"Big Time Live" is the fourth episode of the second season of Big Time Rush and the twenty-second episode overall. It first aired on Nickelodeon on October 15, 2010.

Plot[]

The boys were going to perform live on A.M L.A., a local morning television series on Channel 6, but when they got there they got bumped from the show because the show was four minutes overtime. The boys tried many schemes in order to cut the overtime so that they could perform, but to little or no success. Meanwhile, Mrs. Knight didn't get to sleep eight hours as she normally would yet so she ended up sleeping in the waiting room with Katie playing a very addicting video game all day.

Subplot[]

In Rocque Records Gustavo and Kelly were going to see the guys on the show but were visited by Griffin who gave them a pop quiz that had nothing to do with producing music. At first it went good, but then Griffin gave them grade D's making their grade after the company's floundering fish sticks division, and if they can't improve their grade on the test Griffin would have to move Rocque Records to somewhere else outside LA.

Ending[]

At the end Rocque Records stayed in LA because of the boys' TV appearance. The boys earned the company 3.9 million dollars in 1.9 minutes and also their album/song became the most downloaded. Mrs. Knight finally woke up after her 8-hour nap, Katie finally beats her extremely addicting video game, and the boys were able to perform on "A. M. LA".

Gustavo: (panicked) Okay. The dogs...are clearly gonna get arrested. And not perform. So um, what do we do?!?
Kelly: We just have to ace the rest of Griffin's evaluation.
Griffin: D! (Gustavo and Kelly turn to him) You just failed my secret test! (his assistant shows an iSlab with a "D" mark)
