Episode Details

Marc Shaiman, a Tony and Emmy-winning composer, shares his showbiz stories in his new memoir, Never Mind the Happy: Showbiz Stories from a Sore Winner. In a dramatic turn of events, Shaiman fought for his song from Mary Poppins Returns to be performed at the Oscars, rallying fellow songwriters and leveraging connections with Disney execs and film producers. His efforts paid off when the Academy reversed its decision, allowing all five songs to be performed. Shaimans story is set to be featured in a CBS Sunday Morning interview with Tracy Smith, and his memoir is now available in hardcover, ebook, and audio formats.
