    i didn't stop laughing - the Luciano Pavarotti & Vanessa Williams performance is spectacular ! hide show

    i didn't stop laughing - the Luciano Pavarotti & Vanessa Williams performance is spectacular ! I couldn't find any of the skits on youtube. the Donny & Marie Osmond skit is too funny and Joe Piscopo is hilarious as Frank Sinatra. I will watch this episode every year and once I buy it I will watch it even when it's not Christmas. Will Ferrell again demonstrates his talent for making what would have been a sub-par skit into a really funny one and although I'm not a fan of Ellen Degeneres she does a great job. the hightlight of the video however is Alec Baldwin's skit. I won't spoil it but you will not be able to keep a straight face. Enjoy.

  • The archive footage for the Chanukah Song sketch is much different than when it was featured in Brittany Murphy's show. []
  • This special originally aired at 8/7c on a Tuesday night and was repeated at least twice. []
  • Jimmy Fallon: It reminds me of a story my mom used to tell us, it was about a hero... a hero that, in my family, we like to call Batman. One Christmas, long ago, we find our hero fighting the Joker in the sewers in Gotham City.
    Tina Fey: So Batman smelled?
    Jimmy Fallon: Yes he did, Tina. Add to that his sidekick, Robin, the boy wonder, who, in what must have been a medical first, passed an egg through his system.
    Tina Fey: So, Robin laid an egg?
    Jimmy Fallon: And the Batmobile, you're not gonna believe what happened...
    Tina Fey: It lost its wheel?
    Jimmy Fallon: Yeah. There was no joy that Christmas, Tina, for the Joker got away.
    Tina Fey: You're an idiot. []
