Jane White's only ambition is to appear on a popular talk show.

Jane White is the twisted romantic comedy of a girl who thinks that Gerry King, the most insane talk show host on TV, is her father. Jane tries to do anything and everything to be on his show, and meet her long lost dad.—Anonymous

"Kim Little (from "Diagnosis Murder") stars as Jane, an unstable female version of "Being There"'s Chance the Gardener whose life is so wrapped up in television that she imagines the popular Jerry Springer clone "Gerry" (David L. Lander, aka Squiggy on "Laverne and Shirley") to be her long-lost father. Desperate to rejoin him and leave the orbit of her agoraphobic, overprotective mother (Alley Mills of "The Wonder Years") she sets out on a quest to become any kind of sideshow freak that could conceivably land a guest spot on "Gerry." Transvestites, aliens, serial killers and assorted weirdoes of all stripes come and go during the course of Jane's off-kilter Oz-like journey."—Wade Major, BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE
