In diesem Spin-off von Friends (1994) zieht Joey Tribbiani nach Los Angeles, um seine Schauspielkarriere fortzusetzen.

When Bobbie finds Joey distracted, she recommends hiring a personal assistant, even though her PA, gay MBA Jason, is mainly used as an amusing buffoon. A combination of practical sense, understanding Joey's infantile mind and devoted loyalty clearly makes experienced Glen from Minnesota the obvious best choice. Life with a smart dogsbody proves much easier, until Glen dates Gina, who never has such a god date either... Meanwhile Alex tries to mediate between Michael and fellow nerd Seth Tobin, who wants to file alone a patent for a rocket protection substance they invented together and considers a Pepperdine graduate about as smart as a cockroach, which rather applies to Joey as eye-witness who understood not a single word, so they bluff- in vain, until Joey...

To get an audition for a new show, Joey pretends he went to college with one of the producers.

Joey wants to join Michael's book club so he can flirt with some of hot members. Gina wants to try hairdressing for celebrities.

Joey is excited when Gina tells she expects a visit from her New York friend Donna Di Gregorio, the only one who impressed Joey too much to seduce her as a teenager, hot and just dumb enough. Michael is surprised to see on old videos he was talented for baseball at age five, but Gina decided to pull him out of Little League as physically too dangerous, thus setting him on the course to life-long nerdiness as his talent is meanwhile totally gone. The Tribbianis soon find out Donna's marriage has recently gone to the dogs, but Gina makes Joey promise to leave her alone. However when Donna finds out Joey always had a crush on her and takes the initiative herself, nature takes it course. Gina is disappointed when she finds out, and Donna has news...

Gina tells Joey Donna's husband Ron wants her back, but she and Michael advise him to fight now Ron isn't there yet. Donna promises Joey a week to prove himself the better choice by arranging a romantic week in a Santa Barbara hotel recommended by Gina who was happy there- with Michael. Alex wouldn't believe the Tribbiani boys she gets off lightly even with traffic fines because of her looks, but Howard giving her for free a broken robot he wouldn't sell for $30 to sweet Michael confirms she's a hot girl, a morale booster and a new world of perks... When Ron turns up sooner, intending to take Donna back to New York after thrashing Joey, the yellow challenger lets Ron believe Donna broke up and is gone and makes him stay inside because of 'earth tremors', but then Joey hears she still loves her husband...

Alex's husband visits, and is a little jealous when he finds out Alex is friends with Joey. After they meet, her husband is convinced that Joey's no threat to his relationship with Alex.

When Michael gets sick, Gina takes care of him. This bothers Joey too, because now his sister is around all the time. Joey meets the same actor at his auditions over and over again but Joey doesn't realize is that this guys screws him, so that Joey doesn't get the parts.

Joey is an understudy in three different plays. The lead actor from each play, cannot go on, Joey has to figure a way to be in all three plays when they're all on at the same time, in different locations.

Joey finds it hard to get in the Christmas spirit due to the Californian heat, while Gina even stopped buying a tree when Michael lost his naive Christmas faith- at age three. Joey is in a new series, Powder Deep, where the rest of the cast is so green that he is the 'veteran' playing a patriarch in the snowy North, but he manages to upset the utterly obsessive producer Lauren Beck, so after spilling the beans on the next episode at a press conference he fears the missing last page of the new script probably means his character captain Powder's death in a bomb explosion...

Joey can't persuade Laura to give him more then two tickets for his TV series' Deep Powder's fancy premiere, while he already promised to take the whole home gang along, so he fixes the ladies up with dates from the production team: Alex gets an older lesbian, Gina his otherwise unknown manager Martin, who didn't even want to come, but turns out to be Laura's ex and nightmare. Only Michael gets Joey's own guest ticket, but loses interest in a sexy girl, who clearly made a pass at him, when he spots actor Brent Spiner, who played his SciFi idol, Data (the android from Star Trek the Next Generation), for whom that part is alas the one subject he's sick of discussing, but agent Bobbie forces him; he actually finds Michael insightful, so Michael must chose. Joey has a surprisingly exciting way to calm obsessive Laura down...

Joey looks forward to being a judge on the Miss Southwestern USA beauty pageant in Las Vegas, asked by Bobie instead of Corbin Bernsen. Alex finds it degrading but is convinced to join by one of the perks, Céline Dion concert tickets. Gina was eager to come, believed they'd have to force Michael but is delighted when her nerdy son turns out to be a casino regular under the alias Dr. Rodriguez, using a mathematical blackjack system. Joey sleeps with a beauty before realizing she's finalist Miss Laughlin, Gina encourages his solution: do them all, but there is a teen section too and when Miss Laughlin is disqualified... Michael reluctantly accepts to let Gina and Joey 'Dusty' play along in a counting cards operation, but despite his warning that getting caught means being dragged to a bathroom where scary things happen they are inadvertently betrayed knowing each-other by Alex; they hope to get off if they look too stupid to pull it off...

On set, Joey is confronted with an overly bossy child actor. Gina organizes an audition to find Alex a date.

Michael will von Joey lernen, wie man Frauen aufreißt. Er und Gina geben ihm praktischen Unterricht in einem Club, bis er von den widersprechenden Anleitungen genug hat und selber loszieht.

When Alex delights in Gina's home-made lasagna, she's taught to cook it for her husband, but later claims to have improved it with a secret ingredient- a duel is declared, to be jury-tasted by eager Joey and reluctant Michael. Joey ignores a warning from producer-director Lauren Beck not to get romantically involved with his show daughter-performer Katie, who strikes jealously when she erroneously thinks Joey hits on Lauren. Joey can't talk her over, asks his agent Bobbie, but she makes it even worse... Meanwhile the home-front forced Michael to pick from the equally good lasagnas, alas not ma's...
