I appreciate Tracy Morgan’s contribution to this the most. That little swing of the hips and bend of the knees is everything. And look how serious he is about Christmas!
I watched an interview and Jimmy Fallon said they were initially going to do this without him. He said he wanted to be involved and they said how? And he started doing the dance 😂

Its catchy without being annoying. It is a song of yearning without sadness. It is about Christmas, without any of those tired Christmas images or overtures. The background music also stands alone.
Danny B. They’re all funny and they all feed off eachother to make it work. Tracey is nothing without the rest. In fact Kattan and fat boy are the funniest . Ok I forgot fat boys name, he’s awesome tho. He looks like a lil fat kid who’s really serious about loving Christmas .
Tracy's bopping to the music while looking a serious as a dead man is so funny. That and the terrible pitch, rhythm with enthusiastic head turning by Chris make it swing!
That would be Steve Whitmire. He was a great Muppet puppeteer when it came to Kermit and Rizzo. He's not dead, but he was fired from The Muppets a few years ago. He's still in contact with his fellow Muppet performers and good friends with them.
@@BROJANGSTER Yeah in the 90s no....was probably a half assed sketch....hey lets plays a keyboard and do a shiddy christmas song last min. But after years they know, and YOU know....we all love it! The Casio is the glue!
@@timfoote6919 It was originally because NONE of these guys where any of the sketches in the Christmas episode. This was their only "appearance" in the show.
Tracy is obviously a star - But the real gem here must be Chris. I mean the dude is not singing, dancing or playing anything, he is literally just holding something and yet finds a way to make it entertaining- damm girl that’s talent!
THE MUPPETS!!!!! Animal & Chris could be twins... I love the way animal was even doing his head swing... I needed this. I've been sorta bah-humbug this year...this nocked some of the chip off my shoulder.
Glad to see that this video made you feel better. I know the holiday blues are real, so here's some rando on the internet hoping things brighten up and that chip feels lighter.
@@ericbukley2140 I noticed that immediately!! Animal was the PERFECT stand-in for Chris, LOL!!!! I'm glad this helped... I'm feeling it too, we watched this together as a family and laughed our asses off, before my husband went off to the hospital to be with his mom, while my son and I stayed home alone on Christmas eve. So yeah, this video was the thing we needed before parting... Merry Christmas!!!
I miss this so much! Now it's Christmastime. I lost it when the Muppets did their rendition, Kermit's dancing with his whirling Christmas hat. I think I woke up the neighbors.
This SNL sketch is actually near perfect to what a Christmas comedy skit should be. It never ceases to make you laugh, the tune is brilliantly simple, you love everyone’s part, you can NOT wait to watch it when it comes on and Tracy’s dance and expression steal the show!

It looks like he's actively avoiding looking at Chris Kattan and Tracy Morgan. Probably because he would burst out laughing if he actually looked at them.
Definitely by the third performance which was about a whole year later from the first. He probably anticipated doing it with the positive feed back they got and was more prepared.

@@dashkatae I like how you said I'm wrong and then said the same thing I said. It was the same people, doing the same bit, therefore they did it last year. Who cares what show it was on?
@@milesandemilyrock You said you didn't know why it wasn't on the compilation and it's because SNL and The Tonight Show are two different programs. Obviously, the people at SNL cared about that distinction, otherwise, it would have been in the compilation. Regardless though, you're not wrong about one being from last year, but you would have to look it up under The Tonight Show and not Saturday Night Live.
I’d love to see that too but sadly I think Kattan’s neck is too fucked up at this point after breaking it taking a prat fall during a 2001 Golden Girls skit. If you watch that last reunion of the group, you can kind of see on his face it’s killing him when he’s gotta turn his head back and forth. Also I think since then his relationship with Lorne & NBC became strained over the medical fees.
I love this bit, but I'll never understand how it survived the pitch meeting. "So Trace does nothing but dance the whole time?" "Yeah, yeah!" "and Chris Kattan just holds the keyboard? Does nothing else?" "Exactly!" "and the song is horrible?" "Oh, absolutely! It's terrible!"
I forgot they resurrected this for 2011-- that was amazing! I could feel Chris' neck pain radiating through the screen, poor guy-- but he rocked out like a champ. I hope they bring this back for 2021!
I had no idea there were so many performances of this, wow. The first one is the only one that gets rerun on the Xmas compilation episodes. Jimmy always messing up makes it 100% better. It adds to the “kids showing off a song they made” charm of the whole thing.
@@maulerXX this only features six renditions of the song, but they performed it eleven times on SNL. They're missing the Memorial Day version from 2001, a second Christmas one from 2001, both Easter versions (2002, 2004), and a summer version from 2003. It's also been performed on The Tonight Show in 2018.
If I was Jimmy or a person in charge of SNL for Christmas this skit would be done every year but changes a little whether with other people, other characters, etc. I can’t believe I just now fell in love with this. And… “I WISH IT WAS CHRISTMAS TODAY!”
To the intern that has been forced to make these compilation videos over the months: Thanks a million homeboy.
You're the real MVP.
Or homegirl*

@@abrahamcb it’s a compilation video, not a sandwich.
The muppets version is the cherry on top! LOL Kermit kills!
I appreciate Tracy Morgan’s contribution to this the most. That little swing of the hips and bend of the knees is everything. And look how serious he is about Christmas!
His face doesn't like Christmas.
I'm glad he's still with us. God bless him.
I watched an interview and Jimmy Fallon said they were initially going to do this without him. He said he wanted to be involved and they said how? And he started doing the dance 😂
He's the best part
I think they need to do this in a zoom chat style for 2020
I've watched this a dozen times and I still laugh all the way through it. Tracy's straight face and Kattan's inability to keep one is hilarious.

:) Yes. Tracy's Buster Keaton stone face is very funny, and Kattan impishly smiling like a seven-year-old in a family photo is contextually perfect.
It was always Fallon who couldn't keep a straight face. He nearly bust out laughing in every skit ever Lol
Same here
And their dance moves 😂
It’s kind of hard to explain why this is a great Christmas song, but it truly is a great Christmas song.
Exactly!
FACTS 💯
I know. I agree. I try and show people. And I end up hating them if they don’t just get it. Merry Christmas!

@@iHeartsNostalgiaPit That is extremely Hollywood.

Some say Tracey did nothing but dance, but I say HE IS THE SOUL of this band.
Hallelujah
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🖤🖤🖤
I don't care if tracy is a girls name, I just wish it was christmas today
This is the truth
Facts
I was playing this dumb video and I looked up and my cockatiel was dancing his heart out.
Video please. Would love to see it.
That guitar thing vibrates the cockatiels hollow leg. Our Charlie would dance his heart out to James Brown.
😂
Tracy's little dance is hilarious.
Chris’s, too. That little head turn
He's like the son in law over there in the corner, being like WTF I'm dooooing heeeeere🎵🎶🎶
Danny B. th-cam.com/video/W7Li2evQNIk/w-d-xo.html
its that serious "I love Christmas and you better love it, too" look......LOL
Danny B. They’re all funny and they all feed off eachother to make it work. Tracey is nothing without the rest. In fact Kattan and fat boy are the funniest . Ok I forgot fat boys name, he’s awesome tho. He looks like a lil fat kid who’s really serious about loving Christmas .
The extra clap and shouts when they mention the USA in the 2001 broadcast makes a lot of sense.
Trying to convince my wife to have her 5th grade class do this for their Christmas performance.
That would be amazingly soo cute
Yesss! Love that idea
Omg plzzzzz!!! And plz post!!!
YAAAAAASSSSS
That would be perfection!
Tracy's bopping to the music while looking a serious as a dead man is so funny. That and the terrible pitch, rhythm with enthusiastic head turning by Chris make it swing!
Tracy is so chill 😂
The minute Chris kattan starts the head turn is when I get the happiest! But Tracy Morgan’s hips and hands combo is perfection!
I also love when Chris knows he's out of the frame and he sticks his head into the shot from the side. I'm dyin'!
Kermit's hat is a whole vibe!!!.🤣🤣
Tracy's expressions are my favorite part of this. I doubt anyone else could make laugh just by dancing weakly while looking bored.
I never ever get sick of this. That song absolutely rules.
Agreed!!!!!
Whoever controlling Kermit dancing da real MVP 9:00
🐸
9:07 he goes into warp speed
That would be Steve Whitmire. He was a great Muppet puppeteer when it came to Kermit and Rizzo. He's not dead, but he was fired from The Muppets a few years ago. He's still in contact with his fellow Muppet performers and good friends with them.
Jimmy Fallon looks SO YOUNG!! Like a shy high school kid who's so happy to be up there performing.
I also appreciate that it's never quite the same song each time.
I honestly cant decide what I love more: Tracy's little hip swing, Tans head swing, Haratios enthusiasm, or Kermits headbang😂😂😂
No love for Fallon?
All em
Tracy is the glue that holds this skit together
That and the elephant calls
This is one of the best things SNL has done ever.
I wonder if they had any clue how iconic this would become?!?!?!

Mango!
That was a Stupid observation. ANY one from the audience can do that very same thing.
Anybody here that saw the very first when when it happened and can't get enough of it since?
Oh Yeh, Me!😂
Ha no, I remember seeing it when it was aired. I’m old lol. Great cast at that time.
Hahahaha ! Kermit is killing me !
Kermit was trying to steal the show but we all know Animal is the damn star.
2024 seems like the perfect year to bring these guys back for an encore!
The world needs it!
I know the last time they performed this was two years ago, but we really need a 20th anniversary performance.
I wonder if Chris Kitan would be willing to be a part given the back injury he suffered during one of the sketches.
I thought his neck injury was from a car accident? They did do a re-do last year I think? With Ariana Grande 😂
A zoom based version. For charity???
@@stacy8422 Chris apparently hurt his neck live on air while performing an MSNBC/Golden Girls sketch

I feel like Rowlf the dog would have been the obvious choice to play keyboards.
It's not Christmas until I've watched this sketch! Come here every year!
Tracy Morgans dance is what keeps me going.
Tracy Morgan is a mood
This is my December 1st tradition, to play this and send it to everyone
My favorite part is the cascade of snow off the keyboard when they bow.
Tracy Morgan essentially has the same role as Jason Sudeikis in the “What’s Up With That” sketch 😂
Kermie dancing in the background just about killed me! 😂
ME TOOOO🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ahhhaaa me three!! 😂🤣🤣🤣😂
Me four
Ditto. Amazing moves for a frog. I think he even threw in a twerk!😂😂
At 9:07 he went sicko mode 😭
I’ll never forget that night watching SNL in December 2000. Fell in love with that song 𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 ❤️ 🌲 It’s now a Christmas classic!! 🧑🎄

🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸
👍🏻
Obviously his hat is sewn on….
Anyone slightly annoyed that there wasn't a bigger reaction from the audience when Kermit showed up? Respect the frog, people! 🐸 🤣
I was thinking about that!
This SNL sketch is actually near perfect to what a Christmas comedy skit should be. It never ceases to make you laugh, the tune is brilliantly simple, you love everyone’s part, you can NOT wait to watch it when it comes on and Tracy’s dance and expression steal the show!
You can watch it multiple times and not get everything. 😂 🎄

They were having a fine time! 😁👍🎉

David Stackhouse and not enough!
They left out the one they did once in June .
And that’s not even all of them

Tracy Morgan always kills it and never breaks. I had to stop it at 2:58 so I could reply.
Fozzie Bear is better on the keyboard than Fallon 🤣

It's not Christmas without this!!!
whoever did this deserves a raise!
I love that there is absolutely no need for Tracy Morgan to be involved... but when you watch him he is definitely the best part haha. I love this
This is by far, to me, the best Christmas song! If SNL released a compilation album of all the SNL songs, I would be preordering it as fast as I can!
Finally...I am in the Christmas spirit.
👍👍SNL!!
