A behind-the-scenes look at a fictional sketch-comedy TV show (Saturday Night Live).
In the first episode, a sketch called "Crazy Christians" is pulled right before the show goes on live. Judd Hirsch, who plays the Lorne Michaels character breaks down, goes in front of the camera on live TV, and goes on a rant reminicent of "NetworK'. Newly hired network president Amanda Peet decides to hire Matthew Perry and Bradley Whitford's characters (who play are a very successful writer/producer combo) to save the show. Perry and Whitford had worked on the show previously, but had been uncermoniously dismissed years prior. However, they're forced into taking the job because Whitford's character had recently flunked a drug test and now they can't get bonded for the movie they were scheduled to shoot.
