🎄 It’s 1983, and my emotional support jack-in-the-box is not providing much help for my Imposter Syndrome.
🎙️ Tommy Coombs, Jayme Kilsby, and Chad Young join us for a deep dive into another pre-ALF puppet special from Paul Fusco starring a very depressed elf in training trying to find where he belongs in Santa’s workshop by first finding everywhere he doesn’t belong.
Plus: Santa’s Swedish Chef-like human hands!
A three-eyed purple teddy bear we never get to see!
Paul Fusco inserting himself into his own Christmas fan fiction!
📺 You can watch “Santa’s Magic Toy Bag” on Tubi.

💬 Topics & Tangents:
Sherman looks like A Gnome Named Gnorm.
The hot dog puppet from “Funland.”

The keeper of Santa’s Magic Toy Bag reminds me of the presidential designated survivor.
Superman impales some jerk’s truck on a telephone pole in “Man of Steel.”
