When The Breakdown gets nominated for an award, Chuck and Katie try to make it about them and not the team or mother.
As the news came down that The Breakdown got nominated for an award, Chuck is filled with excitement. As does Katie and tries to make it about them. With Chuck, he abandoned his crew and hung out with his old hard new colleagues, who turns out to be at the end of their broadcasting careers with new changes. Katie, on the other hand, doesn't want her mother to be her plus one due to the previous times that she embarrassed her (like Kayneing Kayne West at a young talent show).
So Katie tells Carol that she couldn't come because of how Greg doesn't want anyone to bring a plus one, but that all changed when Carol signed up to be filled in seat person at the award show. Soon Katie realizes that she wanted her mother with her that was til Carol figured out that she's up for the same award for the best news show.
Chuck learns that he's doing better than the hiscounter part he calls friends in the news business. And after watching one get humiliated, he went back to his news team, who happens to be seated near the bathroom, and apologize to them for his actions and was welcomed back. And even though The Breakdown didn't win the best new show, they sure pulled a Kayne West on the winner, even if they helped refugees.
"Award Show" was another great half hour of comedy that brought in a lot of laughs and memorable moments. Briga Heelan and John Michael Higgins steal the episode with such sharp comedy, along with the other cast as well. The writing was excellent. Overall, I give this episode 8.5/10.
You can catch Great News Thursdays at 9:30/8:30c on NBC.
