President David Murray starts the day in crisis. He's lost control of Congress, has to decide whether to run for a second term, and his wife and teenage daughter are barely talking to him. What's more, the Angel of Death is at the foot of his bed, giving him only one more day to live. In Have a Nice Day, Tony and Emmy Award-winner Billy Crystal leads an all-star cast live reading of this hilarious and poignant story about a man desperately scrambling to put his affairs in order: to save his presidency, his marriage, his relationship with his daughter - and possibly his life. All attendees will be part of a live recording of this performance for release on Audible.
