And so when Sally Millz, a successful, Emmy-winning comedy writer on a late night sketch show comes across handsome and charming rock star Noah Brewster, who is guess-hosting, she is reminded that women like her never get the super hot guy. For one, it gives a behind-the-scenes look at how sketch comedy shows like SNL function and the story centers around a woman and takes up the notion of the outrageously hot woman who often will choose a funny, perhaps, but less attractive man and no one will accept such a thing as anything but the norm.
