Tatyana Ali is poking fun at reality TV producers in her new spoof titled,It’s My Show: The Producer.

On the show, Ali plays a producer named Mona O’Neil. The name is most likely a combination of VH1 show producers Mona Scott Young, fromLove and Hip-Hop Atlanta, and Shaunie O’Neil, fromBasketball Wives. 

“I am Mona O’Neil, world renowned reality show producer,” Ali says during the episode. “It is my job to bring the excitement out of Bresha and Jameel, the hood if you will. Some people say stereotypes, I say good television.”

During the five-minute spoof, O’Neil tells her star character: “You got to show skin to win” and “This is so ratchet, so hood. The hood is good.” Check out the video above and let us know what you think.
