Paul Rodriguez played aspiring TV comic Paul Rivera in this short-lived sitcom. He was dubbed Pablo by his Mexican-American family. Paul's routine was ethnic humor and as a result it did not always sit well with his family, especially his father Domingo.

Paul's jokes about his family delight Merv Griffin and his studio audience, but infuriate everyone watching at Paul's home.

Paul's stopped for speeding on his way to entertain at a Presidential dinner, and the police find his story hard to swallow when they find him wearing sneakers, carrying the wrong ID and packing his prop knife.
