DECEMBER 9 – HBO’s MR. SATURDAY NIGHT *Documentary Premiere*
- Created by Bill Simmons, HBO’s MUSIC BOX documentary series continues with SATURDAY NIGHT. The documentary chronicles the meteoric career of Australian entrepreneur Robert Stigwood, who gambled on a magazine article about the Brooklyn night club scene and turned it into the 1977 cultural touchstone “Saturday Night Fever,” making a global superstar out of John Travolta, and reinvigorating disco with a platinum selling soundtrack anchored by four, number-one hits from the Bee Gees. MR. SATURDAY NIGHT tracks Stigwood’s journey from managing artists such as Eric Clapton and the Bee Gees, to producing the hit theatre productions of “Jesus Christ Superstar,” “Tommy” and “Evita,” to forever changing the way film studios approached movie soundtrack synergy, leaving an indelible mark on American cinema, and the record industry for decades to come. The documentary premieres Thursday, Dec. 9 at 8 p.m. ET.

- Welcome to the Jam! When NBA champion and cultural icon LeBron James and his young son Dom are trapped in a digital space by a rogue A.I., LeBron must get them home safe by leading Bugs, Lola Bunny, and the whole gang of notoriously undisciplined Looney Tunes to victory over the A.I.’s digitized champions on the court: a powered‐up roster of NBA and WNBA stars as you’ve never seen them before. It’s Tunes versus Goons in the highest‐stakes challenge of his life that will redefine LeBron’s bond with his son, and shine a light on the power of being yourself. The ready‐for‐action Tunes destroy convention, supercharge their unique talents, and surprise even “King” James by playing the game their own way.
