Fauxplause 

When an already proper famous person drops the name of another legendary person for the sole purpose of inducing a moment of applause while being interviewed themselves.
“Joe McHollywood” on late night prefaces a story by stating, “...so I take the movie part, show up to the set, and the first person I meet is none other than Robert deNiro himself...(applause for mentioning deNiro)...and then I proceed to tell HIM to go get me a sandwich mistaking him for a commoner and not recognizing him through his makeup.”

The moment while a studio audience is applauding for the mention of an even bigger star is the fauxplause.
