Liz Johnson.

This is so exciting!

You've had a fine career,

but really became a household name

as the star of "Up, Up And No Way."

Yes, indeed.

That show brought nothing but fame and fortune.

There wasn't a red carpet premiere that I wasn't invited to.

I can honestly say thanks to hard work and dedication,

every single one of my Hollywood dreams have come true.

Here you go, sugar.

What else can I get for you?

And despite having the entire world

watching my every move...

I was about to see how lonely I truly was.

Hi guys.

Thank you so much for joining live.

What happened?

- Have you seen "Snakes in the Grass" yet?

Binged it, I hated it.

- What about "A Rose By Any Other Name"?

It's too much sex.

Loved it.

That Bill James is mm, mm, mm.

I like his nose though.

- Girl, in real life you would deal.

In real life?

Yes, I would deal.

I know.

Who is it now?

Ethel, it's her.

Liz Johnson! - Liz Johnson!

Oh God.

Okay, I'll call Dr. Rose.

And I'll call TMZ.

I mean the other doctor, just in case.

Well, hello, Ms. Johnson.

It's great to see you awake.

How long was I asleep?

We'll get to that.

How are we feeling?

- Like I stopped a truck with my whole body.

- And what's the last thing you remember?

I was hiking, I think.

Wait, did I stop a truck with my whole body?

- No, but you have a pretty nasty spill.

You've got some definite-

Let me see my phone.

Oh, dear God.

Makeup is gonna have a field day.

How long was I out?

- Technically you've been in a coma.

A coma?

Yeah.

For about three months.

Three months?

That's six episodes.

My show can't go on without me.

Were we canceled?

Well, I don't know about that,

but we do need to discuss your health, Ms. Johnson.

You said three months.

Why are my flowers still alive?

- No one knew like how long you'd be out,

so your colleague sent plastic flowers.

Hi, Ms. Johnson.

My name is Betty and I have been a-

Plastic?

Did you say plastic flowers?

My name is Ethel.

I remember first seeing you in "I'm Blind, Am I Outside-"

Get me some mineral water

and some chai tea with a dash of vanilla.

And I do mean a dash.

And then I need you to get my managers on the phone.

- Okay, excuse me. - Let's go.

Ms. Johnson, these are nurses.

They're not personal assistants.

- I'm sure everybody inside of this is doing fine.

I'm having a crisis.

Yes you are.

You've got fractured ribs, lingering signs of a concussion.

- You know what, I just need to get back on set.

I can...

Ooh!

Like I said, fractured ribs.

Ms. Ethel, would you be a dear

and please get some pain meds for Ms. Johnson.

Yes, doctor.

Let me see that card.

- Ms. Johnson, you'll have plenty of time

to look over your correspondence.

You're not leaving anytime soon.

- Sounds like the paparazzi was right about her.

- Glad medicine knocked her out before I did.

Okay, ladies, she may be rude,

but she is one of our guests.

Some lemon.

Get some lemon.

No way.

No way.

No way.

- The big news today is that Liz Johnson

has woken up from her coma.

It seems like America's newest star

was on the set of hit sitcom "Up, Up and No Way."

Woo, time flies when you're having fun.

At least that's what Liz's cast member said

soon after her accident.

Oh, this is good.

I'm sorry she was in a coma.

I hope she gets better soon.

But things have been a lot more productive around here.

- I ought to rip out those curls.

- Liz was a great star of the show,

and I don't mean this in a bad way,

but now so many of us have gotten a chance

to spread our wings and show what we can really do.

Oh, good one.

What are you, 15?

- Look, I don't wanna speak Ill of the dead,

but Liz was-

She's not dead.

She was in a coma.

- Well, her career is dead, so...

Look, I gotta get back to work.

The show must go on or whatever.

Ouch.

Hardly words of encouragement from Johnson's

fellow cast members.

Or should I say former fellow cast members.

Producers have yet to say if Johnson will return

or if she's been permanently replaced.

No one replaces Liz Johnson.

- She's calling right now!

- Did you say that Liz Johnson's on FaceTime?

Well, guys, we have a treat for you.

Liz Johnson is calling us directly from her hospital bed.

Liz, are you there?

I'm here, Nichelle.

Oh, Liz.

It is so great to see you.

I am so glad-

- Oh, save it for someone who cares.

I heard what you said about me,

and I just want everyone to know that I...

No...

- Well, it looks like Liz Johnson

might not be ready for prime time just yet.

Cut.

Oh my God, that's disgusting.

What is wrong with her?

Please, Ms. Johnson.

Just don't do anything too drastic, okay?

You're healing quite nicely.

If you just follow instructions and rest,

we'll have you outta here in a few days.

Ms. Johnson.

It's just a phone call,

although I can't promise that I won't puke again

because I'm calling my reps.

You know, if you really wanna be useful,

get Betsy and Agnes to bring me some Perrier.

And cold this time.

None of that tap water crap.

- Okay, it's Betty and Ethel, and all we have is tap water.

See you tomorrow.

It's Edna.

I'm likely in a life or death meeting right now.

You know what to do after the beep.

- You have some nerve not picking up the phone when I call.

I have been in a coma for three months.

This phone should ring one time.

Once!

This is the 15th time I've called.

Beefcake.

You'll call me back?

Yes, well, I won't hold my breath.

Can you let him know Liz Johnson has woken from her slumber.

I'm out of a coma.

Where's Bob?

No, I'm not dead.

98.6.

Your vitals are back to normal.

Dr. Rose says you can go home today.

Today?

And he couldn't come tell me himself?

He's busy with other patients.

You want these flowers?

No.

Throw them all in the trash.

Except that card.

I want the card.

God, please don't let me regret this.

- Liz Johnson, as I live and breathe.

We were so worried about you.

Ow.

Oh, ow, ow.

Oh my gosh, of course.

I'm so sorry.
