TV show description:
Lifelong buddies Derrick (Taran Killam) and Will (Paul Campbell) are fed up with the quality of the current TV sitcoms and send off a video message chiding Hollywood network executives.
The bigwigs respond and the friends are flown in to meet WB network executive Jeff Tucker (Paul Adelstein), Creative VP Roy Ingold (Bob Clendenin), and Tucker’s assistant Jill “Something” (Lauren Bittner).
The executives challenge the friends to create a better sitcom and assign camera crews to film them in action for a reality show.
