Premise
Though the show is technically a sketch-comedy program, the show is set in a fictional universe in which it is broadcast as a popular television comedy as certain segments involve staged mishaps with the studio audience and sometimes members of it. The series also includes comedic sub-plots of a character named Penelope Taynt (portrayed by Bynes), who proclaims herself as "Amanda's Number One Fan" who devises scheme to meet Amanda but often fails. Aside from that, the show usually runs as a regular sketch-comedy show, with a few recurring sketches and some that are only shown in one episode.
