Poor Valerie Cherish (Lisa Kudrow). Not only does she have to face the press after news breaks about her sitcom being written by AI, but the cast and crew accuse her of lying. So who leaked it? While she tries to do damage control on set, she agrees to appear with her husband Mark (Damian Young) on his Finance Dudes reality show, where she soon realizes not everyone is cut out for reality TV.
