Synopsis:
It's 1958 and Jack Parr is hosting The Tonight Show. He's booked his favorite guest, a pundit as hilarious as he is unpredictable: Oscar Levant, who once famously proclaimed, "There's a fine line between genius and insanity, and I have erased thast line." Oscar will have audiences howling, censors scrambling, and - when it's all over - America will be just a little less innocent than she was before.
