Do Not Disturb - TV Show


Set in one of New York City's hottest hotels, Do Not Disturb follows the behind the scenes antics of The Inn. Recently named one of New York City's "10 Best Places to Stay," The Inn is the place to be, with the top clientele and staff. Though The Inn's owner, R.J. (Robert Wagner) takes all of the credit for the hotel's success, Neal (Jerry O'Connell) is just egotistical enough to believe the success is all his doing and will do everything in his power to keep the hotel up to his high standards.


Also working at The Inn is Rhonda (Niecy Nash), the head of Human Resources, who spends her day keeping Neal in check with a daily dose of brutal honesty and her own set of high standards to follow. The front desk is handled by Nicole (Molly Stanton), a former model who checks guests in while wearing 6-inch Manolos. Jason (Brando Eaton), is a Nebraska native and naive to the ways of the world, but was hired as a bellman to show off his perfect face and pecs. Rounding out the staff are Molly (Jolene Purdy), the reservations clerk who dreams of being a pop singer; and Larry (Jesse Tyler Ferguson), the head of housekeeping who does more talking than cleaning.


“DO NOT DISTURB (working title) is a hilarious workplace comedy set at one of New York City's hottest and hippest hotels: The Inn. Named one of the Big Apple's "10 Best Places to Stay," The Inn is just that - the "in" place to be, with its chic decor, stylish staff and celebrity clientele. Behind the scenes, however, the upstairs/downstairs dynamic tells quite a different story.


The hotel's top-notch reputation and sophisticated look is due in large part to NEAL (Jerry O'Connell, "Crossing Jordan") - at least in his opinion. Although The Inn's charismatic owner R.J. (guest star Robert Wagner) takes all the credit, Neal is the egotistical, hyper-stylish, detail-oriented general manager who will do whatever it takes to keep the hotel and its employees up to his standards.”


After three episodes aired, the show was rumored to be canceled on September 24, 2008. FOX officially canceled the sitcom the following day, making it the first cancellation of the 2008-09 season.
