In the high-stakes, low-morality world of late-night television, a desperate producer sees his chance for fame and fortune vanish in a puff of smoke. When a catastrophic on-air incident leaves controversial talk show host Ross Kevin Nealon dead, his ambitious and unscrupulous producer, Tom Tom Arnold, concocts a wildly reckless scheme. He recruits a hapless young intern, played by Evan Peters, to help him cover up the death and secretly replace the host with a convincing look-alike, all to keep the lucrative show running and the money flowing. As this absurd conspiracy spirals out of control, they must navigate a chaotic landscape of suspicious network executives, a determined girlfriend Whitney Able, and a tenacious police detective Dule Hill, all while trying to maintain the ultimate televised illusion. This darkly comedic farce from writer-director Brandon Beckner delivers a satirical punch, exploring the ridiculous lengths to which people will go for a taste of power and the spotlight, all wrapped in an R-rated package of escalating mishaps and moral compromises.
