Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is an American sitcom created by Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, starring Ellie Kemper in the title role, that has streamed on Netflix since March 6, 2015.
Determined to be seen as something other than a victim and armed only with a positive attitude, Kimmy decides to restart her life by moving to New York City, where she quickly befriends her street-wise landlady Lillian Kaushtupper (Carol Kane), finds a roommate in struggling actor Titus Andromedon (Tituss Burgess), and gains a job as a nanny for the melancholy and out-of-touch socialite Jacqueline Voorhees (Jane Krakowski).
Mrs. Voorhees is devastated after she finds that her husband isn't coming to her son's birthday party, confiding in Kimmy that she believes he is cheating on her and that their marriage is falling apart.
Kimmy enrolls into an adult GED class in an attempt to pass the eighth grade but is discouraged when she learns her teacher (Richard Kind) could not care less for her education, and would much rather fail his way until he is placed on a paid probation.
Kimmy, who is vehemently against this, enlists her classmates – including a Vietnamese immigrant named Dong Nguyen (Ki Hong Lee) – to study for their GED together.
Titus is interviewed on local news on Kimmy's behalf, but gains viral internet fame when he embarrasses himself on live tv.
Meanwhile, Titus gets a job singing backup for a conspiracy theorist singer (Judah Friedlander) and Lillian filibusters a council meeting.
Inspired by the plot of the 1998 film Sliding Doors, the episode presents an alternate universe depicting how the main characters' lives would have turned out if Kimmy had never gotten into the Reverend's van and Titus had missed his audition for The Lion King.
