Network Executives Appearing on Their Shows

[icecream]

I saw an episode of Night Court tonight where Brandon Tartikoff appeared as himself. I wouldn't have even known who he was except they mentioned his name and he bailed some Nielsen viewers out of jail. Warren Littlefield guest starred as himself on Seinfeld. They also had Lloyd Braun but I don't know if that was the actual person, his was a negative portrayal. What other network executives appeared on their shows, either as themselves or someone else?

Is there a night that Seth Meyers doesn't have a person from SNL on?

Brandon Tartikoff also appeared as himself on "Saved By The Bell" in the "No Hope With Dope" episode and did an anti-drug spot with the SBTB gang.
(He also broke the fourth wall by suggesting to the principal that NBC should try doing a show about a principal and the kids at his school- and then abruptly rejects it, deciding it would never work.)
He also appeared as himself in an episode of "ALF"- in the "Make 'Em Laugh" episode.
He's also done some acting roles as other characters on a few shows too- Dave's World, Night Stand and Cheers.
