Episode Summary

Martin is chosen by his radio station manager to be the producer of a charity variety show for Aids. But in typical Martin Payne fashion, he lets the job go to his head, acts like a tyrant on the set, and alienates everyone around him, even Gina. In the end, Martin is left to do the whole show by himself, and bombs miserably.moreless

      • The song "Push" that Tisha Campbell (Gina) sings is also on her album Tisha, which was released on Capitol Records in 1993. Edit
      • In this episode Martin uses the phrase "poof be gone" which in return would spark the ever so popular "talk to the hand". This phrase has taken a life of it's own with many variations on Martin's original quote. Edit
