Today's Video Link

Here's our first Christmas video of the year on this site. This is from The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson from I-don't-know-what-year. The four men are, left to right, writer Pat McCormick, announcer Ed McMahon, Johnny, and bandmember Tommy Newsom. You can see the first three getting into it (Pat may even have suggested the sketch) and you can see Tommy just going along with the bit, not singing and kind of looking like he just wants it to be over. I'm not sure how long after this it was that Johnny decided to stop using Tommy in sketches or to even let him front the band anymore. He was a darned good musician, though.
