A gag. An on-going gag. And I guess these "weirdly appropriate casting
mismatches" (McHale) are funny enough.  Place Pat Sajac's glamor shot
next to Frank Gorshin's  and consider the similarities in their
personae. But why does P "cast" Pat Sajac as Frank Gorshin in the scene
when Zoyd goes looking for a disguise and some cash from Millard and
Blodwen? Why not have Prairie watching Pat Sajac in the Frank Gorshin
story? 

And, what has this casting got to do with Brecht?  

Well, it is simply hilarious to have a dope like Pat play such a dynamic
riddle like Gorshin.
