Malcolm & Eddie - Season 1 Episode 5

Following a slow first day as the owners of Kelly's, Eddie suggests something he's sure will bring in a crowd — an appearance by the pop music star formerly known as Prince. Although sure his partner is kidding, Malcolm is surprised when a fax confirms the singer for their grand re-opening party. Meanwhile, when Malcolm tries using the news to impress Bridget, he's surprised to learn that she once dated the singer. On the night of the big event, Kelly's is packed. As Malcolm cheerfully works the room and even gives Eddie the money to buy a new air compressor for the garage, a phone call reveals that the guest of honor's plane has been grounded, leaving them without their big attraction. And though Eddie tries to break the bad news, Malcolm's enthusiasm makes it impossible. When Malcolm and Bridget come upstairs to check on their musical guest, Nicolette and Eddie keep them from learning that Prince isn't there. Using the rock star's wardrobe and make-up, Eddie then tries to convince the crowd that he's the singer. But when his efforts come apart right in front of the audience, Malcolm learns the truth. However, as they are planning to break the news to the hostile crowd, the partners are saved when singer Montell Jordan arrives to take the place of his friend, the Artist Formerly Known As Prince.
