Need help placing a movie or TV scene

Not sure which one it was.

It's a mock-umentary thing where this guy is being interviewed (and I'm pretty sure it's Ed Begley, Jr. interviewing John Michael Higgins, which is why I think this must be Christopher Guest) and the interviewee is disappointed that nobody closes a clapperboard and says "action" at the start. The reporter keeps trying to explain (badly) that that was a legacy of when audio and video were recorded on separate film reels and had to be synchronized, so it isn't used anymore. But the interviewee keeps moping about it and so finally a production assistant uses her clipboard as a clapperboard and says "action" (scene cut at that point; you never actually see the interview).

Does this ring a bell with anybody?
