AppId is over the quota
A COLBERT CHRISTMAS: THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL was the first holiday special I watched this year and it did not disappoint. As always, Stephen Colbert presents himself as a jovial over-the-top traditionalist American blissfully unaware of the world around him. Actually though, this Christmas special delves very little into the realm of politics besides a "War on Christmas" song by Toby Keith early on. It mostly focuses on funny and original Christmas music as well as parodies of some of the classics. Musical guests include Toby Keith, John Legend, and Willie Nelson just to name a few.
I'm a loyal viewer of THE COLBERT REPORT, so I set this special to record on my DVR as soon as I heard about it. An interview that Colbert did on NPR last week that included some clips of songs that would appear in the Christmas special got me even more excited for it. I wasn't aware that Jon Stewart would also be joining in to ask Stephen "Can I interest you in Hanukkah?"
The plot is rather simple. Stephen is getting ready to leave his stereotypical winter cabin in the woods to go to New York to film his Christmas special with Elvis Costello. Much to Stephen's dismay, when he opens the door to leave he finds a bear (aka a giant, marauding, godless killing machine) waiting for him. After calling Elvis to explain his dilemma, many celebrities show up at Stephen's cabin for traditional Yuletide merry-making, while Stephen tries to think of a plan to escape his cabin and elude the bear's grasp as he heads to New York to film his Christmas special
Overall, I would highly recommend this Christmas special for anyone who likes a little satirical holiday cheer. It's certainly a must have for fans of THE COLBERT REPORT.
I don't own the DVD yet, I only saw the special on it's TV premiere last night. Thus, I'm not sure what types of special features are on the DVD. I'll update my review if and when I get the DVD.
