Curtain Call with David Spatz is the only television program that takes viewers backstage on location to America’s showrooms, concert venues and sets for casual conversations with entertainers. 

Curtain Call goes beyond the 30-second sound bite and reaches for more than the hype and the sensational. The Emmy Award-winning program has removed the audience, stripped the set bare to backstage reality and engages the guest – and, ultimately, the viewer - with a conversation that’s both genuine and revealing.

Award-winning Journalist David J. Spatz, who’s been covering the American entertainment scene for more than 30 years, hosts Curtain Call. The show is a natural extension of his columns that have appeared regularly in publications including the Courier Post, the New York Daily News, the Atlantic City Weekly, the Atlantic City Press, the Las Vegas Sun and the Hollywood Reporter. 

“The best compliments we’ve received have been when guests tell us they were so caught up in the conversation they forgot there were two cameras recording every word,” Spatz says.
