- I'm here at Madison High in Maplewood, New Jersey,
where ninth grader Rachel Klein isn't bringing
just any date to her school dance tonight.
She is bringing singing sensation ChaseDreams.
Chase posted he was coming
to his 10 million followers
so fans from all over the tristate area
came out just to catch a glimpse.
And it looks like Chase is pulling up now.
The fans are going crazy.
It's a little scary, to be honest.
[screaming, shouting]
He's walking in with his lucky date
and what appears to be an old Backstreet Boy.
And now a second SUV has pulled up.
Did Chase bring some celeb friends?
[crowd quiets]
Oh, no. Never mind. It's his parents.
And it looks like they had him old.
[energetic music]
- Thank you for coming. This is will be such
a special night for the students.
- Well, Chase is so happy to be here.
- Oh, my God, that reminds me.
I gotta get him out of the wall.
both: What? - Yeah, I knew the fans
out front would be real crazy, so I snuck him in
through the ventilation system.
[grunting]
- I think a mouse bit me.
- [laughs] That's Hollywood, baby!
- Oh, my God. - Um, Streeter,
when you said you were gonna
sneak him in I thought you meant, like,
through the back. - Oh, this is what
the hottest celebrities do. They crawl through the walls,
and then they have a decoy come in the front.
Speaking of which, great job, Lorraine.
- Hey, if you're happy, I'm happy.
- [laughs] Isn't this unbelievable?
I found her about two hours ago online.
She is a handful, but they're basically the same height.
- Okay, well thank you, Lorraine.
You can just go ahead and wait in the car.
- Are you sure you don't need me to stick around
and play other roles? I'm also an actor.
- [under breath] Oh, no. - I do accents, impressions.
I have some costumes in the car.
- That's okay. Thank you, Lorraine.
- [British accent] Then good eve, my lords and ladies.
[normal voice] British. - I could have sworn
that was French, but then when she said
British I was like, [snaps fingers] "Yep."
Okay, well let's get you two lovebirds
out on the dance floor 'cause we gotta be out of here in...
45.
- Wait, we do? - Yep.
Chase got an invite to the launch party
of Lil Wayne's new tequila.
I really want to meet him.
I mean, Chase wants to meet him.
- He can't even drink. He's 13.
- Ages are for regular people, okay?
He's a singer. [cell phone buzzing]
What are we talking about here?
- Oh, sorry. I gotta take this. It's my agent.
- Cary, I've got some good news,
and I've got some bad news.
The good news is
I submitted you for the lead
in the next Marvel movie.
- What? That's...
That's insane. Thank you, Skip.
- The bad news is
they said that's not the way it works, okay?
They don't just take submissions for that.
- Then why did you call me?
- I thought you called me.
- [sighs] Good-bye, Skip.
- Okay, buh-bye.
Ladies, can I interest you in a new kitchen?
- Okay, okay, here's what we're gonna do.
Chase and Rachel, you're gonna dance to exactly five songs.
While they're doing that,
Streeter and I are gonna pass out merch.
- Oh, wait till you see what it is.
Streety crushed it. - I bet he didn't.
- Then, Chase is gonna take pictures for 20 minutes.
Anybody who posts one should use the same hashtag.
- Chom. - What?
- Chom. It's a combo of Chase and Prom.
- Okay, or since it's not prom,
why don't we do #DreamDance? - Boo.
- And when is he doing his live performance?
- Oh, uh yeah, we got some bummer news on that front.
C.D. has to be in the studio early tomorrow morning
so he is on strict vocal rest.
No singing. Not talking. All night.
- Then why did he come to this?
- No, no, no. No, it's gonna be great.
He's gonna lip-sync. No one's gonna be able to tell.
Streeter said he figured the whole thing out.
- Yeah, I'll take care of the singing.
- Excuse me? - Ah! God, who's that?
- That's Chase's date. You rode here with her?
- Can we go dance now?
- Hang on, hang on. Just, uh--we talked about the--
Then we went through, um...
Yeah, I think we're good. Yeah, you can go.
Go have fun.
Come on. Go, go, go. Have fun quickly.
Run, bitch! [snapping]
Sorry. Sorry, sorry.
- She's new.
[pulsing dance music playing]
- What up, Madison High!
Is everyone having fun tonight? [all cheering]
Special shout-out to Rachel and ChaseDreams.
You guys having fun? - Whoo!
- You know it! Keep going, everybody.
- Hey, thanks for being my date tonight, Car.
- Yes, of course. Yeah.
You want to hear something sad?
This is my tenth high school dance with a girl.
- [laughs] Aw.
I mean, at least you got to go to dances.
I was already in New York. - Oh, yeah.
They didn't have dances at that school?
- No, we studied dance.
We didn't, like, do dances at night too.
- Mm. What would you do?
- Drugs, Cary.
- Ah, yeah. - [humming]
Hey, cool hair.
You sing? - No, I play soccer.
- Perfect. Okay, athletes make the best singers.
Meet me in the library in 20 minutes,
and, uh, bring your ball.
[cackles]
- Hi, you're a music manager? - Yes.
- ♪ And your keys, ooh
♪ Your ring of keys
So, what did you think?
- I think you're gonna make an excellent veterinarian.
- Okay, here's a fun thing.
Which one of these kids were you at 14?
- [gasps] Oh, my God. Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Oh [blows raspberry] No brainer.
That one. Fun, confident. - Yeah.
- Dress fully tucked up into her asshole.
- [chuckles] - She's living.
- Well, there's me. - Aw.
- That is definitely me. - Oh, yeah.
- Oh, n--never mind.
And, damn!
- Hi, I'm Elijah.
Are you CaryDreams?
- Uh-- - Yes.
- Yes, he is.
- Do you want to dance?
♪
- Sure. Yeah. Yeah, buddy.
- Just promise you'll never hurt me.
- Oh, uh, I promise.
- Hi. We have a problem.
- Ugh, what did Streeter do?
- Nope, it's your brother.
He's in the bathroom with some boys smoking.
- He is?
Oh, sh...
Thank you.
[slow, romantic song plays]
♪
- You know I want to be in the industry too.
- Like, an actor? - No.
I want to run Hollywood.
I'm gonna sit on the top floor of a very tall building
and be in charge of everyone.
[chuckles] - Oh.
Cool.

[mouthing words]
- [mouthing words]
Excuse me, sir. You have a phone call.
It's 9-1...1, yeah. They called you.
It's an emergency. - Oh.
Thank you. - Uh-huh.
- Sorry, Elijah.
- [stammers]
- Very good lie. So real.
- I know. Sorry, I panicked.
[both chuckle] - Okay, I gotta go do rounds.
Just walk around the school and make sure
kids aren't having sex.
Do you...wanna come?
- Oh. Yeah.
- Cool. I'm Jeremy by the way.
- Hey, Cary.
[dark music]
- Oh, my God. Chase, what are you doing?
This is--
Lorraine?
- [Australian accent] G'day mate.
[normal voice] Australian.
- Why are you not in the car?
- I was just telling these boys
about my favorite acting role.
I was an extra on the pilot of "ER."
- If I think about that for too long I could cry.
- I was also this close to being an Olympic skater.
But my mom wouldn't buy me skates.
- Lorraine. Car. Now.
- I can't believe you're the drama teacher.
Ours was so old. I was like, thir..ty. Oh.
Whoa.
- Yeah. Our teachers were not old.
- Oh, God. - Let me guess.
You were the lead in all your plays too?
- You know it. Yep.
No, our theater program was actually really good, so.
- Okay, no offense,
but literally every high school play is bad.
Even the good high school plays are bad.
- No, no, I mean we did "Fiddler on the Roof"
and I think if I saw it now
I would still think it was good.
- Did you play Tevye?
- Yeah. - So you were a gay child
playing a 40-year-old Russian peasant?
- Yes, but--but I think I pulled it off.
- You didn't. - Oh, my God.
- No high school kid ever has.
- No, you're right. I had braces.
What? [chuckles] [woman moaning]
- Hey, break it up. - It's teachers!
It's Mark and Diane! - Oh, sorry, guys.
They're trying to have a baby.
- Oh, that's sweet.
- Sorry, I just need to know where you are at all times
for your safety. - But Rachel wanted--
- Shh, no talking. Just--just dance.
- The swag has arrived.
[as Austin Powers] "The swag baby, yeah."
- Why are you doing Austin Powers?
- What do you mean?
- Okay, let's just pass these out.
What'd you get, like T-shirts or...?
Are these surge protectors?
- Okay, here's the thing.
So last week I was ordering
10 surge protectors for my house,
and I accidentally typed in 1,000.
- Why did you need ten for your house?
- Well, you can never have too many surge protectors.
- I guess you can?
Whatever, just go. Pass--pass them out.
So, Rachel, is it a dream come true to be dancing with Chase?
- Yeah, he's a great dancer-- - Okay, that's great
'cause you have 20 more seconds.
- Chase makes your electric. Hold on to that.
[chuckles] Stay plugged in, all right?
Chase wants you to have this for your electric.
- What is this crap?
- Oh, bad boy.
Meet me in the library in ten minutes.
And stay mad.
- So were you out in high school?
- Um, yeah.
Tenth grade. You? - Hm.
Uh, senior year of, um, college.
- Oh, ew. - I know, I know, I know.
- College? - Yeah, it's very late.
But, um-- - No, to each their own.
- [laughs] - No judgement.
- Wait.
What play are you guys doing?
- I don't want to tell you.
- I mean, it looks like "Grease" on Mars?
- That's literally what it is. - Are you serious?
- Every couple years the kids beg me to do "Grease."
So I've done "Grease" in World War II.
"Grease" in a women's prison. - Oh.
- And now "Grease" on Mars, baby!
- You've done a great job. [woman moaning]
- Hey, break it up! - It's teachers.
It's Tom and Lisa. - Oh. Sorry.
- Are they trying to have a baby, too?
- No, that one's an affair. - Oh.
- What up, what up? Big announcement!
ChaseDreams is now taking photos for the next 20.
- Oh, don't forget to use the #DreamDance.
- I thought it was chom.
That's what my surge protector says.
- It does? - Yeah.
In really bad handwriting.
- [sighs] What is that man doing tonight?
- Okay, kids. You are now...
a boy band. Huh? Ha-ha!
You're the bad boy, you're the hot one,
you're the pirate, you're the gay guy.
You gay? - No.
- Any of you guys gay? all: No.
- Okay, congrats. You're the gay one.
And you're...
the dud. All right.
Welcome to the first day
of the rest of your life.
And I will be right there by your side.
[poignant music] When you laugh,
I'll laugh.
When you cry,
I'll cry.
And when you dance,
I'll watch you dance. So what do you say?
- Pass. - No thanks.
- I just want to go dance.
- Do any of you have any younger brothers?
- Okay, I've been asked to announce
we have another celebrity here taking pics.
Apparently she was in "ER."
It also says she can drive stick?
- [under breath] God damn it.
- It's so pretty out here.
Makes me wanna go to a football game.
- Makes you want to sit and watch a full football game?
- No, no. I guess it just makes me wanna
watch "Friday Night Lights."
[both chuckle]
So how long have you lived out here?
- Uh, pretty much right after NYU I got this job.
I just never wanted to do the whole working actor thing
and still be waiting tables at age 30.
- Totally, yeah.
- Oh, no. Do you wait tables?
- Yeah, yeah. - Ah, shit.
I didn't literally mean waiting tables.
That's just the cliché thing you say.
- No. No, no, no. It's fine.
I'm literally living the cliché thing you say, so...
[breathes deeply]
- And action. [laughs]
- Why are you not in the car?
- This young man wants to be an actor too.
Anyway, I'll never forget what Geena Davis said to me
on the set of "Stuart Little."
"Either you go or I go."
- Lorraine. I will give you $100 if you go sit in the car.
- Whoa. That's ten times more
than what I got paid to come here.
- You did this for $10?
- Well, $5 after taxes. $4 after my agent.
$3 after my manager. So $3. $3.
♪
- You should go to law school.
- You know, I think I could actually live here.
- Whoa. This is moving a little fast.
- Oh. No, I didn't mean, um,
here here, I just meant-- - Dude.
Chill. - [laughs]
Okay.
- Uh, it's teachers.
- You bitches! - Oh, no.
- How? How could you do this to me?
- Elijah, go back to the dance, please.
- Stay out of this, Jeremy.
Haven't you done enough for one night?
- Again, you need to call me "Mr. Delongpre."
- And you...
I told you my dreams.
We danced together. Did that mean nothing to you?
- I don't know how to answer that.
- Typical.
Good-bye, Cary Dubek.
But just tell me one more thing before I go.
Was that really 911 on the phone for you?
- No.
- [breathy] Wow.
[hip-hop music playing]
- What up, what up?
It's the moment we've all been waiting for.
He's got hundreds of millions of views on YouTube
and tonight he's performing live
with the song that made him famous.
Give it up for ChaseDreams!
[cheers and applause]
[pulsing electronic music playing]
- Sorry again he's lip-syncing. - That's okay.
Did the DJ have the right track for him to sing to?
- I'm assuming so. Streeter said
he was taking care of the singing.

Okay, well, I am so lucky. Thank you.
Goodnight.

How do you think that went?

we're leaving now? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're done. You can go sit in the car.
And don't talk. - But I wanna dance.
These kids are fun. - Oh, I'm sorry, bud.
But, you know, you'll have plenty of dances to go to
when you get to high school. - I'm not going to high school.
I already graduated on Streeter's phone.
- Yeah. - Oh, no, that was--
That was just the eighth grade. - No.
He went through the whole high school too.
I mean, this guy tore through the app.
He's a smart little dude. Ah! [laughs]
Hey, why don't you go say good-bye to your date,
and then we'll meet [as Lil Wayne] Lil Wayne!
- No. No.
He's not going to that. He's staying here.
- Oh. No can do, chica.
I mean, I burned a lot of bridges to get him that invite.
So it'd be poor form if he didn't show up.
- Well, he's not gonna show, so why don't you do your job
for the first time tonight and figure it the fuck out.
- Whoa. Who's that?
- That's my sister.
- Yeah, dur. I meant the guy in all white
with the Kangol. - Oh, that's nobody.
- Okay, boss, I, uh, hear you.
I admit I had a few missteps tonight.
But I think there's one thing that we can agree
that I did not mess up, and that's Lorraine.
Her entrance was perfect, and she's been sitting out
in the car all night just like we asked her too.
So [snaps fingers] here's what we're gonna do.
We're gonna have Lorraine come to the tequila party,
put on sunglasses and a hoodie,
and Lil Wayne will never notice, and then Chase
can have his night off.
- Streeter, that's...
That's an amazing idea.
I'm sorry I yelled at you.
You really--you saved the night.
Thank you.
- No. Thank you.
And I promise I will...
I will not mess up again.
Okay? [laughs] Okay.
Take the night off.
Uh-oh! Somebody's hooking up tonight!

living here, but then I wouldn't be able to read.

Maybe I should just quit and move somewhere like this.
My life in New York is not that great.
I'm a waiter and I basically live in a closet.
- Okay, well I literally live in a closet,
so let's not be rude.
Also, Cary, being a waiter is temporary.
- What if it's not?
I'm 28 and I just
shot a commercial where I smell a fart.
I feel like if I was gonna be a famous actor
it would have happened by now.
Maybe I just missed my wave.
- Oh.
You are so dumb.
- What?
- Chase is your wave. - Ew, no.
- He could be.
Cary, I'm gonna say this with love.
You are not above all of this.
- I know I-- - I just--I feel like you had
this romantic vision of how this whole thing
was gonna play out for you, and sometimes it just
doesn't happen that way.
It happens in a million weird ways.
Maybe Chase is your weird way.
