'The Late Show' presents 'Colbert's Canceled Christmas: The Last Noel'

Change of plans — instead of awards show coverage, I'm going to post something holiday-themed, Colbert's Canceled Christmas: The Last Noel.

When Donald Trump cancels Christmas, sends ICE to the North Pole, and bulldozes Santa's workshop to build his new Trumpmas Ballroom, Santa and friends must escape Alligator Elfcatraz and bring joy back to the world. Can they stop Trump before he overstuffs Santa's sack with his big bribin' ball? Will we ever learn the naughty names on the top secret Elfstein List? Does the special have a Celebrity Christmas Narrator? Yes! It's Jolly Ol' Nick Offerman, in COLBERT'S CANCELED CHRISTMAS: THE LAST NOEL!
Sadly, this is the last Christmas for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, but at least he, his writers, and crew of animators left this present for his viewers. I couldn't resist sharing it with my readers.

By the way, Stephen's cameo where he mentions the rumor — and it's only a rumor — that he and Rachel Maddow will be hosting a show on Netflix reminds me that I promised to follow through on Sesame Street's eventual distributor once its deal with HBO ends. It's Netflix.
The iconic and beloved children’s series moves to Netflix for its 56th season. Unlike the show’s previous arrangement with HBO, new episodes of Sesame Street will be available on Netflix and PBS Kids the same day.
That's an improvement. Also, if Netflix finalizes its purchase of Warner Brothers, it will mean that the show will have the same parent company after all. That would be ironic, although it's not assured. Paramount could still prevail in its hostile takeover bid, but that's a topic for a future Sunday entertainment feature, but not this Sunday. That will be Yule/Winter Solstice, when I blog about Christmas Monsters. Priorities. Also, stay tuned.
