- Original title
- The Lot
- Storyline
- The show opens with the "gossip of the day" in which a Hedda-Hopper-ized Holland Taylor mixes tales of the studio era, circa 1937, with the behind-the-scenes stories of our friends at the mythical Silver Screen Pictures. The plot then develops, often containing crude references to real-life stars of yesteryear combined with failed attempts at witty dialogue and often-inconceivable plot points, such as random "raids" on various parties and clubs, although prohibition ended four years earlier. The show ends the same way it began, with a sometimes drunk Hedda/Holland giving us a bit of "juicy gossip" about our "favorite" stars, then proceeding to insult them once her radio minute is over.
