The movie stars Robert De Niro as Rupert Pupkin, a nerdish man in his 30s who fantasizes himself as a television star. He practices down in his basement, holding condescending conversations with life-size cardboard cutouts of Liza Minnelli and Jerry Lewis.
Synopsis. Set in New York City, Rupert Pupkin (Robert De Niro) is a simplistic, driven, and uncool wanna-be comic wanting to break into show business as he is seen stalking his idol Jerry Langford (Jerry Lewis), a quiet, tired Johnny Carson-like cardboard cut-out of himself.
