Subscribe FreeHouseguest is an outrageously funny situation comedy of a misfit struggling hilariously to find out who he’s supposed to be. Sinbad stars as Kevin Franklin, a get-rich-quick dreamer/con man trying to escape from the mob by impersonating a long-lost friend of the family of a complete stranger, Gary Young (Phil Hartman). Invited to spend the weekend as his guest, he is unaware that he is to give a speech at the local school. But he knows not who he is pretending to be. As the guest of honor at a wine tasting party he discovers he is a famous dentist and soon is called on to perform dental surgery before a group of students. By the time the mob finally catches on to his scam, Young’s very up-tight and dysfunctional family have started to have doubts about his identity, and Kevin finds his escapade as a “houseguest” suddenly much more than he bargained for.
