Synopsis

Joel, Michele, two rock stars and VH1 all squabble over who "owns" rights to Joel's "A Hard Day's Night"-style dream after Michele pretends she dreamt it, not Joel, and "gives" it to the one she wants to date for his shrink appointment. Kevin becomes the VH1 men's room attendant in a guilt-ridden attempt to carry on "the legacy of the profession."

Production notes

Jennifer Lopez, Moby, Bono, Lenny Kravitz, Bruce Springsteen and many more. These are just some of the guests that Joel Stein will be humiliating- unintentionally, of course- on his new celebrity talk show. This hip series takes an inside look at what it's like to work at a music station. See him interview your favorite musicians and laugh along with the crew as they openly mock the rich and famous.

This TV series was to run for 13 episodes. However, apparently only four were aired during its original run on Canadian network Bravo! In September 2006, the entire 13 episodes appeared on the schedule of another Canadian network, Teletoon.

Based on an idea from Time magazine and Entertainment Weekly journalist Joel Stein.

Fountains of Wayne performed in two animated videos during each episode.
