This isn't a fictional treatment, but Brill and McCall, the comedy duo that performed on that show, were featured on This American Life in 2005 (the episode theme was 'big breaks'), and in plenty of 50th anniversary coverage, as they were (and are as of today) still around.
https://www.thisamericanlife.org/281/my-big-break While Brill was also a footnote in Star Trek's "The Trouble with Tribbles," he played a much bigger part (though the same role) in the Deep Space Nine tribute "Trials and Tribble-ations" nearly 30 years later.

I seem to recall it's been done before, but I can't recall by who -- I want to say it was a sketch that focused on someone offstage who was going on after the Beatles. At any rate, here's the actual guest rundown: http://www.niftyniblets.com/2014/02/the-other-guests-when-beatles-first.html#.XU346i2ZPUI You can buy, on DVD, the complete "Ed Sullivan Show" episodes on which the Beatles appeared, including the original commercials. (I gave a copy of the set to my father a few years ago, and he really enjoyed it -- of course, he watched when the shows originally aired.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
