Toby Baxter is the funniest kid in school. He's also the biggest. But Toby manages to keep most of his bullies at bay by telling hilarious fat jokes. Yet, just moments before fulfilling his dream to perform on The Tonight Show, Toby realizes how hurtful it is to make fun of himself and others struggling with weight issues.
