Live From New York- It’s Christmas
So This is going to be fun. And No I won’t change the title
to It’s Holiday. Fuck You. It is Christmas time.
So I wanted to get in all of the holiday moments of SNL . At
least all of the musical moments. So
here are some of SNL’s best Holiday hits.
There are not too many but I got what I could up there
Dysfunctional Family
Christmas
This is the classic early90’s late 80’s era Saturday Night
Live. This is when I really started to get into the show.
And this is a Christmas album that everyone can understand.
It makes sense and it makes you realize that you are not alone.
God I have had some awful Christmases, but I have also had
some great ones. So I know how this
feels, but I know it is not like this.
By the way I love this whole scene but when Carvey starts
singing. That shit is hilarious.
Winter Wonderland
This is classic and from season 1 and is a beautiful moment for what it is and
for what it isn’t.
It is serious for the first half but isn’t for the second.
It is Hilarious for the final part but not initially. It is the beginning of
the end for Chevy for me. (I have
watched all of the episodes from the first 2 seasons, and you can clearly look
at this episode as one where Chevy seemed distant from the cast. This scene as
well. He seems less affectionate and into it than everyone else. Fuck Him!)
I love the Bass sax even though you can’t really hear
it. I love the girls, who included
Candace Bergen, as one of their own.
(She hosted so much I actually thought she was a member. )
Most importantly I think that Garret Morris is an incredible
singer (and the original token Black guy) and all
of their outfits are crazy hilarious.
A Holiday Treat For
All
This is not the version that you usually see, and I don’t
know why, because to me this is the best version of all. If you have seen this before, watch it again.
It is so worth it.
Horatio Sanz to me is one of the most underrated SNL cast members of all time. I always
thought he was hilarious, and anytime I saw him and Fallon together I knew it
was gonna be good.
Now Oddly enough though this clip to me is extra hilarious
because of Tracy Morgan and Chris Kattan.
All of Kattan’s characters were vaguely childlike and gay, and how he is
able to portray that just by moving his head, is beyond me, but he does.
And Morgan is just there to dance, and be Token Black. But his dancing is so
infectious. Sometimes I do it on
accident and just laugh my ass off.
My understanding is that this song was written because
Sanz got that weird instrument, (oddly I
don’t remember the name, and when someone tells me, I am going to shoot myself
in the foot) So him and Fallon wrote
this song, and just kept doing the sketch over and over, but this version is my
favorite.
Little Drummer Boy /
Sleigh Ride
This is one that we get to see so often but we somehow also
forget about.
Rosie O Donnell and Penny Marshall are hilarious and the
whole episode that this is from is great.
But on top of that we have the great and incredible Whitney Houston, a
voice and a style that can not be matched. Yes she died a tragic death, but She
was awesome.
And then in the thick of things is Mary Catherine
Gallagher. My favorite Molly Shannon character
that there is worth enjoying. (I don’t remember how many she had) But this
whole scene is hilarious, and makes laugh my ass off .
It helps that these are two of my favorite Christmas songs
and I love a good pratfall
Seriously, this needs no long introduction other than to say
“ Your drumming for Jesus Christ not Judas Priest”
Last Call
I can not find a clip of this anywhere, but it is one the
greatest things in the world.
Tracy Morgan and Maya Rudoloph are 2 drunks and sitting at a
bar on Christmas Eve, and the bartender calls last call, and asks them to get
going, and then tells them they can have one more drink on him, and they go
into one of the cutest most adorable songs I have ever heard.
They both play good drunks, Rudolph reminds me of so many drunk ladies.
In the end they just have their usual.
Seriously find this clip. I have it on DVD, but I do not
know how to show it to you.
I tried to reach NBC today, I put a call in, to them, but no
one that I asked to talk to was available. So as for now the clip goes on
unseen. But stop by and I will show it
to you.
Dick In A Box
Enough said, and yes I consider this a holiday song, but it
is also good for all year.

How about I get another one out of the way that needs
no introduction
The Hanukkah Song
Well, really that is all I have for today, but , I don’t
need much more. Merry Christmas
everyone. I might take a few days off
for the holidays. But Monday I plan on
highlighting the top ten Christmas songs of all time. So get ready for it
Oh and because I can, here is a Christmas present for you.
