McGarnigale

McGarnigale is the main character of a television series that solves crimes in his spare time. The show is a parody of the 'hard-boiled cop' stereotype of action movies/action television.

History
In the TV show almost every line includes "McGarnigale" somewhere. At one point in the film, he has to get a boy named Billy to explain in full honesty about what he saw out there (presumably in regards to a crime scene) for McGarnigale, but then Billy (presumably before the case) was killed by being slit from ear to ear.

A stand for the TV show was seen in the Museum of TV and Television.

Behind the Laughter
McGarnigale is similar in appearance, voice and behavior to Clint Eastwood's character of Harry Callahan from the  films.
