Gordon: Not at all. He loves your wishbone
Chico: Heh... Anyway, welcome back to WLTI. Thanks for being a part of our week and allowing our week to be a part of you. It's the holiday season again, and what better way to say Season's Greetings than wtih 'Season's Greetings'.
Gordon: We create a card for our loves...and hates. Starting with...

Astroboy. He needs love this week.

Chico: So you want to be just like Kanye / Here's hoping you grow a heart one day / Happy still don't care about you.

Chico: Nice. Next.l.

Chico: Scotty, congrats on making the Triangle proud. Looking forward to your next move... Fair warning, if it's Spamalot, we'll do you like we did Clay Aiken.

There once was a guy who could croon
that caused the ladies to swoon
The brown haired moppet
made everyone profit
So we hope his career goes over the moon

GSNN

Chico: Big shoes to fill, you guys.
Gordon: Not really, when you look at it. What have you seen Nota and Committed do?
Chico: Release CDs. And that's it.
Gordon: And how did those cds do again?
Chico: I have no idea, but I'm guessing not very good.
Gordon: You remember a top 40 hit from either of them?
Chico: No.
Gordon: Nota had some success on the US Latin Charts, but thats it. Committed had no success anywhere
Chico: Killer. Okay, that's Season's Greetings. Now that we've handed cards, Gordon and I are going a wassailing after the break.

VIEWER MAIL

“

Brian Sapinski As Karina gets her vindication, we still sit confused as to why DWTS will be on GSN. We get their plan, but it still doesn't feel right.

”

Chico: Thanks, Brian. Yeah, we went over this. It's one of those things that works on paper, but is it going to get ratings or dollars? No.
Gordon: It will give ABC dollars and GSN another dark mark on the BOO list
Chico: We need another Bob Boden, basically. Someone who's not afraid to take a calculated risk. (i.e. Russian Roulette)
Gordon: We do. And he's available.
Chico: Come on, now.
Gordon: So with that wish, that ends our show. Special thanks to no one in particular, since it's just Chico and I today
Chico: Next week, we crown a Sing-Off champion. Who will it be? Who knows!
Gordon: We'll find out next time. Until then this is Gordon, saying Game Over and Spread the Love
Chico: :-)
