Movie Info
Old-school comic Rodney "I get no respect" Dangerfield headlines this broad-based comedy satire of trashy '90s-style television talk-shows. He plays the title host of an afternoon show that has become so sleazy that all but his most die-hard fans have stopped watching. Studio executive Lenny Spencer (Burt Reynolds) is so disgusted, that he gives Sparks one week to improve the ratings or else. To this end, Sparks attends a special reception hosted by his arch nemesis, ultra-conservative Governor Floyd Preston (David Ogden Stiers).

Dangerfield misfire comedy on several levels; little to smile about.

Dangerfield gets all his celebrity friends to cameo -- and they've never been worse!
