Opera singers Eileen Farrell & Marilyn Horne are the showcase guests, performing in musical skits with Carol. Also, Carol plays a mousy reporter interviewing a Hugh Hefner parody (Lyle Waggoner), who suddenly morphs into.......well, that would be telling!
To explain away Bernie Kopell (Get Smart, That Girl) appearing during the show-closing Christmas medley, he'd taped a skit that was edited out of the show for time constraints, and was used two months later, but he was part of the chorus at the end of the night.
The Mavericks released the holiday CD, "Hey! Merry Christmas!" in 2018. From this album, we present the bouncy "Christmas Time Is (Coming Around Again)".
In memory of singer-guitarist Raul Malo, who passed away on Monday due to cancer complications. Rest in peace.
A year ago, Van Dyke made his first music video, appearing with Coldplay on "All My Love", which includes archived footage from The Dick Van Dyke Show and some of his movies (i.e. "Mary Poppins").
When is President Pampers finally going to get the message?
For the 2nd time in as many weeks, a grand jury in Virginia refused to re-indict NY Attorney General Letitia James after the initial indictments illegally brought by telegenic airhead Lindsey Halligan were tossed out two weeks ago. The statute of limitations has run out on indictments against former FBI Director James Comey, but Dumb Bondi and the Dept. of Injustice seem to think they can try again.
Uh, about that. Do us all a favor, and pound sand where you can find it.
Kristi Gnoem and the Dept. of Homeland Insecurity are having a herd of cows because a judge ordered them to release Kilmar Albrego-Garcia on Thursday. Look. You jobronies illegally detained him to start with without due process of the law, just because Donnie Diapers' consigliere, Stephen Miller, wants people like Albrego-Garcia gone on his say-so. That's not his call to make.
And, the sooner enough people come to that realization, the sooner Miller is brought before Congress to explain his xenophobic obsessions.
In Indiana on Thursday, the Hoosier state's government chose not to pander to Orange Narcissus' demand for redistricting, which led to predictable backlash from Dumb Donald II, Just Dumb Vance, and others.
Brian Tyler Cohen explains:
I swear, if he could get away with it, Donnie Diapers would ban Alec Baldwin's "Boss Baby" movies from ever being seen again because they offend him so much. Deal with it.
Meanwhile, in Washington, the president's personal airhead, Karolame Leavitt, is trying to advance the false notion that inflation is going down, when it is just the opposite, and everyone can see right through the lies. She claims Donnie understands. No, he doesn't. He has affluenza, and wouldn't have clue one about low-to-middle class families who are legitimately struggling.
Oh, I know. Karolame wouldn't know how to spell affluenza even if you spotted her the a.
The ideal press secretary for a narcissist.
And, then, there is the small matter of the US, at the command of Donnie Diapers, seizing oil tankers from Venezuela, as a means of bullying Nicholas Maduro into stepping down. Like, I thought Maduro would be the kind of leader Mango Machismo would want to admire, but I guess they don't get along after all.
Yo, Melania. There's still time to board Air Force Done.......
Last season's Super Bowl teams, Kansas City & Philadelphia, are reeling.
The Chiefs' loss to Houston Sunday night ensures there'll be a new division champion in the AFC West, as Kansas City slips back below .500 at 6-7 with the loss on national television.
Philadelphia, the defending champions, have lost three straight, as the Los Angeles Chargers defeated them in overtime on Monday. Even though Dallas lost on Thursday, they're the only team with a realistic chance of catching the Eagles in the NFC East.
In the AFC East, Mike Vrabel has succeeded where former teammate Jerod Mayo failed last year, bringing the New England Patriots back into a position to win the division title.
Assuming Denver wins the West, everything old will be new again in the AFC. Cycles, you know?
"Narco", Edwin Diaz's theme, won't be blaring out of the loudspeakers at Citi Field anymore.
Diaz signed a 3 year deal with the World champion Los Angeles Dodgers earlier today at the winter meetings after an on-again, off-again run in New York.

This makes the signing of Devin Williams away from the crosstown Yankees last week even more daunting. Williams was even more erratic than Diaz last season, so the Mets will need bullpen insurance in case he gets off to a bad start as he did in the Bronx.
As for Diaz, Mets fans have turned on him on reddit already. The fickle ones always do. You'd think that after being a lights out closer during the post-season, Roki Sasaki would've been set as the Dodger closer next season, but team management still sees him as a starter. I don't need to watch MLB Network or ESPN to learn that. As more & more fans resent the Dodgers because of their ability to sign Japanese players (i.e. Sasaki, Shohei Ohtani), and the deep pockets of team management, it's easy to assume that the Dodgers could be in position to three-peat.
But, there's a caveat emptor with Diaz. He's blown his share of games during tenures in Seattle & New York. Devin Williams is not the answer for the Mets. He's just a band-aid 'til David Stearns can find someone else to complement Williams.
We've documented in the past how sitcoms with a religious or supernatural bent had short shelf-lives in the post-Bewitched era.
Around the time of Warren Beatty's "Heaven Can Wait", Paramount mounted a pilot, Almost Heaven, which postulated a crisis center in Heaven which mortals can only access through their subconscious. It was meant as a comeback vehicle for Eva Gabor (ex-Green Acres), co-starring with Robert Hays & Jay Leno. As hokey as it sounds.
Of course, Hays would rebound a few months later with Angie, and Paramount thought enough of him to cast him in "Airplane!". It would take a few more years before Leno would raise his profile with his stand-up act, and we know the rest of his story.
