In the exciting debut episode, 10 hopefuls come to Las Vegas in search of stardom and a shot at being called the Entertainer. The ultimate victor wins a slot in Wayne Newton's show and a headlining contract at the Las Vegas Hilton worth more than $1 million. While the performers are still getting to know each other, they get their first challenge: Put on a show in one hour. Divided into teams, they struggle to work together in order to put on a good show. Theresa and Jacquie change plans at the last minute, throwing the Black team into disarray. The Red team misses their first cue, and Dave must stroll out onstage to begin the show in front of a live audience. After the two teams have finished, it's up to Wayne--with a little help from his advisers Scotty and Francis--to decide which team won and which member of the losing team must go. Red wins, and Wayne narrows down the Black team to Theresa and Marla before making his final decision: Marla is going home.
