TVNewsCheck is spending today counting our blessings, which means we’re much too busy to send out any newsletters. All that returns tomorrow. Merry Christmas and much (Darlene) Love to all.
Darlene Love’s annual television performance of Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) was essentially orphaned after CBS’s Late Show With David Letterman went off the air in 2015, putting an end to the 28-year streak that had the music legend singing her signature holiday song with Paul Shaffer‘s band on Letterman’s last original show before Christmas each December. But they all reunited — not over the air, but on YouTube — for a resumption of the tradition.
