Cover Story
TV serves up a spread of holiday fare on Christmas Day
BY GEORGE DICKIE
I t’s Christmas morning. The kids’ presents have been opened, played with and broken, the big feast is in the oven and the relatives are en route. There might even be a yule log crackling away in the fireplace.
Clearly, it’s time to get your Christmas spirit on. And on this Sunday, Dec. 25, there are multiple options on television to help with that task.
First and perhaps most famously is the “A Christmas Story” marathon that runs throughout much of the day on TBS and TNT. By now you know the story: 1940s Cleveland youngster Ralphie (Peter Billingsley) wants a Red Ryder B.B. gun for Christmas but Mom (Melinda Dillon) thinks he’ll shoot his eye out; meanwhile, Dad (Darren McGavin) takes delivery of a lamp that looks like it came from a brothel and a kid gets his tongue stuck
to a frozen pole. Truly a holiday classic and a quirky piece of Americana.
In the morning on ABC, holiday revelry is underway in Florida and California with “The Disney Parks’ Magical Christmas Celebration.” Hosted by Derek and Julianne Hough, the two-hour special features a parade, appearances by favorite Disney characters and performances by recording artists including Trisha Yearwood, Garth Brooks, Kelly Clarkson, Mariah Carey, Boyz II Men and Gavin DeGraw.
Looking for a newer Christmas movie? Hallmark Channel’s Sunday schedule is replete with 2016 holiday telepics, ranging from “A Heavenly Christmas,” about a workaholic (Kristin Davis) who becomes a Christmas angel after death, to “A Nutcracker Christmas,” with Amy Acker as an exballerina who rethinks her vow to never dance again. There is also a holiday
episode of Lori Loughlin’s “When Calls the Heart.”
If your tastes run to the more familiar, Freeform wraps up its “25 Days of Christmas” programming event Sunday with a battery of stellar holiday offerings including “Elf,” “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation,” “Scrooged,” “The Polar Express” and the Rankin/Bass stopmotion classic “Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town.” There are also holiday favorites on HBO (the live action “Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” the original “Miracle on 34th Street”), Lifetime (“Christmas With the Kranks”) and USA Network (“A Madea Christmas”). For nontraditional programming, look to Syfy in the morning for fare with titles such as “The 12 Disasters of Christmas,” “Christmas Icetastrophe” and “Ice Twisters.” There is even a 1960 episode of “The Twilight Zone” titled “Night of the Meek” starring
‘TIMBER
CREEK LODGE’ HAS YOUR 3 NEW FAVORITE BRAVO VILLAINS
Bravo has added another notch to its reality TV show belt with “Timber Creek Lodge,” a series documenting the staff and clients at a small, private, high-end lodge resort in Whistler, British Columbia.
In the vein of “Below Deck” and “Vanderpump Rules,” the resort is staffed with a variety of goodlooking 20- and 30-somethings who all live by varying degrees of “work first, play second,” “play first, work second” and “what’s work?” attitudes.
While many of them seem like perfectly fine people – shout-out to Chef Nikita for her kick-butt name and no-nonsense attitude to go with it – there are definitely a few who are already firmly on our “love to hate” list.
3. Manager Katy
As far as reality villains go, Katy is fairly mild so far. As the manager, she has the hard job of wrangling all the yahoos on staff – plus providing exciting experiences for the wealthy clients. But she’s on our radar as one to watch because of her rather lackadaisical attitude and her push-back to Jamie, the assistant manager.
Jamie is one of the only people at the resort who appears to be on the ball. He’s constantly thinking two steps ahead and riding the employees to make
sure they’re doing their jobs. Katy, meanwhile, is very hands off – which is fine (to a point) – but her dressing down of Jamie really rubbed us the wrong way, especially in light of how little direction she actually gives him (as he rightly pointed out).
2. Mountain Host Mark
As several people observe, both directly and indirectly, Mark is kind of a d-bag. He’s full of macho swagger that borders on sexism (and will surely be crossing that border) – and he acts like the rules don’t apply to him, which is annoying and problematic for manager Katy.
On the other hand, Mark’s intriguing, as he’s also one of the most responsible people in the house – notice how he was not partying with the guests the night before a 7 a.m. heli-skiing trip, or the fact that he takes the dangerous aspect of his job very seriously.
It should make him one of the most interesting characters on the show, because he’s good at his job and takes the important things seriously, but he’s also kind of insufferable. Delicious reality TV combo.
Plus, he’s hooking up with...
1. Housekeeper Jenna
Art Carney as a drunken sidewalk Santa who stumbles upon a magical bag of gifts.
Those looking to get away from the holiday entirely can tune in to AMC for a day of classic Westerns, including “The Shootist,” “Two Mules for Sister Sara,” “The Outlaw Josey Wales,” “El Dorado,” “Big Jake” and “Rio Bravo.” John Wayne and Clint Eastwood fans, we’re looking at you.
And if it is the thrill of competition you seek, there is a quartet of NBA contests starting midday on ABC with the Golden State Warriors at Cleveland Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls at San Antonio Spurs, and continuing in prime time on ABC with the Minnesota Timberwolves at Oklahoma City Thunder and the Los Angeles Clippers facing the L.A. Lakers.
Just try to keep the yelling at the TV to a minimum.
BY ANDREA REIHER @ZAP2IT.COM
Talk about someone with all the bad aspects of Mark and none of his redeeming qualities! The casting department struck gold with this one, a former Dallas Mavericks cheerleader who was let go for “fraternizing with the players” (her words) and is now “homeless” (also her words), so this job is perfect for her because it provides room & board, she’s encouraged to party with the guests and she’s in a beautiful location – totes perfect for taking lots of selfies.
She was hired as a “housekeeper,” yet based on her being stymied by the vacuum cleaner, aversion to cleaning toilets and penchant for saying things like, “He was a dog and came fetching,” Jenna is straight out of reality TV villain central casting. If she’s cleaned a bathroom a day in her life we’ll eat our hats ... and if she isn’t fired by season’s end, there is something seriously wrong here – not only would that provide some excellent drama, but that’s how the show gets a little fresh blood if there is a Season 2.
And Jenna is the absolute worst! So here’s hoping.
“Timber Creek Lodge” airs Mondays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.
Amy Acker stars in “A Nutcracker Christmas” Sunday on Hallmark Channel.

As December nears its end and winter makes its presence increasingly felt, “Bizarre Foods” host Andrew Zimmern appropriately offers up a cornucopia of foods harvested and consumed by those living in frigid climes.
Airing Tuesday, Dec. 27, on Travel Channel, the hourlong episode somewhat deceptively titled “Bizarre Frozen Foods” pulls unused footage from the past decade of the series to introduce viewers to such exotic fare as ptarmigan, a beefy game bird roasted by snowmobile muffler in Alaska; olive oil frozen into cubes by minus-321 degree liquid nitrogen in Chicago; horse milk in Kazakhstan and the sea bird puffin on an island in Iceland.
That hunting expedition saw Zimmern perched precariously on a seaside cliff and wielding a long-handled net used to catch the creatures. It took Zimmern several tries to get the hang of the technique but he nearly lost his balance in the process, which would have sent him tumbling into the icy waters below.
“It is very dangerous when you’ve never done it before,” he says. “What was quite funny was, most people don’t realize that the most dangerous thing was actually getting on the island. Because the little clip that they have in the show shows the boat kind of coming into the rock and you jump out and grab the rope. What they don’t show is the eight-foot swell behind it and the (driver of the) boat literally noses in and then guns it backwards and so you really have to jump when they say jump.”
Zimmern also walked the walk – or in this case swam the swim – when he waded into 53degree water in Vancouver to harvest bull kelp and sea lettuce for a salmon dinner, a meal that he says turned out to be worth the risk of hypothermia.
“It was delicious ...,” he recalls. “We wrapped that salmon in bull kelp and then in salt and the infusion of that delicate sea vegetable flavor in the fish, you could taste it in every bite. It really was wonderful.”
5:00 p.m. KRSU Twice as Good Caribbean jerk chicken; fish in a bag. (In Stereo) FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives Guy’s all-time favorites BBQ spots.
6:00 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives Barbecue masters and grilling greats.
7:00 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives Barbecue wings and ribs.
7:30 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives Oxtail ragu; chivito club; osso buco.
8:00 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives Guy cruises the food scene in Cuba.
8:30 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives Guy hits up hot spots in Havana, Cuba.
9:00 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives A bar serves up wild boar sliders.
9:30 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives Cuisine spanning three continents.
Zimmern presents the best cold weather has to offer in a ‘Bizarre Foods’ compilation
What book are you currently reading?
“I’m rereading Somerset Maugham’s ‘South Sea Stories’ that is collected under different titles but it includes the ‘Rain’ short story, etc. He’s my favorite writer and whenever the winter comes on I grab that and reread it, and that’s what’s currently on my bedside table.”
What did you have for dinner last night?
“I had chicken parmesan with fresh crushed tomato sauce and a pasta cacio e pepe alongside it with my son.”
What is your next project?
“I’m dying to get into my book. I’m writing another book coming up very shortly. And probably the biggest thing is that my production company, Intuitive Content, and my hospitality business, Passport Hospitality, are both in highgrowth mode right now so I’m really enjoying seeing those grow and nurturing those companies.”
When was your last vacation, where and why?
“My last real vacation was a two-week driving vacation I took with my wife in July through New England. We went up and down the coast visiting friends, hanging out at the beach. For me, a vacation is sitting at home because I travel 230 days a year, so the compromise was taking a driving vacation with my wife.”
10:00 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives An allBoston smorgasbord.
10:30 p.m. FOOD Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives Waffles and fried chicken; Cuban beef.

Gone but Not Forgotten 2016: A year of farewells to familiar faces
The end of a year means looking ahead to new beginnings, but also looking back at favorite people we said farewell to ... including television personalities whose respective gifts brought valued entertainment or information to television viewers.
Here’s a remembrance of some who passed in 2016.
Florence Henderson: The loss of one of television history’s favorite “moms” gave a sad ending to Thanksgiving for countless “Brady Bunch” fans of multiple generations.
Alan Thicke: Seen recently as himself in the pilot of “This Is Us,” the “Growing Pains” dad also wrote or co-wrote some of TV’s most familiar theme songs, including “The Facts of Life” and “Diff’rent Strokes.”
Florence Henderson
Garry Marshall: The producing-directing mentor of such comedy classics as “Happy Days,” “Laverne & Shirley,” “Mork & Mindy” and “The Odd Couple” also made his mark as a guest star.
Grant Tinker: The influence of the MTM Productions (named for his then-wife Mary Tyler Moore) president and NBC executive will continue to be felt for as long as quality comedy and drama programming exists.
Morley Safer: Just days after his retirement from “60 Minutes,” one of the staples of the CBS newsmagazine passed.
Gwen Ifill: Well before starting her role as co-anchor of PBS’ “NewsHour,” Ifill was known as one of television’s most incisive political journalists.
Patty Duke, William Schallert and Eddie Applegate: This year saw not only the loss of the award-winning star (times two) of “The Patty Duke Show,” but also of two of her co-stars on it.
Garry Shandling: The droll comedian gave TV two of its groundbreaking comedies, “It’s Garry Shandling’s Show” and the talk-program satire “The Larry Sanders Show.”
Robert Vaughn: Among the bountiful work the smooth-voiced actor did, his incarnation of “Man From U.N.C.L.E.” Napoleon Solo stands very tall.
Doris Roberts: If “Everybody Loves Raymond,” they also loved his mother – and also from other shows including “Remington Steele.”
Abe Vigoda: The ever-dour Phil Fish of “Barney Miller” (and its “Fish” spinoff) had one of the most distinctive images of any television performer.
Ron Glass: The “Barney Miller” team lost another of its veterans later in the year, and fans of “Firefly” also felt the impact of his passing.
Pat Harrington Jr.: While his TV career reached back to the days of Steve Allen and Jack Paar, Harrington cemented his fame as handyman Schneider on “One Day at a Time.”
Noel Neill: The movies’ first live-action Lois Lane became television’s second one opposite George Reeves in “Adventures of Superman.”
Hugh O’Brian: Though he did other TV work as well, this rugged actor’s embodiment of Wyatt Earp made him a Western-series legend.
Van Williams: One of the handsome detectives of “Bourbon Street Beat” and “Surfside Six” hit his TV stride as “The Green Hornet” alongside Bruce Lee’s Kato.
Norm Abram of “This Old House” on PBS
“Well, I record ‘This Old House,’ obviously. I have to watch the shows after they’re made. And we have, I guess, our favorites. We do a lot of Netflix now ... ‘House of Cards,’ all of those we’re into. Cooking series – we’ll record those, like ‘Top Chef.’ My wife and I like to cook so we record those.
I’ll record some sports but I usually watch sports in real time. We recorded a couple of new shows that we just started watching: ‘Bull,’ which is kind of an interesting concept of juries. We are ‘Survivor’ fans.”

OF “PITBULL’S NEW YEAR’S REVOLUTION” ON FOX
With your new series “Star” about to start its weekly run, are you pleased by the prospect of spending New Year’s Eve on television as a co-host of “Pitbull’s New Year’s Revolution”?
Yeah, because it’s kind of a party. I’ve been working hard! It’s time to end this year with a bang and start the new year. This has been some year, so it’s just time to have a good time and celebrate.
I’m generally in a reflective place (as a year ends), but Miami is one of my favorite places to bring in the new year. I’d probably be there anyway, so why not celebrate with the world?
Are you happy about sharing the hosting duties with Pitbull and Snoop Dogg?
You can’t pick two better people to have a good time with. I mean, Snoop is a fun time every time. Every time I see him, it’s like seeing one of my cousins. We never know what we’re going to get into. We’ve been close since the beginnings of our careers.
And Pitbull is just, like, the best. He’s a trip, and it’s going to be fun to have that Miami flavor. That’s his town, and we’re going to be guests there that night, so I’m going to have to follow his lead a little bit.
What is your typical New Year’s Eve like?
It varies. Some years, I just sit at home and watch the ball drop on television. Other times, I’ve been at clubs celebrating and popping open bottles of champagne. And sometimes, I’ve been in church on New Year’s Eve, then we go celebrate afterward.
Probably three of the last four years, though, I’ve been in Miami. It’s just one of those places I like to be. You can relax on the beach the next day, or even sit out on the beach that night. And if you want to get to something fun, it’s right where you want it to be.
Terry Crews of “Brooklyn NineNine” on Fox
“I always watch me ... so it’s always ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’! But other than that, it’s ‘Saturday Night Live.’ I always record it, and some shows are better than others, but it’s required viewing for me because it’s so topical.”
Jackie Evancho, seen recently on “America’s Got Talent Holiday Spectacular” on NBC
“I record ‘Game of Thrones.’ I record ‘Westworld’ and ‘The Walking Dead.’ They’re the main ones I record.”
John Dickerson of “Face the Nation” on CBS
“The shows we watch are ‘The Big Bang Theory,’ ‘The Flash’ and ‘Arrow.’ I feel like I’m being a corporate shill, but this is what the Dickerson family viewing is about.”

To say Russell Westbrook is on a roll would be an understatement. With Kevin Durant now with Golden State, the Oklahoma City Thunder is truly Westbrook’s team and he has responded thus far by putting up careerhigh statistics in many categories. Westbrook and the Thunder host the Minnesota Timberwolves Sunday on ESPN as part of the NBA’s annual barrage of Christmas Day games.
An MVP season could be in the works here. There’s no doubt Westbrook stepped up to fill the void left by Durant. He’s been a scoring machine, as at press time he was averaging 30.9 points per-game, which is nine more than his career average and has made triple-doubles a regular occurrence. He is currently ranked sixth all-time with triple-doubles and his five in the post season is eighth all-time.
When Durant departed, many wondered if Westbrook would be next in line, but he showed his commitment to the Thunder by signing a three-year contract extension that will keep him in Oklahoma City through the 201718 season. That gives the Thunder’s front office time to put a supporting cast around him, which has become the norm for winning NBA franchises in the past decade. Westbrook and the Thunder, meanwhile are contending in the Northwest Division and thus the Western Conference where, if they prevail, they could likely find themselves in another matchup with the Warriors and also Durant. Until then fans can expect Westbrook to keep piling up the stats and hopefully adding to the Thunder’s win column.

C h e c k i n g i n w i t h Checking in with
Santa settles into an armchair. Mrs. Claus reminds him of his tight schedule, including that extra stop for “The Disney Parks’ Magical Christmas Celebration” Sunday, Dec. 25, on ABC.
Santa just laughs. And yes, he really does laugh, “Ho, ho, ho!”
“Well, I have been doing this for an awful long time,” he says. It may seem surprising that Santa would sit for an interview during his busiest season, but he says, “With so much negative happening in the world, I felt I needed to reassure children that Christmas will come this year.”
Rudolph pokes his head through a window, and Santa tells him to return to the stable.
“Now where was I?” Santa says. “Oh yes, many parents worry about stability in their financial future, never mind buy expensive toys. I want to tell everyone Christmas never goes away, though it may be a little different.”
Santa leans forward, no mean feat considering that belly, and the twinkle leaves those blue eyes. This is the year to remember the holiday’s true meaning, he stresses.
He extracts a letter from a pile. The boy asks for so many pricey console games, it reads like a store inventory. “This is what I mean,” he says. “No one needs this much. I may bring him a game, but 37? No way!”
“Now this letter,” he says, pulling a crumpled piece of paper from a pile, “this is what I’m talking about.”
This little girl wants boxes of crayons for the hospital, where she does art projects with sick children.
“She has the true spirit,” Santa says. “I’m hoping more people this year can ask just a little for themselves and more for others.”
Also known as: St. Nicholas
Birthplace: Asia Minor
When: Fourth century
Known for: Kindness to children; helping the sick
How stockings by fireplace came about: Nicholas helped a man who had no dowries for his three daughters. Before each girl’s wedding, he tossed a bag of gold into the house. The third bag fell into a stocking hanging over the fire to dry, and the tradition began.

“Chasing Cameron,” www.netflix.com/title/80116839
Social media star Cameron Dallas is front and center of this 10-episode unscripted series that drops Tuesday and follows the entrepreneur and digital influencer and friends Taylor Caniff, Aaron Carpenter, Blake Gray, Willie Jones and Trey Schafer as they head to places such as Paris, Italy and Australia on their first MAGCON international tour. The series endeavors to explore the contrast between their public online profiles and their personal lives.
Favorite food: Home-baked cookies
Credits: “Miracle on 34th Street” and scores of other movies. Santa allows doubles to fill in for him because even he can’t be at every mall every day.
Favorite songs: “Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town,’ Bing Crosby’s ‘White Christmas.’ ”
Favorite books: “ ‘A Visit From Saint Nicholas’ by Dr. Clement Moore. ‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas’ by Dr. Seuss.”
Favorite movies: “ ‘It’s a Wonderful Life,’ ‘A Christmas Carol.’ ”
“An Italian Garage,” www.anitaliangarage.com
Car enthusiasts will want to take a look at this new unscripted series that centers on obscure Italian sports cars and the people who collect and restore them. The pilot episode introduces us to the Iso Rivolta, a quintessentially Italian coupe that’s powered by a very American 5.4-liter Chevrolet smallblock V8. Even though it’s in Italian, the images of the cars certainly are pretty.
“Brown Girls,” www. browngirlswebseries.com
From creator and writer Fatimah Asghar (“Red”) comes this web series that centers on the relationship of two diverse women: Leila, a South AsianAmerican writer on the verge of owning her own homosexuality; and Patricia, an African-American musician who struggles to commit to anything. Although they come from completely different backgrounds, they lean on their friendship to get them through the difficulties of their twenties.
“Disruptrs,” www.disruptrs.co
Drawing comparisons to “Shark Tank,” this new unscripted series invites would-be entrepreneurs from around the world to pitch their ideas to a group of investors and advisers. Though the premiere was filmed in Seattle, the ultimate plan is to move the production around the country for each episode with episode 2 slated for the Bay Area.

Mariah Carey, Kelly Clarkson, spouses Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood, and Disney Channel star Sofia Carson (“Descendants”) are among others on board here.

The show propelled Bryan Cranston to A-list

Happy New Year, Charlie Brown Good grief! Who assigns elementary-school children “War and Peace”? Charlie Brown’s teacher, that’s who. He has to read it over the Christmas break and write a report, but holiday distractions keep getting in the way. He ends up leaving a New Year’s party and sitting outside to read, but that doesn’t end well. Chad Allen (“Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman”) provides the voice of Charlie Brown in this 1986 “Peanuts” special.
8 p.m. on KTUL Rudolph’s Shiny New Year While it’s not up to par with the all-time holiday-season classic “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” this animated special still is a lot of fun. Red Skelton, Frank Gorshin and Morey Amsterdam provide voices for the story of the red-nosed deer, with the help of a whale and a caveman, setting off across time to find Happy — the missing New Year baby. The mission is fairly urgent: If Happy stays lost, it will be Dec. 31 forever.

Martha Argerich. Other entertainers honor their careers as Stephen Colbert hosts.

Stories of refugees and migrants trying to escape bloodshed and persecution in their homelands get particularly personal detail in the new episode “Exodus,” which uses footage taken on their cell phones to show their flights toward hopedfor safety in Europe.

Stephen Fry, Susannah Fielding and Chris Williams also star.
8 p.m. on KTUL American Housewife
Though she’s taken great pride in separating herself from the other housewives of Westport, Katie (Katy Mixon) reverses course in “The Snub.” She has an ulterior motive, since she wants to score Anna-Kat (Julia Butters) an invitation to another young woman’s birthday party. Thus, Katie makes the unexpected moves of wearing attire similar to that of the other women, and of going to the same yoga studio they do. Diedrich Bader also stars.
8:30 p.m. on KTUL Speechless JJ’s (Micah Fowler) new taste of independence, enabled by Kenneth (Cedric Yarbrough) becoming his full-time helper, worries Maya (Minnie Driver) in this episode. When JJ misses an appointment, Maya quickly lays the blame on Kenneth — seeing it as a means to get him out of the picture. Jimmy (John Ross Bowie) doesn’t want Dylan (Kyla Kenedy) to be so accommodating to others. Marin Hinkle (“Two and a Half Men”) guest stars. Mason Cook also stars.

SATURDAY
7 p.m. on KTUL Dick Clark’s Primetime New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest 2017
Simply put, it wouldn’t be Dec. 31 without this. “American Idol” alum Seacrest is back in New York’s Times Square for the descent of the illuminated globe — but before that magic moment arrives at midnight, also to be shown from New Orleans for the first time, there’s plenty of entertainment to fill the primetime portion. Mariah Carey, DNCE, Thomas Rhett, Gloria Estefan and Jenny McCarthy join Seacrest on location, while Fergie again hosts the Hollywood segments.
9 p.m. on KJRH Late Night With Seth Meyers
The New Year’s Eve revelry on NBC begins with a relatively rare primetime appearance by Meyers, as he puts his own spin on 2016 during its closing hours — and he certainly hasn’t been shy about discussing political matters lately, so expect more of that here. His guests include current “Passengers” star Jennifer Lawrence, Arnold Schwarzenegger (who’s about to launch “The New Celebrity Apprentice”). Kelly Clarkson and “Saturday Night Live’s” Leslie Jones. 11 p.m. on KOKI Pitbull’s New Year’s Revolution
The music star stages another bash in Miami’s Bayfront Park to mark the end of one year and the start of another, with Queen Latifah — who’s returning to Fox series work in “Star” — and Snoop Dogg joining him to host the show. Other musical talents including Coolio, Naughty by Nature, Salt-N-Pepa and Tone Loc will assist with the celebration, which makes it a point to infuse the proceedings with energy specific to Miami ... where Pitbull was born.

Late Night with Seth Meyers
Donald Trump began his postelection victory tour last week. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton has wandered so far into the woods she found the Blair Witch. Donald Trump reportedly invited the leader of the Philippines to the White House next year despite the fact that he previously told President Barack Obama to go to hell. Obama was like, “Oh, I’m already there. I’m already there.”
The Tonight Show
Starring Jimmy Fallon
Al Gore met with Donald Trump today to discuss climate change. They probably talked about how climate change could lead to massive floods in places like New York City. Trump was like, “That’s why I live on the 58th floor.”
The Late Show With Stephen Colbert
With roughly seven weeks until he takes office, President-elect Donald Trump still has a few things he’s
researching. Needs to figure out, like, “What does a president do?” And now we know he knows it’s not going to be that easy, because Trump surrogate and flesh snowman Newt Gingrich recently told USA Today that he talked to Trump about his new responsibilities as president and, according to Gingrich, Trump said, “This is really a bigger job than I thought.”
The Late Late Show With James Corden
The Dakota Access oil pipeline, which the Sioux tribe has been protesting for months, will no longer be routed through their land. It’s a big win for Native Americans — and if the next 9 billion things go their way, we can finally call it even.
Jimmy Kimmel Live Congratulations are in order for Dr. Ben Carson. Do you remember him? President-elect Donald Trump picked him to run the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Which is going to be quite a surprise when he finally wakes up.
Ben Carson, in case you don’t know, is a former neurosurgeon with no experience in Housing or Urban Development. This is the first time the phrase “Well, it’s not brain surgery” is actually a bad thing.
Conan O’Brien
Donald Trump is reportedly considering two Democrats for his cabinet. That’s right — and those Democrats are Donald Trump from 1996 and Donald Trump from 2004.
Minnesota’s Mall of America has hired its first-ever black Santa Claus. Which sounds like a big deal until you realize that in Minnesota, I’m considered black.
Donald Trump
