Okay, so I have a few thoughts:

Page 795: "Our est33med guest hasn't been told the rules yet. We'll get to that part later too." This implies that there are "rules" which need to be explained, which implies that this is a game show.

Page 796 has a panel showing a bunch of Nepetas clapping. Later, we learn that Ly'lac is known as "Ly'lac of the final applause." Is this a coincidence? Maybe, but I'm currently betting on those two things being at least somewhat related somehow.
