However, the large corporation [[MegaCorp IBIS Global Capital]] undergoes a massive loss in its stock earnings, losing around $800 million dollars, allegedly, due to a computer glitch. Not long after, a deliveryman named Kyle bursts into the studio during one of Gates's shows and holds everyone inside hostage. Armed with a gun and fitting Gates with an explosive vest triggered by a DeadMansSwitch, Kyle demands that the broadcast continue and that the real reason behind IBIS's loss be made public. With his own personality and the help of his director Patty (Creator/JuliaRoberts), Gates must not only find out the truth behind the monetary loss, but also find out how to escape the situation alive.

* NeverMyFault: Played with. Kyle initially holds this viewpoint, blaming both Lee Gates for (exaggeratedly) suggesting his viewers buy IBIS stock and Walt Camby for allegedly [[spoiler: (later proven correct)]] causing the $800 million dollar loss. He conveniently ignores the fact that he himself had to willingly buy $60,000 worth of IBIS stock for this to happen, an amount that almost no middle or lower class American with a modicum of common sense would try to buy. He eventually [[HeelRealization realizes how wrong he is]] when [[spoiler: his pregnant girlfriend tears him a new one by pointing out how [[WhatAnIdiot moronic]] this action was.]] Now of course, this still doesn't change the fact that stupidity is less than a good reason to [[spoiler: swindle people of all their money]], but Kyle's continued denial of ''any'' kind of fault in the matter (he blames Lee more for his stage show promoting IBIS stock than his own personal decision to actually buy the stock) that makes him come off as this trope.
