Synopsis

In the 1990's, aging comedian Buddy Young, Jr. attempts a comeback while reminiscing about his show-biz beginnings and his glory days in the 1950s. Through his selfishness and abusiveness, he has alienated his family, his employers, and his friends. Despite all of this, Buddy's brother and manager Stan has been the one constant all through the years, sticking with him and serving his every whim.
