Back in the day, early seventies, the National Lampoon
Radio Hour was one of the funniest programs on the airwaves.
It starred a lot of the performers that would go on to
make Saturday Night Live a huge success.
Back when it was funny, of course.
This sketch first aired on the NLRH, then reprised a few years
later with the original cast on SNL.
Gilda Radner and Brian Doyle-Murray’s annoying younger
brother star as a little girl with a modest gift wish and a
recalcitrant Santa Claus respectively.
I love to play this on the show, brings back memories…
