic song-and-dance entertainment that middle-class audiences would enjoy.

Sometimes a Silly Song is introduced with a static picture of Larry. Then, an unseen narrator, sometimes Archibald, says the following: "And now it's time for Silly Songs with Larry, the part of the show where Larry comes out and sings a silly song." However, this format is used loosely; sometimes it is renamed, adapted to the context of the episode, or eschewed altogether. The Silly Song, when present, always appears in the middle of an episode, usually at a cliffhanger moment or between two separate segments, and usually has nothing to do with the episode storyline. The segment either takes place on the familiar countertop which opens and closes some of the episodes, or is presented in another setting off the countertop.

The hosts referred to their show as "a musical talkshow". It was the only programme on the radio station where the hosts are allowed to play music of their own choice, thus giving airplay to music that aren't in the charts and music from upcoming artists. However the peculiar satire that dominated the show was really what distinguished it from other more common radio shows. The hosts didn't comply with normal radio-behaviour and would often talk at the same time for example, giving the programme a very impromptu atmosphere. In many of the episodes members of the programme's own crew, the producer Gry Frid Nielsen, Karsten "the Philosopher" Holt and various trainees on the radio station, as well as random people they call on air often played an active part in the programme.

Musical selections are commonly organized around a theme, sometimes of Bachman's own choosing and sometimes in response to a request submitted by a listener. The program's format somewhat resembles "Finkleman's 45s", the program it replaced in June 2005 on the CBC Radio schedule, although Bachman presents a very different range of musical selections than Danny Finkleman did. Some of Bachman's musical stories from the program were published in book form in the fall of 2011. Until 2011, when they separated, Bachman's wife Denise McCann Bachman also participated in the show, reading listener mail (typically 40 minutes into the first hour), doing fact research and commenting.

The song is a satirical response to television's rural purge, which saw a series of cancellations of still-popular television shows in the early 1970s (particularly the 1970–71 season), most of which either had or were perceived to have had demographically skewed audiences, in favor of shows that were thought to pull in the more desirable younger demographics, and because a new federal mandate required the networks to surrender much of their prime time to affiliates. The two shows mentioned in the title and throughout the song—"Hee Haw", a CBS series on which Clark was a co-host; and "The Lawrence Welk Show", which aired on ABC—were among those shows canceled by their networks in 1971 as part of the rural purge; demographics (a rural audience for "Hee Haw", an elderly-leaning audience for "Lawrence Welk") was the most cited reason.

The show features cohost Jen Posner and the goofy antics of the two are accompanied by producer Rob Calvert. The show is not only a talk format but also plays a number of classic rock songs throughout the morning including a "Breakfast with the Beatles" segment from 7:10 until 7:20 am. Additional appearances by comedian Grover Silcox happen from approximately 8:00–8:45 am every Thursday. The show almost always closes with the song "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" by Eric Idle of Monty Python fame. Both "Breakfast with the Beatles" and "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" ending the show were also staples of his WMMR show.

Until 2016, the 'Featured Artist' segment comprised the main content of the show. 'Featured Artist' would be recorded at the home of Jim Caine, referred to by his co-presenter as "The Maestro" due to his encyclopaedic knowledge of the artists and songs of the "Sweet & Swing" era, and would encompass a montage of previous recollections from Jim Caine concerning various artists. Howard Caine would often refer to Jim Caine's house as either "Music Man HQ," "Maestro HQ" or "Maestro Towers" and until the change in format would begin that particular segment of the show with a brief "résumé" of the past week's weather before that week's chosen artist was revealed.

In "The Note", the first episode of season three, the bumper music featured a scatting female jazz singer who sang a phrase that sounded like "easy to beat". Jerry Seinfeld and executive producer Larry David both liked Wolff's additions, and three episodes were produced with this new style music. However, they had neglected to inform NBC and Castle Rock executives of the change, and when the season premiere aired, the executives were surprised and unimpressed, and requested that they return to the original style. The subsequent two episodes were redone, leaving this episode as the only one with additional music elements.

In the first series, broadcast on Sundays at 6:30 p.m. from Chicago, emcee Garry Moore read music-related questions submitted by listeners to band members in the 14-piece Ted Weems Orchestra. Originally sponsored by the General Mills cereal Kix, listeners whose questions were used on the air received $10; those who stumped the band received $20 and a case of Kix. Questions were often posed in the form of puns or riddles. such as, "Suppose a small fur-bearing animal gets so angry he explodes. What song title is suggested?" The answer from comedian-violinist Red Ingle, "Pop Goes the Weasel." Band members who answered questions incorrectly had to toss a fifty-cent piece on the bass drum.

During these call-in segments, some callers suggested that the station sped up (or "pitched up") the music so that they could fit in more commercials while still being able to claim that they played a large number of songs per hour. Berger repeatedly denied that this practice was in use at WPLJ. In the September 20, 1999 episode of "Crap from the Past", host Ron "Boogiemonster" Gerber suggested that music was sped up on WPLJ to make the same music sound less dynamic on other stations.

Later in the show's run, the show added two people of colour, a Haitian immigrant named Passe-Tourelle (played by Joujou Turenne) and a Vietnameise character named Passe-Midi (played by Daniel Dõ). Apart from the distinctive costumes of the main actors, the live action segments had a surrealistic feel due to the absence of any visible walls: all doors, windows and portraits were seen to hang in mid-air. Whether this was due to budget constraints or artistic choices is unclear. Segments in this category could either be educational (counting, language skils, memory work, etc.), musical (featuring original songs composed in a traditional folk style), moralistic (personal responsibility), or storytelling.

One of the Jack Kane episodes drew internal criticism from CBC's program evaluation director Ira Dilworth who severely objected to Kane's "boot licking" towards guest Arthur Schwartz.
