Michael Bloom

In 1984 he took what he learned from David Wolper and began working in Television. After befriending Karl Engemann and learning of a "train wreck" in the making he was asked to take over responsibility for Marie Osmond's first solo role in a Christmas Special. Michael was asked by Karl who was lamenting in a restaurant frequented by Karl which Bloom owned. Bloom and Engemann became fast friends more than a year before however they never discussed their work. When Bloom learned of the stressful situation, which was the result of the CBS hired EP over indulging in spirits known for night-time entertainment, Marie knew she couldn't work with the man. Bloom was invited to the studio to meet Marie and they hit it off instantly. Bloom took over the show, wrote and directed a couple of new comedy skits, and Marie, Karl and the rest were thrilled. Sally Struthers, Kirk Cameron, and Lee Greenwood also appeared and Bloom made everyone feel like they were given a do-over. As a result of his actions, Marie's manager at William Morris, Dick Howard quickly asked Bloom if he could represent him.
