Pick of the Week: "A Very Gilly Christmas"

I had a little trouble with this week’s Pick…

My first instinct—as always—is to go with Bravo. And the “Top Chef” reunion would have been a good choice. But I know you guys get tired of that so I wanted to go with something else…

So my second instinct was to choose “CSI: Miami” which featured Adam Rodriguez returning as Delko. But if you watched that last night, you know I made a good call not picking that one (I’ll be discussing the problems with that show later.).

So finally in the spirit of the holidays, I chose to go with a holiday related pick...

My Pick of the Week is “Saturday Night Live Presents: A Very Gilly Christmas.”

This special, which will be hosted by Kristen Wiig’s character, Gilly, shows some of the funniest holiday sketches from “SNL” both past and present.

Of course the problem with a special like this is that with only two hours something is bound to be left out and I’m sure that something will be my favorite holiday sketch featuring Jan Hooks and Nora Dunn doing a hilarious holiday music medley. But we can still enjoy the classic Gumby sketch and many more from a time when “SNL” was actually funny…

“Saturday Night Live Presents: A Very Gilly Christmas” airs Thursday, December 17th at 8 p.m. on NBC…
