Concept: "Inside Llewyn Davis," but for 80s shock-jocks failing their way up the ladder of reactionary US politics.
"Moonie Ray-Gun" first made his name mocking Jerry Brown, but he wasn't a national figure until he was banned by Johnny Carson from The Tonight Show for his pro-Bernie Goetz comedy set. Moonie's subsequent radio contract was nearly cancelled twice following his mockery of Rodney King, LA rioters, and OJ. But later in the 90s, Moonie seemed to settle into a respectable position...
and rallied with politicians in several states to bring back the death penalty.
Moonie was not welcomed into institutional partisan politics until he made a breakthrough performance in the California senatorial election in 201X, which he the parlayed into his current position as House Minority Whip.
