CALL ME CLAUS is a hysterically delightful and touching story. An instant holiday classic from executive producer Whoopi Goldberg and the executive producing team of Lisa Sanderson and Garth Brooks. Starring Academy Award(r) winner Whoopi Goldberg and featuring the impressive talent of Nigel Hawthorne as Santa Claus. Lucy Cullins (Goldberg) is a cranky, volatile producer at a home shopping network in charge of hiring the station's on-air Santa Claus. Nigel Hawthorne is the real Santa Claus, who, finding himself at the end of his 200-year contract, must convince Lucy that she is the perfect candidate to fill his shoes. A funny, moving and enlightening look at the true spirit of the Christmas season.(Original Title - Call Me Claus) © 2001 Columbia TriStar Television, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
