David Letterman has a tradition of having Darlene Love, who found success as a singer for the Crystals and as a solo artist, to sing Baby, Please Come Home on his show on the Friday before Christmas. This year, because of the strike, they showed a rerun tonight instead of a new show. Instead of watching Letterman, Adam and I had our traditional Christmastime viewing of Bill Murray's Christmas classic Scrooged. Scrooged has one of my favorite-ever lines in a movie, in a scene with Murray and Carol Kane as The Ghost Of Christmas Present: "The b*tch hit me with a toaster!"
Presumably the strike will be settled by Christmastime next year. So until then, here's a clip of Ms. Love's performance from last year.

I gots a poll re: who's the best Scrooge o'er at my place. Bill 'ent on th' list.
I love Carol Kane in that movie.
Merry Christmas to you and your family Johnny Yen, hope it's wonderful for all.
Watching the same movies over and over again at Christmas is a very laudable tradition.
Have a wonderful Christmas.
Ms Love is pure gold, thanks for that and thanks for being my friend JY!
the darlene love guest appearance is the ONLY reason i ever watch david letterman (who is not one of my favorites)
the rerun is not as good as the original, but any darlene is a good darlene
happy holidays to the yens
Danny-
Thanks and best to you and your family!
Hot Lemon-
He's my favorite, though I think most feel Alistair Sim's take in the 1951 movie Scrooge was the classic portrayal.
Deadspot-
She was great, wasn't she? They got great performances out of everybody. Robert Mitchum was hysterical as the crazy tv exec who wants to increase programming for pets.
Dale-
It's been, thanks! Hope you have a fun, peaceful and restful holiday!
Barbara-
It's funny how that is. I guess sometimes its good Christmas only comes once a year.
Skyler's Dad-
She is, isn't she, and the feeling's mutual!
Distributorcap-
