Editorial Reviews

Stephen Colbert isn’t going to be alone this Christmas. The TV funnyman will be visited by a host of A-list musical pals including Willie Nelson, Feist, Elvis Costello, Toby Keith, and John Legend -- not to mention Colbert’s fellow “journalist” Jon Stewart, who will duet with Colbert on original songs by Adam Schlesinger of Fountains of Wayne. Costello and the rest of the merrymakers join forces for the classic "(What's So Funny 'bout) Peace, Love and Understanding." DVD bonus features include a video Advent calendar, alternate endings, and a twisted Yule log. Portions of the DVD proceeds will support the Feeding America charity.
