Fernwood Tonight (sometimes stylized as Fernwood 2 Night) is a satirical Talk Show parody that was created by Norman Lear in 1977 as the second spin-off of Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman.Ostensibly broadcast from the fictional town of Fernwood, Ohio, the show is hosted by Barth Gimble (Martin Mull), a leisure-suited Smug Smiler (who may or may not be evading extradition to Florida). Jerry Hubbard (Fred Willard) is the clueless announcer and co-host who always manages to say exactly the wrong thing at the wrong time. The show ran five nights a week in first-run syndication for a total of 65 episodes. The following year, it was retooled as America Tonight. | |

Hollywood Tone-Deaf | |
| Fernwood Tonight / int_25f0ed12 | comment |
Hollywood Tone-Deaf: The house band, Happy Kyne and the Mirthmakers, whose playing brought new meaning to the word "adequate". In reality, the band members were all highly accomplished musicians; Happy Kyne was played by Frank De Vol (an arranger-conductor-composer for several well-known singers, movies and TV series) and one of the guitarists was Tommy Tedesco (a Los Angeles studio musician part of the Wrecking Crew). | |

Lounge Lizard: Tony Rolletti (played by Bill Kirchenbauer) was a particularly cheesy (and pathetic) example who became a frequent guest. | |

The Ditz | |
| Fernwood Tonight / int_e2d457 | comment |
The Ditz: Announcer Jerry Hubbard embodies this trope (when a female guest discusses the subject of gynecology, Jerry interjects earnestly: "Have they found a cure for that yet?"). | |
