It’s kind of hard to explain why this is a great Christmas song, but it truly is a great Christmas song.

[@vsedai]

Exactly!

[@eyedontbowlempress7643]

FACTS 💯

[@Ego-de4dt]

I know. I agree. I try and show people. And I end up hating them if they don’t just get it. Merry Christmas!

[@superduperjoi6800]

300th like

[@helga4791]

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.

[@sweetpea3153]

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.

[@romeoromeo9394]

Christmas is coming New music video for the song Новое музыкальное видео: CORONAVIRUS - I Saved the World Today (Eurythmics) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpbNhWuuadqHrbc

[@vivianamuntean146]

:) 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.

[@Vanessa_pIayz]

It was always Fallon who couldn't keep a straight face. He nearly bust out laughing in every skit ever Lol

[@ramc2516]

Same here

[@Lifebelifin6180]

And their dance moves 😂

[@KateMich12]

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!

[@notchedbandit]

His face doesn't like Christmas.

[@Gia.325]

I'm glad he's still with us. God bless him.

[@LKT1215]

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 😂

[@brandonshaw7619]

He's the best part

[@kraziefotoboi]

I think they need to do this in a zoom chat style for 2020

The minute Chris kattan starts the head turn is when I get the happiest! But Tracy Morgan’s hips and hands combo is perfection!

[@JillKnapp]

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'!

[@Daniel_Zalman]

Tracy's little dance is hilarious.

[@UnderTheTableGremlin]

Chris’s, too. That little head turn

[@TennesseeVolfan]

its that serious "I love Christmas and you better love it, too" look......LOL

[@Puddycat00]

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 .

[@CraigJohn-kt6xe]

I never ever get sick of this. That song absolutely rules.

[@adamdorgant9454]

[@paulh2981]

Tracy's expressions are my favorite part of this. I doubt anyone else could make laugh just by dancing weakly while looking bored.

[@JesusVazquez-nf9dx]

Tracy is the glue that holds this skit together

[@DannoHung]

That and the elephant calls

[@thesauce8865]

I honestly cant decide what I love more: Tracy's little hip swing, Tans head swing, Haratios enthusiasm, or Kermits headbang😂😂😂

[@eclectica1]

No love for Fallon?

[@aaronchapin1367]

All em

[@Guggelake]

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!

I’ll never forget that night watching SNL in December 2000. Fell in love with that song 𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 ❤️ 🌲 It’s now a Christmas classic!! 🧑‍🎄

[@eclectica1]

I know the last time they performed this was two years ago, but we really need a 20th anniversary performance.

[@jamesanderson348]

I wonder if Chris Kitan would be willing to be a part given the back injury he suffered during one of the sketches.

[@stacy8422]

[@dashkatae]

@@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 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.

[@vesuvianvillain]

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.

[@dma69nyc]

Second to one. There is a legendary version on Vimeo that falls short of perfection because Chris and Tracy aren't there but Julian Casablancas blows every other version out of the water and ?uestlove and the Roots channel their best Chris and Tracy. The pure joy of everyone wanting to jam out elevates it to the top of the top especially Julian's smile as he watches Jimmy and Horatio lose their minds.

SNL why aren't we still doing this? This should be at least once ever December 😊

[@Folknfunk]

Yes! I totally agree😄

Nah, randomly and unexpectedly every few years is best. Wait til people have just forgotten it, then BAM.

Chris Kattan broke his neck on set in 2001 and was nearly paralyzed from it. He probably can’t do the skit anymore. Edit: I noticed there were segments after 2001 and he moved his neck just fine, so now I’m questioning everything, lol.

Damn, Sanz in 2011 was...a bit of a hottie? Heeeeyyyyyy ;) And I love how over it Tracy Morgan is as the years press on, but I know that's part of the act, LOL :)

Kermit was trying to steal the show but we all know Animal is the damn star.

Just this afternoon I was searching for every single to listen to it, and then snl did the job for me giving them all to me in one single video.
