A comedy show about a sketch-comedy show where humor is in very short supply. One of the executive producers had a meltdown on the air, the control room is a mess, and the actors aren't much better off. The show's only hope lies in "wunderkind" writers Danny Tripp and Matt Albie (each with problems of his own), as well as new network entertainment chief Jordan McDeere.




Trivia
– Harriet’s inability to tell a joke is based on Sarah Paulson’s own inability to do so. Aaron Sorkin heard she had that problem, and thought it was hilarious, so he wrote it into the show.
