On stage, Larry and David put aside their differences and blow the audience away - unexpectedly, Mel Brooks isn't impressed.—Tomius J. Barnard
- Cheryl reminds Larry to cash in on his present before "midnight" of the opening. Larry is still having trouble with his lines for the show. Larry David flies to New York with fellow performers David Schwimmer and Cady Huffman to star on Broadway in "The Producers". Cheryl still thinks that Larry is trying to close Cady as his anniversary gift. Larry has 3 days to close with Cady.
Along the way, he argues with Schwimmer. Larry thinks David complained to the stewardess about his reclined seat. Larry sees David whisper to the stewardess and right after the stewardess comes over and asks Larry to put his seat in the upright position. Larry develops a strange relationship with Huffman. Jeff has told Cady that Larry has OCD and since she is an OCD patient, she develops a special bond with Larry. Larry finds he's tipping way too often. Larry has only big bills & Larry promises the car doorman to tip him later. Then his gives his luggage guy $20 and asks him to split it with the car doorman. He then attempts to use his 10th anniversary gift from Cheryl. He goes on a date with a woman he meets in the hotel lobby. The woman is really into Larry and loves spicy food. But Larry puts too much Tabasco sauce on his food and starts to sweat and choke because of it. The woman is put off and she leaves Larry.
Larry is constantly confused whether he is supposed to tip or not in a particular situation. The luggage guy never gave the car doorman the $10, so Larry ended up giving another $10 to the car doorman. Larry ends up giving many of the hotel staff tickets to the opening. David loses his watch & Larry finds it on the cart of a cleaning lady. Larry leaves a message for David & gets David all excited. But then Jerry loses the watch, bumming David out. David wants Larry to buy him a new watch. Cady support Larry.
While walking into the theatre for rehearsals, Larry runs into a couple who wants Larry to take a photo of them with their camera (they know Larry is a star in the show as they have seen his picture on the poster). Larry wants the photo taken vertically, but the husband wants it horizontally. The couple get into a fight and Larry is in a hurry. Larry tries to walk away without a photo. The husband gets angry that Larry is trying to walk out, and curses Larry to fail on stage.
Larry acts all OCD in front of Cady but ends up damaging his credibility in front of the rest of the crew. But Larry has impressed Cady enough that she wants to be his 10th anniversary "gift". She invites him to her room, but Larry sees that she has a photo of George Bush in her room. She is a Republican, and that turns Larry off.
Larry finds that a repairman, whom Larry had tipped, has David's watch. Larry forces the repairman to return the watch. David is thrilled to have his watch back. Larry is still curious what David told the stewardess on the plane.
Stephen Colbert has a cameo appearance as an irate audience member; Jerry Seinfeld has a short cameo in the audience. Larry opens on Broadway with The Producers and forgets his lines during the performance. But he improvises, retorts to stand-up comedy, pulls the crowd back in and then remembers his lines and carries on with the show. On stage, Larry and David put aside their differences and blow the audience away.
Unexpectedly, Mel Brooks isn't impressed. Turns out Mel had hired Larry as he was sure that Larry would ruin the show. Mel was sick of producing the show and could not shut it down by himself, as it was successful. He wanted Larry to ruin the show, so Mel could shut it down and get on with his life. The show is a massive hit & Mel is devastated.
