Storyline

Wayne is still living at home. He has a world class collection of name tags from jobs he's tried, but he does have his own public access TV show. A local station decides to hire him and his sidekick, Garth, to do their show professionally and Wayne & Garth find that it is no longer the same. Wayne falls for a bass guitarist and uses his and Garth's Video contacts to help her career along, knowing that Ben Oliver, the sleazy advertising guy who is ruining their show will probably take her away from him if they fail.

Trivia

When Wayne is interviewing the sponsor, played by Brian Doyle-Murray, he writes on the back of his index card, "This man has no penis". This may be an in-joke alluding to Ghostbusters, when Bill Murray (brother of Brian Doyle-Murray) says "This man has no dick". See more »

Goofs

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: 'Rob Lowe (I)''s character is listed as "Benjamin Oliver" in the credits, but when he first meets Wayne and Garth, he introduces himself as "Benjamin Cain." Contrary to popular belief, this isn't a goof, but a deliberate joke by the crew - a crew member's child had a friend named Oliver Benjamin. See more »
