You can tell we’re in the home stretch here. The talk shows are beginning to bring out the big guns.
The next few days see not one, but two appearances by Melissa Etheridge promoting her Christmas album and Kristen Chenoweth talking about hers on CBS News “Sunday Morning.”
And as if a week of Tony Bennett wasn’t enough to conjure the season, Leno has called on that other sure-fire harbinger of the holidays, Johnny Mathis, to work his magic.
