'''''The Show''''' is [[Homestar Runner]]'s supposed "game and political talk" show.

''The Show'' has many similarities to [[Game Show References|real game shows]]. The set is modeled much after those designed in the 1970s. In particular, the rounded rectangles, chasing lights, and orange shag carpet featured in the background suggest a reference to the ''{{w|Match Game}}'' prior to 1978. Homestar's mic is also similar to {{w|Gene Rayburn}}'s mic from the ''Match Game'' and {{w|Bob Barker}}'s original mic from ''{{w|The Price Is Right}}''. The game [[Pom Pom]] and [[The Poopsmith]] are playing in The Show's debut, [[the show]], bears resemblance to ''{{w|Hollywood Squares}}'', a popular game show originally airing in the late '60s.

==Features on ''The Show''==
''The Show'' features these segments:
*Share your "polictical"<!--[sic]--> views.
*Recite a list (in the email "[[the show]]", Homestar reads the answers off the cards).
*Play a ''[[imdb:tt0138968|Hollywood Squares]]''-style game.
*Play the "games" or "guess the price" round.
*Speedstipe - predict the costume guesses in a lightning round.
*Answer questions in the "win big" category.
*Get someone to say something coherent.
*At the end of each episode, Homestar reminds the audience to "Chant Words Together".

== ''The Show AM'' ==
[[Image:The show am.PNG|thumb|The Show AM]]
'''''The Show AM''''' debuted in "[[4 branches]]". Unlike ''The Show'', ''The Show AM'' is a morning/tabloid talk show (like ''[[Wikipedia:The View (U.S. TV series)|The View]]'' or ''[[Wikipedia:Maury (TV series)|Maury]]'') instead of a game show. It uses the same set and microphone as ''The Show''. The majority of ''The Show AM'''s audience is female, and the discussions range from fashion makeovers using simple items around the house (such as [[mustard]]) to angry confrontations among people in dysfunctional relationships. 

Its title alludes to ''Match Game PM'', a syndicated spin-off of ''Match Game'' that aired weekly during a nighttime time slot (by contrast to its daytime version, which aired daily on CBS)

== ''The Punkin Show'' ==
[[Image:Punkin_Show.PNG|thumb|The Punkin Show]]
'''''The Punkin Show''''', first seen in the similarly titled [[Punkin Show]] toon, features Homestar judging various fan-submitted [[pumpkins]] with the help of his Ding Board. [[Paint daubs]] appear to be strictly prohibited, perhaps due to The Punkin Show's sponsorship by the Council Against Paint Daubs. Other promoters include [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], Scary Bubs' Concession Stand, and the [[Homestar Jr.]] [[burger]].
