Up Late With McBain is a program on Cape Feare. The show is presented by Rainier Wolfcastle (presumably while in-character as McBain).

The announcer was named Obergruppenfuhrer Wolfcastle and was apparently a high ranking SS officer, due to the uniform. It's unknown whether the announcer is related to Wolfcastle.

Scoey is the leader for the music band in this program.

One episode suffered from controversy when Wolfcastle, while commenting on Scoey's musician outfit, noted that it made him look homosexual, which caused an outcry from the audience, with Wolfcastle then accusing the audience of being homosexual as well, to even more outrage from the audience.

The show was so horribly written that even Bart Simpson, a devoted McBain fan, was repulsed by it while Lisa is more upset that this is yet another example of the FOX Network airing crummy programming ("The FOX Network has sunk to a new low.").

Behind the Laughter[]

  • Although the title suggests that it is a late night talk show, Marge Simpson came in with the mail while Bart and Lisa were watching the show, indicating that the show airs during the afternoon (or the series was so bad that it was canceled and whatever unaired episodes they had were burned off in a timeslot where barely anyone would be watching, i.e., the mid-to-late afternoon).
  • Because of the appearance of Obergrupperfurher Wolfcastle, Germany initially refused to air "Cape Feare", as there are rules against showing Nazi imagery in German media (unless it's for educational reasons). "Cape Feare" finally aired in 1999 on ProSieben, but the beginning was removed.
