Scrooged

TV network president, is mean, nasty, uncaring, unforgiving and has a
sadistic sense of humour - perfect qualities for a modern-day Scrooge.
Before the night is over, he’ll be visited by a maniacal New York cab
driver from the past, a present-day fairy who’s into pratfalls and,
finally, a ghoulish, seven-foot headless messenger from the future...
