💬 Topics & Tangents:  

1. The special audio featured here is from a YouTube upload by some guy holding his iPad’s camera up to his TV screen.  

2. Shari Lewis’s amazing single-color red dreamcoat and stylin’ menorah.  

3. Alan Thicke being Alan Thicke on Celebrity Family Feud.  

4. Lamb Chop in the Haunted Studio, an earlier Halloween special also featuring Alan Thicke.  

5. Charlie Horse’s prize-winning superhero, the stuff of someone’s very specific nightmares.  

6. They almost make it through a whole Hanukkah special without mentioning Christmas, but blow it at the end for no reason.
