“Lights. Camera. Fiction!”

“Lights! Camera! Action!” is, supposedly, what a movie director might say. “Lights! Camera! Fiction!” has been used in several titles.
   
“Lights. Camera. Fiction!” was used in the cartoon by Brendan Loper in The New Yorker on April 17, 2018. However, instead of a movie set, we see the television news set of Fox News.
