Historia
David Seth Kotkin, known professionally as David Copperfield, is an American magician, described by Forbes as the most commercially successful magician in history.
Copperfield's television specials have won 21 Emmy Awards and 38 nominations. Best known for his combination of storytelling and illusion, Copperfield's career of over 40 years has earned him 11 Guinness World Records, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a knighthood by the French government, and he has been named a Living Legend by the US Library of Congress.
As of 2006, Copperfield has sold 33 million tickets and grossed over US$4 billion, more than any other solo entertainer in history. In 2015, Forbes listed his earnings at $63 million for the previous 12 months and ranked him the 20th highest-earning celebrity in the world.

'Unity' es un documental que explora el por qué de la (supuesta) imposibilidad de que los seres humanos nos llevemos bien entre nosotros. Su director y guionista, Shaun Monson, lanza una propuesta esperanzadora: ¿y si mutásemos de la premisa que el ser humano debe 'matar para vivir' a la de 'amar para vivir'? ¿Es posible ese cambio? Cien celebridades forman un elenco único (y unido) y exploran esa posibilidad esbozada.

Falso documental que relata la final del campeonato de Wimbledon de 2001, donde se enfrentaron dos mortales rivales. Por un lado, estaba la controversial superestrella Aaron Williams. Frente a él en el césped, se encontraba la lenta esperanza de Inglaterra, Charles Poole, un prodigio forzado por su madre a agarrar la raqueta. Chocando en el gran encuentro por la gloria, los dos dieron todo lo que tenían. Pero por alguna razón, ninguno pudo sacar la ventaja necesaria para ganar el quinto set, lo cual llevó a un desempate que se determinaría a lo largo de una semana.

Documental en el que grandes estrellas del show business norteamericano hablan sobre el arte de crear comedia. Durante muchos años, cuando muchas celebridades de Hollwood querían un guión ingenioso, la mayoría llamaba a Bruce Vilanch, un escritor cómico que fue responsable de algunas galas de los Oscar, los Emmy, los Grammy y muchos otros shows.

In this NBC Christmas Special from 1984, Mr. T plays a street Santa Claus who meets a young boy, played by Emmanuel Lewis of TV's Webster, who doesn't share the spirit of Christmas. Mr. T sets out to change Billy's mind, taking him around the city to FAO Schwartz, where he gets a magic lesson from David Copperfield, and then to Radio City Music Hall, where he listens to Christmas songs sung by Maureen McGovern, imagines himself as one of the toy soldiers in the Rockettes' Christmas Show, meets Willie Tyler and his dummy Lester, and finally is moved to realize the true meaning of Christmas, before being reunited with his parents.
A celebration of how the very young and the very old appreciate and enjoy each other via sketches and variety performances.
