Actually he wants EVERYTHING else. In the new reality comedy series "The Robert Verdi Show Starring Robert Verdi," Robert balances the day-to-day antics of his hectic creative services business with the serious pursuit of his completely insane and over-the-top dreams such as getting his own TV channel, his own shopping mall and his own ice cream flavor named after him.

"The Robert Verdi Show Starring Robert Verdi" follows the hilarious Robert Verdi and his creative team as they try to take over pop culture one party, product and outfit at a time. Robert pays the bills by dressing Eva Longoria Parker for the Met Ball, planning a party for "Ugly Betty" co-star Ana Ortiz and coming to Kathy Griffin's rescue in a bona fide fashion emergency. But Robert's real passion is pursuing his crazy dreams as he, his devoted staff, friends, colleagues and everyone else who enters his world get caught up in Robert's whirlwind of want and comedy of errors.
