A Nabokov reference slips into "Newsradio," a wonderful sitcom (since cancelled but currently on syndication) starring Dave Foley, a former member of the comedy troupe Kids in the Hall. The episode is titled "The Lam" (Part 2 of 3) and it originally aired 11/11/98.
Johnny, a corporate pirate aptly described as "pure evil," proposes to a regular member of the cast (pictured) by saying, "Lisa Miller, light of my fire, fire of my loins, will you marry me?"
Below follows a rundown of the episode (stolen from The Newsradio Station):
"Lisa admits to being attracted to Johnny (Guest Star Patrick Warburton, David Puddy of 'Seinfeld'), and Dave (Dave Foley) realizes he must exploit their relationship in order to protect Jimmy (Stephen Root), who has escaped from jail and is hiding out from the FBI at Dave's parents' home in Wisconsin. Jon Lovitz, Andy Dick, Joe Rogan and Vicki Lewis also star."
