December 9, 2011 - Sonny and Cher's Rock and Roll Christmas Medley

You don't see them much anymore, but back in the 70s, you couldn't get through the Christmas season without the traditional variety show Christmas extravaganza.  This one, from the Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour, feautres guests including Bernadette Peters, Captain Kangaroo, and, I believe, Shields and Yarnell.  Since this requires the video to really bring home its insane holiday spirit, here you go:



Even a recent star makes an appearance here -- yes, it's Dancing with the Stars' own Chaz Bono (although back then he was going by the name "Chastity," and he was a girl).  Could the trama of seeing his/her Mommy, Cher, kissing Santa Claus have led to transgender issues?  Or did the inclusion of Elijah Blue Allman, Mommy's new son with Gregg Allman, cause confusion in a show featuring her/his Mommy and Daddy singing together? 

Looking at this, I think we could easily put together a Kardashian sisters variety show.  Get on this, E!
