Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld 

During rehearsal week on the set of a late night comedy show, a sketch writer bonds with the guest host and musical guest. The pair share laughs and lingering glances while fine-tuning song parodies and satirical skits. Even though Sally enjoys spending time with Noah, she can't imagine herself dating a rock star. 

Noticing a celebrity trend, Sally composes a skit that hits close to home about one of the show's writers dating a glamourous actress. In real life, Danny Horst always seems to be dating women out of his league, and the skit, called "The Danny Horst Rule," seems to be comedy gold.
