The Mogul

Bite-the-hand-that-feeds satirical comedy that takes a swipe at the TV industry.

Sure that he can do better than what's being served up on his local TV channel, New York trucking owner Vic De Salvo (Danny DeVito) sends his ideas off to the station boss.

With his head already on the block, the outgoing station programmer decides to throw a spanner in the works by giving one of Vic's third-rate ideas the green light.

But when his new show becomes an overnight ratings success, Vic soon finds himself the saviour of the industry.
