Plot
Tom was explaining to everyone about his wish to earn his own reality show, filmed by Ginger. Suddenly, Angela hurries over because of Tom's urgent message, and he takes Angela to the bathroom to sing in it.

Tom keeps telling the audience about his life and he also sees Ben busy on his computer, and he and Tom talk about Ben's personality.

Angela gets out of the bathroom and tells Hank to take over. As well as introducing himself, he also introduces Ginger over to the audience. Meanwhile, Angela talks with Tom and Ben altogether. Soon, Tom and Ben together get into a little fight and an argument about how they both met each other.

As night falls, Tom feels a bit sad. He felt like he isn't able to convince the producers enough to give him his own reality show. When he explains it all to Hank, he suggests to turn it into a special Christmas audition video, and then comically, Santa Claus appears from the garage. He gives Tom advice that instead of trying to convince the producers to give him his own reality show, he could make the show himself. Then, Santa leaves off with his sleigh and reindeer.
