Scott Aukerman on ‘Bajillion Dollar Propertie$’, Reality TV and Comedy’s New Niche

It’s a good time to be satirizing reality television shows, if the modern comedy landscape can be believed. For every Bachelor, there’s now a Burning Love; for every Real World, a Sex House, and for every Wahlburgers...a, well, Wahlburgers. The Kroll Show, which had its final season last year, managed to mashup and spoof genres of unscripted television that most of us probably only knew about from commercials, or times we stayed home from work so sick we couldn’t even lift the remote to turn off Bravo’s Gallery Girls or Flipping Out.
