MAN LAM TONIGHT! Early draft.

Crane shot of the streets of LA at night, then of Hollywood boulevard as cars slide along the neon soaked roads.

DEEP MALE VO:  Are you ready....for the hottest new talk show in Hollywood?

Theme tune plays, something upbeat and jazzy, not yet composed. A film strip of footage from the show snakes across the screen from right to left, each cell showing clips of guests and classic Man Lam moments. Key parts are from episode E410 where Man Lam is standing on his chair thrusting at Dame Judi Dench, and another from E403 where he's doing his tongue action at the camera.

TITLECARD: MAN LAM TONIGHT!

DEEP MALE VO (affectionate):  Meet Man Lam! He'll say anything...

CLIP: MAN LAM walks from from backstage out into the studio to an applauding, whistling audience. He has a suit and a wide grin on his face. He holds his hands up to greet his audience.

MAN LAM: I'm here! I'm naked! Let's do it.

DEEP MALE VO:  ...To anyone!

CLIP: Man Lam is talking to Eva Mendes.

MAN LAM (gleeful): How can I put dis to you? I want my face in your sweet vagina hole action.

MAN LAM: I can help you get to number one inda charts.

BOY GEORGE: You can?  I would love that, Man.  What do you want in return?

(edit) Man Lam then grinds up and down in front of Boy George as the audience roars.

Montage of Man Lam forcefully hugging various guests. He's seen humping Obama's leg briefly.

OBAMA:  Heh heh, I'm gettin' some Man love.

CHRIS: Motherfucker, you a sensation, you taking the nation by storm, makin' people laugh and making millions...but you setting the Chinese people back four hundred fucking years! (laughter) International relations are gon' break down BECAUSE of you...
