Behind the running joke

Jim Carrey plays an attention-hungry office worker who turns up behind television news segments and interviews, escalating from mugging for the camera to costume changes and full-scale stunts while the people in the foreground carry on. Installments ran from In Living Color's third season through its fifth, at locations including a Super Bowl interview, the White House, the FOX newsroom, a crime scene and a Bigfoot sighting.

That was a good bit.
