Get ready for "How Murray Saved Christmas" with Dennis Haysbert narrating the all-new musical comedy on NBC! Based on the best-selling children's book written by four-time Emmy-winning writer and executive producer Mike Reiss ("The Simpsons"), the cleverly writtten, rhymed verse special includes original songs by Emmy-winning and Oscar-nominated composer Walter Murphy ("Family Guy," "Ted").
The story centers on cranky deli owner Murray Weiner (Jerry Stiller) who is forced to fill in for Santa (Kevin Michael Richardson) one Christmas. With the help of Edison Elf (Sean Hayes), he does a weirdly wonderful job! The special also stars the voice talents of Jason Alexander and John Ratzenberger.
