BRUNO GOES PRIMETIME FOR CBS

Bruno Mars’ first primetime TV special will air the week after Thanksgiving on CBS.

Borrowing a bit of the title from James Brown, the hourlong Bruno Mars: 24k Magic Live at the Apollo, will air 11/29 at 10pm. James Corden’s company Fulwell 73 produced the special; Mars and Fulwell 73’s Ben Winston are Executive Producers.

“Bruno Mars is the ultimate live performer of this generation,” said an enthusiastic Jack Sussman, Executive Vice President, Specials, Music and Live Events, CBS Entertainment. “He is the very definition of event television. He burns the roof off the Apollo while paying respect to its tradition and history. We at CBS are proud to be broadcasting his first TV special.”

In the show, Mars performs atop the Apollo's marquee and he and the band exit the venue to visit and entertain the folks of Harlem. The show is still being taped.
