The premise
Here’s the bit.
Tina Fey introduces Ripple and DeLorean Ramada as a lesser-known pair of hotel-fortune socialites in the mold of Paris and Nicky Hilton. Swigging champagne at the Update desk, the sisters explain that their claim to the fortune is a relative by marriage who partly owns a budget motel chain, and that while the Hiltons live at the Waldorf Astoria, they live at a Ramada Inn by Newark airport. Asked for gossip from a glamorous film-premiere party, they draw a blank and instead rave about the grand opening of a football player's car dealership in Nutley, New Jersey, reeling off a guest list of faded celebrities. Their story of the night ends back in their motel room, where they find a stand-up comedian passed out in the hot tub, before they toast their supposedly enviable lives and Fey signs them off.
