Back in the day (~40 years ago), TV stations and networks would join forces to create "Christmas tape," containing the best outtakes, foul-ups, and pranks like this one. This tape would not be released to the general public, but I got a copy through my media contacts. I still have that VHS copy, but -- without a VCR -- I have no way to play it. Not even sure the tape would survive intact.

Maybe that tradition should be revived...
