"Wha-choo talkin' 'bout, Santa?"
Like many others, I've been touched by the recent, sudden death of actor Gary Coleman. I've been a longtime fan, and I want to point out that he appeared in several Christmas programs--including several forgettable roles in made-for-TV Christmas movies. However, this holiday episode from the TV series Diff'rent Strokes is my favorite. The 1982 episode is entitled 'Santa's Helper' and guest stars funny man Garrett Morris, a veteran of the sketch comedy institution Saturday Night Live and the sitcom Martin. This episode is awesome because Arnold (Coleman) takes on work as a bell-ringing, sidewalk Santa Claus under the tutelage of the dubious Mr. Jones (Morris).
