Tackling the world of network television. The once great sketch comedy show `Studio 60' is suddenly close to cancellation due to its less than stellar on-air product and its executive producer's on-air mental meltdown.

Now that they're on board, Matt and Danny try not to crumble under the pressure of putting on their first big show, where the stakes are outrageously high. Also high are the number of complaints the network is getting over the `Crazy Christians' sketch, which Jordan defends to Jack.

A scare is sent through the company by a focus group that Matt and Danny's first show rating success might not carry on during the rest of the season.

Matt fabricates a response to a gift sent by one of Harriet's fans while the show attempts to recover from 90 seconds of questionable material. An article about the show is then approved by Jordan.

During cast rehearsals with Lauren Graham and Sting, a reporter attempts to get the real story on Matt and Harriet. Meanwhile, Jordan passes on a tasteless new reality series.

A drunken Jordan makes friends with the cast during an after-show party, Danny tries to get Matt's mind off Harriet with the help of three sexy women, Simon makes a plea to hire more black writers, and Cal deals with a mysterious man backstage.
