Emmy Award winning director/producer Jeff Margolis visited the BUZZ to chat about his new memoir, “LIVE in 5!” The book, which includes a forward by Billy Crystal, includes stories from Margolis’ history in the television industry. From producing variety hour programs to directing the Academy Awards eight times, Jeff Margolis has done it all and then some!
The BUZZ was fortunate to speak with Margolis about getting his start in the television industry, thanks to a famous game show host. We then discussed where his persistence and determination would take him. We also talked about what goes into producing and directing award shows. We then finally talked on the concert special that did not happen, “Michael Jackson: One Night Only.” Margolis shared some insight into that special, what went into it, and why it was canceled.
