TV Dinner

"TV Dinner" is an episode from The Lion King's Timon & Pumbaa.

Synopsis
The Hyenas try to convince a filmmaker into making a wildlife documentary about them, rather than about an armadillo.

Plot
"TV Dinner" begins by introducing three hyenas: Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed. The episode starts by introducing a documentary show called "Kingdom of the Creatures" with Martin Pardon as the host. Martin brings in an armadillo to make it the star of the show. The camera man, Ron, doesn't think that they should make an armadillo the star of the show, but Martin decides to do so.

The hyenas see the armadillo having a meal and the suggest that they star on the show to have dinner. As Martin does the first take about what the armadillo does when he's frightened, Shenzi is dressed in ballet clothes and starts dancing. Martin yells "cut" and gets rid of Shenzi.

Martin does a second take to talk about what the armadillo does during the rainy season. Then Banzai shows up dressed as a rockstar and sings. Martin yells "cut" again and gets rid of Banzai.

On the next take, Martin talks about the armadillo making a party sound. Then, Ed throws tomatoes at Martin, the armadillo, and a turtle on Martin's head and shows up, dressed up, laughing with Ron thinking it's funny as well. Martin gets rid of Ed by telling the hyena a joke and then kicking him out. The hyenas then figure out a way to get in the TV show.

The armadillo leaves the Serengeti and now Martin has to find another animal star. The host then sees the hyenas and nervously suggests to make them stars of the show. The hyenas replace Martin and become the show's new host and make a take with Martin in a pot.
