Promo for Bonanza.          

September 16, 1965-May 24, 1974. This was the Christmas Show broadcast. A variety hour hosted by Dean Martin. Several of the shows were celebrity "roasts," set at a banquet table, in which the guest of honor was showered with insults by other celebs. Regulars of the series included pianist Ken Lane (1965-1972), Kay Medford, Lou Jacobi, The Golddiggers, Marian Mercer (1971-1972), Tom Bosley (1971-1972), Rodney Dangerfield (1972-1973), Dom DeLuise (1972-1973), and Nipsey Russell (1972-1974). 

NOTE: An unusual ending as over thirty celebrities each state to children in a different orphanage in the USA that Santa is on his way.
