Complete story — includes the ending

Fran, Val, and Gracie attend a taping of The Rosie O'Donnell Show and Fran is picked from the audience to talk to Rosie. She is so natural and funny that Rosie asks her to appear on the show as a regular guest to give parenting advice. C.C. jumps in as her agent, and Fran begins to experience life as a celebrity. Maxwell is concerned he may lose her and concocts a story about a dream he had where her grandmother's ghost told him something horrible would happen to Fran if she did not quit Rosie's show (a parody of the dream scene in Fiddler on the Roof ). Fran is soon fired and replaced by a retired couple (played by Fran Drescher's parents) from Florida. Special guest stars: Donald Trump and Marla Maples as themselves.
