Story Synopsis

An insensitive shop-at-home network exec, Ricky Hayman (Goldblum) gets redemption from plummeting sales when he meets a mysterious stranger in Holy Man. Eddie Murphy stars as “G,” an inspirational oddity who, after a fleeting moment in front of the camera, becomes a prime-time regular. As a pitchman, “G” turns purchasing junk into a religious experience and becomes the Good Buy shopping network’s savior. The infomercials feature celebrity cameos including Florence Henderson, Dan Marino, Betty White and Willard Scott.
