Ladies and gentleman…meet Wally Sparks (Rodney Dangerfield). A fast-talking host of a tactless, uncouth TV tabloid show, Wally makes half of America laugh hysterically and the other half cringe. Wally’s show doesn’t just push the envelope of decency — it obliterates it. Love him, hate him, just tune in! And millions do. But when advertisers and the FCC begin complaining about his outrageous antics, the network president (Burt Reynolds) gives Wally an ultimatum: “Clean up your act or the show is canned!”

With one last shot to save his access, Wally goes after an interview with the conservative governor Georgia (David Ogden Stiers). With some freak luck and the help of his undaunted producer (Debt Mazar), Wally ends up at a political party at the govemor’s mansion, where he uncovers a sensational story riddled with sex, political scandal and sky-high ratings potential!
