Michael · Act 2
Michael storms an in-game talent show set — one of GTA V's funniest mid-campaign moments.
Fame or Shame is a reality TV talent show produced by The Reality Mill and hosted by Lazlow Jones, screening on Weazel in and .
The show is filmed in the Vinewood Bowl in Vinewood Hills, and auditions are held in the Maze Bank Arena in La Puerta, Los Santos. As of the events of Grand Theft Auto V, Fame or Shame is in its 14th season.
The judges on Fame or Shame tend to mock and insult Lazlow even when voting on a singer's performance. The show's ratings are apparently low, so Lazlow begs the judges to do something controversial, as real-life talent shows do to keep acts despite low ratings.
Fame or Shame is likely a parody of talent shows such as ''*, The Voice, Fame Academy, Pop Idol, Britain's Got Talent, Strictly Come Dancing, **, So You Think You Can Dance, and *'', where three or more judges vote on the contestant's performance. In addition, the opening sequence of Fame or Shame is very similar to that of The X Factor, which involves a beam of light doing a fly-through of the city.
