‘Scrooged’…A Funny Secret!

‘Scrooged’ Paramount Pictures, 1988

I’ll bet you never recognized all four of the street carolers insulted by Bill Murray…I didn’t either. The leader is Paul Shaffer and the others are Miles Davis, David Sanborn and Larry Carlton, three of the biggest names in jazz. The names of the Christmas television shows from the IBC Network, of which clips were shown were “Scrooge”, “Father Loves Beaver”, “The Night the Reindeer Died” and “Bob Goulet’s Old Fashioned Cajun Christmas”. The network’s promotional slogan for these TV shows was “Yule Love It!”. Sam Kinison was originally slated to play the part of The Ghost of Christmas Past but the part eventually went to David Johansen due to his friendship with Bill Murray. The cameras were RCA TK44s.
