My God, does this remind me of SCTV's "Mel's Rock Pile," a spoof on all these shows with Eugene Levy in the role of nerdy host "Rockin' Mel Slirrup."

Seriously, though, some 60's ne'er do wells (the local precursors to Beavis and Butt-head) at a high school in Pittsburgh's east suburbs once got their jollies by calling up local teen-rock bands, telling them they were from Channel 9 and wanted the bands on "Teen Time." A couple hapless groups actually traveled to make the trip for the taping only to find WSTV officials who never heard of them.
Needless to say, the bands were not happy.

I guess today they'd call that "Punk'd."
