November 30, 1977 –
Bing Crosby’s last Christmas special premiered on this date. The program was recorded in September, and Crosby died that October.
The show is remembered for Crosby’s unusual duet with David Bowie, where they sing a modified version of Little Drummer Boy, with Bowie singing the new Peace On Earth lyrics composed by the show’s writers. Even more strange is, when Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly in 2010, filmed a shot-for-shot remake, even sticking to the original dialogue.
