Der Guru (1998)
Wir befinden uns im Amerika unserer Tage: Ein Teleshopping-Sender verkauft Dinge, die der Mensch nicht braucht. Allerdings mit abnehmendem Erfolg. Hinzu kommt, daß ein der Guru G plötzlich den Fernsehzuschauern zu verkünden beginnt: Das braucht ihr nicht. Doch das stört die Zuschauer nicht. Im Gegenteil: Sie beginnen wie wild, die nutzlosen Konsumartikel zu ordern. Als die Fernsehmacher dies entdecken, kommt ihnen eine wahnwitzige Idee. Sie wollen sich den Guru zunutze machen und geben ihm eine eigene Sendung, den "G-Spot". Programmchef Ricky, der gerade noch vor der Kündigung stand, wird von seinem Boss McBainbridge damit beauftragt Guru G unter Vertrag zu nehmen. Die Sendung schlägt ein wie eine Bombe, G bringt alles an den Mann. Er schafft sogar das zu verkaufen, was eigentlich niemand haben will.
