The Comeback - Season 1 (2005)

Valerie fights to change a potentially offensive line written for Aunt Sassy.

Charla from The Amazing Race guest stars on "The Comeback", causing Valerie stress.

With the cast in a funk following Room and Bored's lackluster premiere, Valerie tries to boost morale with a late-night cookie delivery that gives new meaning to her trademark line, "I don't wanna see that!"

Valerie overhears the writers mocking her, and they write her a full episode in fear of retribution.

Valerie and Mark head to the desert for a long weekend in Palm Springs... with strings attached. While Mark draws the line with Jane's crew on the golf course, Valerie finds a new mentor in an old acquaintance.

At the insistence of the network, Room and Bored gets a makeover and two new cast members, spurring talk of a coup by the "original five". Meanwhile, Valerie spends some quality time with Franchesca and her rotten little friends.

With Juna getting all the hype and magazine covers, Valerie enlists a new publicist, Billy Stanton, to land her a cover. Billy scores a shoot for "Be Yoga", forcing Valerie to remodel her fitness room and take a yoga crash course.

Val's new publicist pressures her to get a picture on the red carpet with Juna.

Jane pulls rank on Tom and Paulie G. to get Valerie more lines on Room and Bored. Meanwhile, a stalker threat forces extra security on set, exposing old back problems as she's prepping for a big pratfall scene.

Valerie goes on Leno to slam "The Comeback" and quit on air.
