As NBS's successful sketch comedy Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip celebrates its 20th season on the air, the show's executive producer, Wes Mendell (Judd Hirsch), is growing increasingly frustrated with the network. When he is forced to remove a sketch that the network fears will offend Christians, it's the final straw for Wes. Interrupting the show's live screening, he launches into a tirade, leaving NBS and Studio 60 in the midst of a PR disaster. To save the show, the newly appointed NBS president Jordan McDeere (Amanda Peet) must somehow convince former writers Matt Albie (Matthew Perry) and Danny Tripp (Bradley Whitford) to return to Studio 60 and take the wheel.
