Here is some clips from SNL where there is a lot of intertextuality.
The reason that it has intertextuality is because Jeopardy is a show itself and SNL remade the show with their actors playing the part of the game show people. Then instead of the random people playing the game they instead play the parts of celebrities that are playing Jeopardy. Makes reference to people like Bill Cosby, Tom Cruise, Sean Connery, and Adam Sandler, which it relies on to make it funny since it makes fun of them and what they have said in the past. With most importantly Alex Trebek being recreated as the the host of the show by Will Farrell. So by recreating a whole new setting of the Jeopardy it creates this new discourse community that people can laugh about together while still poking fun at the celebrities it is making fun of.
