“It’s a Russell Peters Christmas” (with apologies to “Deck the Halls”)
It’s… a Rus-sell Pe-ters Christ-mas / Tell all your friends, or they’ll be mad
Once a year, you can not miss this / If you do you’ll get a hurt real bad
We are wea-ring, gay ap-parell / Yes we all have is-sues with our dad
Hol-iday is time for pure bliss / We can guarantee that you’ll be glad
It’s…. a Rus-sell Pe-ters Christ-mas / It’s the most fun, that you can get
If you dis-agree, then you can kiss this / When the song is over, we’re not done yet
Now, it’s time to get down to busi-ness / Russell’s flying in on his private jet
Watch it now in high def-ini-tion / Before the nerds post it on the in-ter-net
Welcome to my Christmas special / Set your PVR for Christmas glee
It’s kinda corny and sentimental / And it’s starring meeeeeeeeeeee!
Russell’s the best gift you’ll get for free
Toronto, ON (November 14, 2011) – What happens when a comedy heavyweight, his brethren of Canadian and international showbiz friends, and a requisite frozen pond surrounded by lit-up Christmas trees collide? One heck of a Christmas special, that’s what! Anchoring its
holiday lineup, CTV presents the world premiere of the original Canadian production A RUSSELL PETERS CHRISTMAS in the hottest timeslot of the week, Thursday, Dec. 1 at 9 p.m. ET on CTV and CTV Mobile. The special is also the centrepiece of the
holiday schedule on The Comedy Network, premiering there on Saturday, Dec. 10 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. Helping
Peters make merriment in A RUSSELL PETERS CHRISTMAS are
Michael Bublé,
Pamela Anderson,
Ted Lange,
Faizon Love,
Jon Lovitz,
Goapele,
Scott Thompson and his own mother and baby daughter.
Inspired by the variety shows of yesteryear, Peters puts his own irreverent twist on the Christmas special, making it unlike anything viewers have seen before. Along with the obligatory carolers, winter wonderland setting, and cheesy glad tidings, A RUSSELL PETERS CHRISTMAS features legendary comedians, lingerie models, Pamela Anderson as the Virgin Mary, and the bartender from THE LOVE BOAT. With a mix of Russell Peters stand-up; hilarious sketch featuring guest stars and Peters’ own mother, Maureen and baby daughter, Crystianna; stop-motion animation reminiscent of a Rankin/Bass classic (set in Bramalea, no less); and show-stopping musical performances including the incomparable Michale Bublé, it’s a holiday special like no other.
