[edit] Plot

The episode opens with the entourage at the Vitali Klitschko vs Corrie Sanders fight at the Staples Center. As they leave after the fight, Turtle runs into some women who take the boys to the after party where Ari introduces Vince to Jimmy Kimmel. Jimmy then talks Vince into coming onto his show the following night, and tells Vince to say "hi" to his brother. Meanwhile, Drama and Turtle are hanging out with Luke Wilson who offers them advice on how to wangle a home theater setup from his friend Rufus.

The next morning, Drama (as the house chef) tries something new for breakfast, but it doesn't go over well. Eric then asks Vince if he wants to prep for Kimmel, and Drama flips out as, apparently, he had a falling out with Kimmel. E tells him he can't back out, and that he needs to prep so he won't tank like he did on Regis and Kelly. Things quickly devolve into the group berating E for seeing Kristen again, and then talking about how Vince can never break up with a girl.

Later on, Shauna helps Vince find an outfit for the show, but complains about not letting her set it up. While suit shopping Kimmel's assistant calls to schedule the pre-interview. E does the pre-interview while playing a round of golf with the guys, and Vince feeds him stuff to talk about, but none of it is very interesting. E then tells Vince that Sara Foster, who Vince had an unfinished fling with, will also be on the show, and then Turtle smashes into the cart from behind and they take off and leave Drama stranded.

Kristen picks up her stuff, and E flirts with her, and they make small talk that leads to "break-up sex". Turtle and Drama then visit Rufus to check out home theater systems, and work out a deal which involves one of them advertising his company on TV.

The guys go to the Kimmel show where Vince meets up with Sara Foster backstage, and the guys head to the green room. Vince apologises to Sara, and then they go into her dressing room, where we learn (later) that they have sex. Back in the green room, E finds Emily, and they decide to go outside for a smoke. Outside, E and Emily discuss their attempts at quitting smoking, and decide to share another smoke. Backstage, Ari runs into Sara Silverman, who sneaks him into the green room.

Onstage, Kimmel tells Sara and Vince that the FCC won't let them hold hands, to which Vince responds: "We just had sex five minutes ago." Jimmy then tries to talk about the movie, but Vince says he just wants to hang with Jim and not give away the plot of the movie. Vince then tries to find out what happened between Kimmel and Drama. Jimmy then calls Drama on stage. Drama goes onstage and makes up with Jimmy, and Vince plugs Home Video Solutions, as agreed with Rufus.
