The Comeback premiered on HBO on June 5, 2005. Cameras follow Valerie Cherish as she makes a leap toward TV stardom. Valerie previously starred on television sitcom I'm It!, which sparked her nickname of It Girl when the show was popular... back in the early '90s. Since those glory days, however, the star's life has been a different: Cherish was dying to get back in the spotlight so she agreed to a reality TV series, allowing cameras to follow her every move as she landed the punch-line role of Aunt Sassy on a dreadful network sitcom, Room and Bored.
