cue, v.

[Jonathan Lighter]

Not in OED in the common mediaspeak sense, "Consider next the familiar..."

Candy Crowley of CNN is giving a rundown of possible GOP VP candidates.
"First there's....  Then there's.....Cue Congressman Paul Ryan, who...Then
blah blah blah."

Rhetorical tip!: Top communicators know that saying "Cue" instead of
"Next," or something similar, re-rivets your audience's attention by making
them think they're on a Hollywood sound stage!  Otherwise they fall asleep!
