In de gloria

In de Gloria ("In the Glory") was a 2000–01 Belgian TV sketch comedy show, directed by Jan Eelen and produced by the company Woestijnvis.

It was a mockumentary series which satirized reality television and human interest shows, especially the way regular people are exploited by media.

In Flanders itself, the series continues to enjoy significant popularity and critical praise, with several sketches having gained classic status.

In an interview, Eelen said he was inspired by the Dutch mockumentaries of Van Kooten en De Bie and Arjan Ederveen's 30 minuten.

[citation needed] In September 2006, the YouTube clip was even shown during The Tonight Show with Jay Leno[7] and Star Channel news, with both hosts announcing it as being real.
