The Luckiest Man in America

In 1984, down-on-his-luck ice cream truck driver Michael Larson slips into an audition for the game show Press Your Luck when another contestant is late for his appointment. Larson explains his background to the interviewers, contestant coordinator Chuck and executive producer Bill Carruthers, but is removed from the office when the real contestant arrives. Carruthers, however, likes Larson's potential as an underdog and books him on the next day's taping.
