Based on the motion picture of the same name, My Favorite Year takes place in 1954 and follows the story of Benjy Stone, a sketch writer for the King Kaiser Comedy Cavalcade, a live television variety show. Alan Swann, a one-time movie idol whose career has since declined due to his addiction to alcohol and loose women, is signed on for a guest appearance. The task of keeping Swann sober and celibate until airtime falls to Benjy, who soon finds himself involved in a sequence of shenanigans unlike any he ever experienced before.
