He is next seen at the [[Krusty Krab]] waiting happily to leave and get started on his show. SpongeBob overhears him talking and asks why he is so jittery, but Squidward plugs up his ears with [[Krabby Patties]] and leaves before SpongeBob can ask.
SpongeBob then brings Patrick in and they start messing up the show. Squidward tells them to leave, but they refuse to do so. Squidward then gives both of them jobs for the show. Patrick becomes the cameraman and SpongeBob controls the microphone, but they make the show even worse. Mr. Krabs finds out and uses the show as a free advertisement to promote his restaurant, the Krusty Krab. Sandy watches the show and then starts line-dancing on-air. Then Pearl watches the show and decides to show her cheerleading on-air. Plankton watches the show and thinks he could cause more damage with his ray gun. Once he appears, he starts firing his ray gun, which ruins the entire set. Plankton shouts "Eat at the Chum Bucket or perish!" Squidward begins to cry because his show is ruined.

An outraged Squidward tells them all to leave and asks them if this is some sort of housewarming. Larry overhears it and everybody comes into his house. The producer comes in and tells Squidward that the show is going great. However, he reveals that public access standards gave the show very little ratings with a small amount of money in a tiny money bag. He then kicks a few people out, including Squidward.
The show is then renamed ''[[Squidward's House Party]]'', which does not include Squidward. Instead, it has Zeus the Guitar Lord hosting. It also has Patrick on the drums, Sandy and Pearl as back-up dancers, SpongeBob on electric keyboard, Mr. Krabs as advertisement, and Plankton as the special effects master. Squidward is annoyed by all the noise while trying to sleep, as the episode ends.

If you were looking for the article about the talk show, then see Squidward Chat.
The episode begins with Squidward waking up at 5:00 AM to watch Fab and Fancy! on the channel known as Bikini Bottom Public Access. But to his surprise, the show has been canceled and is replaced with Zeus the Guitar Lord. Squidward then finds out that they give TV shows to anyone. He then calls the network and gets his TV show.
He is next seen at the Krusty Krab waiting happily to leave and get started on his show. SpongeBob overhears him talking and asks why he is so jittery, but Squidward plugs up his ears with Krabby Patties and leaves before SpongeBob can ask why. Squidward is at his house preparing for Squidward Chat. But SpongeBob then finds out and rushes to Squidward's house to tell him.
Squidward angry.
SpongeBob then brings Patrick in and they start messing up the show. Squidward tells them to leave, but they refuse to do so. Squidward then gives both of them jobs for the show. Patrick becomes the cameraman and SpongeBob controls the microphone, but they make the show even worse. Mr. Krabs finds out and uses the show as a free advertisement to promote his restaurant, the Krusty Krab. Sandy watches the show and then starts line-dancing on-air. Then Pearl watches the show and decides to show her cheerleading on-air. Plankton watches the show and thinks he could cause more damage with his ray gun.
