One December Night

This program is rated G

and is suitable for general audiences.

The breakout duo of the decade.

Two boys from Pineville

now selling out arenas across the country.

Please welcome Bedford and Sullivan.

Hey folks, how you doing tonight?

What a great audience.

The world renowned musical duo

keeps recording hit after hit.

One December Night stays on the top of the chart

for the sixth week in a row.

After multiple gold records,

Steve Bedford and Mike Sullivan are calling it quits.

This may be the end of our favorite duo.

Hopefully this isn't the last

of Bedford and Sullivan.

Yes, hi, it's Quinn Allen.

You saw Addison's review in Pitchfork, right?

Of course she can sell out a theater.

I understand what you're saying,

but I think that you're missing the bigger picture here.

There's more to music than just streaming numbers.

I mean, that's why they don't write songs on calculators,

am I right?

Hello?

Thank you so much.

Quinn.

Oh. Peppermint mocha.

Thank you. Addison, you are so amazing.

Any luck?

Not yet, but I'm going to get you booked

on a big tour soon enough.

I believe in you.

I won't let you down.

Cheers. Cheers.

Okay, stay warm.

Thank you, I needed this.

I'm gonna get to work, I will be in touch.

Okay.

Bye. Bye.

You good?

Addison is the best singer-songwriter

since Joni Mitchell.

Can't even get her booked in a coffee shop.

Some of those Starbucks are huge.

I told her to move to New York.

I told her to take a smaller advance.

And if I can't get her booked on a big tour...

What?

She's in a pretty deep hole.

How deep?

Haven't found the bottom yet.

You know, Jay Savant needs an opener.

Maybe I convince Dianne, to book Addison.

What's that for?

To remind myself why I do this.

Who's that?

Oh, this is Addison Reed, it is from her new album.

Can you turn it down? People are trying to work.

Jason what's this I hear

you can't keep your stars in the same room?

Steve Bedford's my client.

We all know, no one's crazy enough to manage Mike Sullivan.

So how are you involved, exactly?

I was asked for my assistance, so here I am.

Moved by the Christmas spirit, I'm sure.

Don't look a gift reindeer in the mouth, Jason.

So the network called?

No, the producer.

Troy.

He's my nephew.

Hmm.

That makes sense.

He told me you two needed help,

and I have just the person in mind.

Well, thank you, Dianne, but no, we-

Troy?

That's work-related, right?

Allen.

We're walking.

What can you tell me about Bedford and Sullivan?

The musical duo?

No, the magicians.

Yes, the duo.

I mean, they're legends.

But they broke up years ago.

10 years ago.

And then you know what happened in Alberta?

Mike Sullivan got so drunk he couldn't even play guitar.

And they never shared a stage again.

Until now.

In three weeks, Bedford and Sullivan are reuniting

live on network TV, Christmas From Big Red.

Okay, but they're not even our clients.

Familiar with quid pro quo?

Yes.

Seems Mike is making things difficult.

So, I told the network I'd send somebody over.

Me?

Mm.

Wouldn't Brooke be better? She's very persuasive.

I considered Brooke, but you're still my first choice.

Why?

Because Mike Sullivan is your father.

We background check all the employees, nothing personal.

Allen's your mother's maiden name, yeah?

You're Mike's daughter, you can talk some sense into him.

Sorry.

You'll have to find someone else.

Oh, we all have fathers.

Hm.

Okay.

Fine.

I'll do it, on one condition.

Jay Savant needs an opener.

Book Addison Reed.

She's ready.

Quid pro quo.

Christmas From Big Red goes to air,

Addison's got her tour.

She actually, she could be a star given the right guidance.

Pick a couple of songs she can play

before Bedford and Sullivan.

Wh...

You want her to open the show?

But what about the network?

Let me worry about the network.

Dianne, thank you.

Talk to Elaine. She'll set you up with a car.

We need you in Pineville by tomorrow.

Quinn.

Addison isn't the only one who's ready.

Get that show to air.

-Good morning. -Morning.

My office made the reservation.

Should be under Quinn Allen.

Sorry, I'm not seeing a reservation under Allen.

Quinn, uh, Sullivan?

Oh, there you are.

Second floor.

Wait, Sullivan?

No relation.

Enjoy your stay.

Thank you.

And make sure to book the tour soon.

Tickets are selling out fast this year.

Tour?

The world famous Bedford and Sullivan Bus Tour.

See where they first met, played their first show.

And Big Red, the house

where they recorded their greatest album.

I'll think about it.

Thank you again, Principal Wilkes.

Pineville doesn't have many options for rehearsal space,

so I appreciate it.

Oh, it's no problem at all.

The kids are getting a real kick out of big stars

-using the theater. -Hey.

Big?

Well sure, I have gained a little weight.

Hi, Steve Bedford. How you doin'?

Now we're guests here and that's exactly how we'll behave.

You make yourself at home.

Let me know if you need anything.

I can't wait to see the show.

If there is a show.

Let me guess, no word from Mike?

No, we knew what we signed up for.

Memory has a way of playing tricks.

Oh, I do have some good news.

Check this out.

What is it?

That's your bobblehead.

A bobblehead?

Why do I need a bobblehead?

'Cause last week you asked for a bobblehead.

Right. Okay.

So, do you like it?

I mean, it's just a prototype.

No, it's great.

I look pretty good as a bobblehead.

You're kidding me.

Excuse me? I'm looking for Steve Bedford's manager?

I don't know his name, but I was told that he would be here.

Just a second.

Yeah, I'm actually...

Quinn.

Jason.

You're Steve's manager?

They have the best pumpkin pie here.

You know, dad actually used to have it delivered

to the city after we moved?

I always make it a point to grab a slice when I'm in town.

Do you come back often?

Yeah, pretty often.

How long did you say that you've been your dad's manager?

Five, maybe six years.

-How long, Jason? -It's not what you think.

You scammed my dad out of his half of the publishing.
