From my perspective, Jeff is an entertainer's director. He would be there in rehearsals with me figuring out camera shots to enhance my choreography. He would make sure the lighting and sound was immaculate and that the dialogue, staging and costumes were perfect. I knew that if Jeff was in the booth, it would be great.
In this dazzling Hollywood memoir, Jeff Margolis takes us on the ultimate behind-the-scenes tour of television's most memorable variety series and specials spanning the past fifty years-from the most iconic variety shows of the 1970s to the Oscars.
Introduced to showbiz by his uncle Monty Hall, legendary host of Let's Make a Deal, Jeff Margolis quickly forged his own path with natural talent, charisma, and bar mitzvah money. Today, as one of the most prolific directors/producers of event television, Margolis is not only a technical ringmaster but also a confidante and sage to the stars who headline the shows.
Students of television will savor the “how-to” of event television while fans will love the intimate stories of beloved stars like Julie Andrews, Carol Burnett, Cher, Sammy Davis Jr., Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Dolly Parton, Frank Sinatra, and Oprah Winfrey. While not a sordid tell-all, We're Live in 5 is a tell-it-as-it-is with all the glamour you expect, along with a deeply revealing human portrait of working with larger-than-life personalities at television's most dizzying and demanding heights.
