Kenan

Man, I really love the Grinch.

I mean, that dog is definitely in bondage,

but it was a different time

Hey, y'all can be cool with that dude if you want to,

but if he try to steal my Who hash,

I go straight to the lockbox on him.

Get thing one and thing two in that ass.

Daddy, what is uncle Gary talking about?

Nothing. He's just being silly.

He definitely does not have a firearm in my house.

-No. -Well...

I think it's bedtime.

Aw. Already?

Actually, I was talking about Papa Rick.

I had three real hard eggnogs

But I do think it's time for the two of you

to take yourselves to bed as well.

Tomorrow is family Christmas Day

Doesn't Santa get upset

that we open our presents a day early every year?

Santa knows that come Christmas morning,

I have to be in the studio to do our holiday spectacular,

and he'll bring you presents

for you to find when you get home.

Come on, ladies, let's see how many Christmas stories

I can get through before I blackout

-Good night. -Good night.

Good night.

I hate Grandma stories.

You ready?

You already know, dog.

Oh!!

Hey, bro. You good? -No.

Thank you, family. Thank you.

I appreciate you all very much

Whoo! Williams brothers take down another Christmas.

-And Rick. -Man, all you did was drink.

Hey, you got your family traditions, I got mine.

Well, speaking of traditions,

tomorrow I'm going to need you to stay sober

so you can watch your granddaughters at the studio,

while Gary and I make the little children of Atlanta

happy playing Santa and his trusty elf.

Oh, hold up, man. I can't do the elf thing anymore.

What? What you talking about man?

You can't miss out

on the Annual Wake Up with Kenan Holiday Spectacular.

The community is counting on the Williams brothers.

I know, man, but I think I might sign a new client.

Whoa. That's huge.

Right?

Wait, wait, wait, wait, what new client?

Oh, this hilarious comedian I met in LA

when you dragged your whole family out there

to shoot the reboot for your old sitcom.

The train wreck of a reboot. What a waste of three months.

And whose idea was it to cast you as Katt Williams' father?

-We took a big swing. -I'll say.

Look, Shaunda is only in town for Christmas Day,

and she chose to spend it with me

mostly because she hates her mama.

But still, Merry Christmas, Gary.

So what? You just going to abandon your family?

Look, come on, man, this could be the first client

I have that I haven't taken a bath with.

There's an image I didn't need.

You know what? Hey, I'm excited for you.

-Thank you. -But I don't know.

I feel like you might be taking on a little too much, you know?

Like, you already bailing on me,

and you haven't even signed your second client yet.

You know what? Okay. All right. You right.

It's not fair to abandon you like that, man.

I take care of it, all right?

Uh, just out of curiosity,

how old were y'all when he took them baths?

12 and 10, but he had a wild imagination.

He used to think that sharks are gonna come up

through the pipes and bite them on the pee-pee.

Another image I didn't need.

And this year's holiday spectacular is gonna be

even bigger than last year's.

We're gonna broadcast for seven hours straight.

We're gonna have activities and performances

for the community to enjoy

and a huge holiday toy drive for the kids.

Oh, I brought something for the kids.

-Oh. -Say hello to Pam Chop.

Her mouth is as dirty as she is.

Hey, kid. You ever wonder why your

is so close to your?

Okay.

Pam, you said that if I took you off the sports desk,

I could trust you to host this thing.

It's not my fault people want their Pam edgy.

Come on, Mika, you just got to believe

that we're gonna kick butt and have a very Merry Christmas.

Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho.

Uh-uh, Santa don't roll with that many hos.

Oh, yeah. No, the five hos is how I make it my own.

Yeah, I believe in the industry we call it a "penta-ho"

Don't try me, Santa. Now, where's Gary?

We finally got the blood out of his elf costume.

He'll be here.

But remember, it's your responsibility to keep him safe

from those little biters this year.

Yes, I am aware of my duties as executive producer,

which is basically doing everything by myself

while you fools add extra hos and making nasty socks talk.

Mika, I can't speak for them or myself really.

I am resting my voice for the musical finale,

but I won't let you down.

Thank you, Tami. Song is gonna be great.

Phil, you ready to stroke those keys?

Thanks to my Zoom cooking class,

I won't be stroking anything for a long time.

-Well, if you need some help-- -Not a word, Pam Chop.

Great. How am I going to find a keyboard player on Christmas?

My father-in-law could do it.

I mean, he's already here watching the girls.

-I thought he played the sax. -He plays it all--

Bongos, congos, anything that leads to the horizontal mambo.

I thought I played a sax once.

Turns out it was a Pam Chop!

Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho.

No. Six is too many. I heard it when I said.

-I liked it. -Thank you, man. Uh, who this?

This is Jordan, your early Christmas present.

Cool. I mean, does he sing or make waffles?

'Cause that would be really cool.

He's your new assistant.

But, no, I can sing, and I'll be happy to get you a waffle.

Do you prefer syrup or whipped cream?

As a matter of fact, I'll just bring you both--one second.

So, uh, what's up with dude?

Look, man, I heard what you said

about dropping the ball, and you were so right.

So I fixed the problem.

Yeah, but I thought

you was gonna blow off that other client.

I mean, has Jordan even had any previous elfing experience?

You don't need experience to get bit

by a bunch of damn kids.

Look, whatever you need, he got you.

I don't know.

Brother got waffles and a perfect pitch.

Y'all have fun. Ooh, off to my meeting.

Damn. I guess I don't want to let this go to waste.

-You can wait outside. -Yes, sir.

Okay, no pressure, everyone, but this performance

could be my ticket out of this Podunk town.

What's a Podunk town?

It's a town where most people aren't vaccinated.

Hey, ladies, focus. Rick, hit it.

Uh, not yet.

I have this little issue that I need to bring to the band.

Okay.

I should sing lead. -Ha!

Excuse me? I'm an incredible singer.

Yeah, but I'm a professional.

I'm used to being front and center,

and you're used to playing second fiddle

on Kenan's morning show.

No offense.

Ooh.

Rick, I sing lead.

That's why we're called

Tami and the "Wake Up" Christmas Band.

Now, stop being such a diva and do as I say.

There's only one diva in this room,

and it ain't me or her, her, them or him.

-I think he's saying it's you. -I get it, Bruce!

"Wake Up with Kenan" Holiday Spectacular.
