It's a YouTube Christmas - Pt. 4

From time to time this upcoming Christmas season, I'll be posting some amazing videos that have been rescued by people like us and posted at the mecca of all things wonderful and obscure - YouTube.

I invite you to add a fun comment, witticism, clever remark, or observation in the comments section provided. Any comments deemed worthy of repeating will be included into this entry where all the world will see it.

This is a Bing Crosby clip unlike any other. Bing was the semi-permanent host of "The Hollywood Palace" and hosted many of his earlier Christmas specials in conjunction with that program.

On December 25, 1965, Bing didn't appear with his family on the show (that tradition started in 1966). Instead, he invited the stars from a CBS show he produced called "Hogan's Heroes" to appear with him over the ABC television network. Feel free to skip past the Sylvania flash bulb commercial to around the 1:00 mark:




I know nothing, NOTHING!

What do you think?

Thanatos says: I keep wanting Major Hochstetter to burst in and arrest them all...

Any other opinions?
