\n"Sally Milz is a sketch writer for \;The Night Owls\,&n bsp\;a late-night live comedy show that airs every Saturday. \;With a couple of heartbreaks under her belt\, she&rsquo\;s long abandoned the sea rch for love\, settling instead for the occasional hook-up\, career succes s\, and a close relationship with her stepfather to round out a satisfying life.
\nBut when Sally&rsquo\;s friend and fellow writer Danny Hors t begins dating Annabel\, a glamorous actress who guest-hosted the show\, he joins the not-so-exclusive group of talented but average-looking and ev en dorky men at the show&mdash\;and in society at large&mdash\;who&rsquo\; ve gotten romantically involved with incredibly beautiful and accomplished women. Sally channels her annoyance into a sketch called The Danny Horst Rule\, poking fun at this phenomenon while underscoring how unlikely it is that the reverse would ever happen for a woman.
\nEnter Noah Brewst er\, a pop music sensation with a reputation for dating models\, who signe d on as both host and musical guest for this week&rsquo\;s show. Dazzled b y his charms\, Sally hits it off with Noah instantly\, and as they collabo rate on one sketch after another\, she begins to wonder if there might act ually be sparks flying. But this isn&rsquo\;t a romantic comedy&mdash\;it& rsquo\;s real life. And in real life\, someone like him would never date s omeone like her . . . right?"
