Ann Magnuson - Made For Television (1981)

Part 2

From Wikipedia:

Her 15-minute video performance piece “Made for Television”, self-produced in 1981, ran on the WNET-PBS avant garde series Alive from Off-Center. Hersatiric featurette found her playing close to 50 roles in a “channel-hopping” series of visual bites parodying television programming game shows to TV-movies to televangelists. As Art critic Sarah Valdez described it, “a bewigged Ann Magnuson consecutively inhabits, at a rate faster than any channel surfer could keep up with, an outlandish, uproariously unfortunate range of female stereotypes”. It was later released by HBO Home Video together with the Cinemax cable-TV special Vandemonium Plus (1987), in which Magnuson starred in a mostly solo stage piece with appearances by actor-singer Meat Loaf and actor-monologist Eric Bogosian.
