LEAD-OFF HITTER:
ALMOST SHOWTIME

Ben Winston, who makes his inaugural Contents-page appearance in our new print issue, is set to debut as Grammy show producer with 3/14’s CBS telecast, which is gathering major buzz among insiders. The amiable Brit honed his music-variety chops producing The Late Late Show With James Corden—birthplace of the widely adored, star-studded Carpool Karaoke—and his relationships with superstar artists and biz players are impeccable. Still, this HITS Contents appearance is one stage he’d rather flee.
