The Girlie Show was originally targeted at women, until Jordan joined the cast and the show was renamed to attract a male audience. Liz and Jenna started the show on Second City in Chicago and worked for years to turn it into a television series. It was adopted by NBC after the network came under fire for the show Bitch Hunter. In season 4, Josh quit the show and was replaced by Danny Baker. TGS is loosely based on the real Saturday Night Live.
