Reminds me of The Rural Juror:

Barbara Walters: [on The View] Let's get personal. Your father Werner was a burger server in suburban Santa Barbara.

Jenna Maroney: Yes, that's right.

Barbara Walters: When he spurned your mother Verna for a curly-haired surfer named Roberta. Did that hurt her?

Jenna Maroney: It was hard on all of us, yes.

Barbara Walters: Flurg murg glurg flurg murg murg murg tennis murg murg. Was a murg murg flurg?

Jenna Maroney: I'll always be his little girl. [cries]

Barbara Walters: [puts her hand on Jenna's shoulder] Glurg.
