Sempre existem questões que não podem ser respondidas. O diretor Peter Rodger resolveu lançar a questão "O que é Deus?" numa aventura visual que examina Deus sob o pontos de vista de diferentes culturas e religiões, pessoas comuns, líderes espirituais e celebridades. Seu objetivo é dar ao espectador a experiência pessoal, viceral e definitiva da palavra mais complexa e mais usada ao redor do mundo. “Oh My God” tem em seu elenco grandes nomes como Hugh Jackman, Seal, Ringo Starr, Sir Bob Geldof, Princess Michael of Kent, David Copperfield e Jack Thompson.

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.
