Jimmy and Horatio Sanz reunited tonight to play their famous little Christmas song, "I Wish It Was Christmas Today." Then Strokes lead singer, Julian Casablancas, with a little help from The Roots, joined in to take this to a whole new level of AMAZING:

Merry Christmas, from all of us at Late Night!!

Tonight! Don't miss a new edition of Freestylin' with The Roots! This time, they must improvise songs about our audience members, complete with fun holiday facts about each person.

We don't post these segments on-line as stand-alone clips, so you've got to watch on the TV (or in our full episode player tomorrow)!

• The great Roger Ebert selects his top films of 2009 and breaks them down into two easy to use categories. Thanks Roger. (Roger Ebert's Journal)


• It's been an interesting decade based on the catch phrases its produced. Here are the 50 best. "Gosh!" (BroBible)


• Let's all admit that its been a pretty geeky decade. But in a good way. Being a geek is cool. Here are the Top 50 Geeky Moments of 2009. (Asylum)


• Well, I guess looking back on it in this way, this was the year of the Snuggie. Even we're on this list. (Village Voice)

Two employees, Desi and Wanda, made a shocking discovery while trying out facial recognition software on this laptop. Oh boooooey:

More like "racial recognition", right? (Ooooooo, burn.) But on the bright side, someone give Desi and Wanda their own show! They're great! (via)

Tonight comedian, actor, writer and roastmaster Jeffrey Ross will be on Late Night. Ross is best known for his insult comic style stand up and for his being the current "Roastmster General" for the New York Friar's Club.

He has hosted the past six Comedy Central Roasts including the roasts of Bob Saget, Flavor Flav, and William Shatner. Ross also has a new book out about his roasting techniques entitled I Only Roast The Ones I Love. If you're in NYC, he will be performing for four nights at Carolines on Broadway so you should go see him. This is unconfirmed, but I'm sure some of his friends call him "The Rossmaster". I bet he'd destroy me if I said that to him. Tune in tonight!

If you watched the show on Friday, you may have noticed that Ronnie Spector performed a second song (with The Roots) during the closing credits. We have the full performance here for you! This was really fabulous:

I feel cozy!

It's "Terrific Tweets!" Where each week I bring you some Twitter highlights (or tweets that tickled my fancy) from casually browsing and using the site throughout the week.

Welcome to Terrific Tweets (in no particular order)!

1. @TeresaKopec I return from Invictus UPLIFTED yet still strangely ignorant about the rules of rugby.

2. @CourtneyReimer It's a Wonderful Life is on. In other words: I'll be crying my eyes out. In other words: it's just another Saturday night.

3. @maraherron I may be broke, but these arms = priceless hug machine.

4. @diablocody Eating a gingerbread house for breakfast. A new low.

5. @WhitneyCummings People say romantic comedies are unrealistic? Nah. My relationships are exactly like romantic comedies: they only last two hours.

Bebop! Rocksteady! Get me my hoodie! Let's get those Turtles!

Woweewow, look at this hoodie! This actually looks like Shredder. It's a tough hoodie for fiercely fighting in the underworld sewers and leading the Foot Clan. I mean, people gotsta stay warm and hoodied when they're leading the Foot Clan you know? The Shredder Hoodie has it all - a face mask, Shredder's colors, and plush spikes to show that you mean business like the real Shredder. It actually looks pretty comfy and warm too. I hope they make a Krang Hoodie next, that looks like a giant poly-cotton shell with a soft fuzzy little brain man inside. It would be perfect for bumming around the Technodrome. We can dream.

Christmas is only a few days away, kiddies. All I'm saying is, sometimes you have to re-live your childhood, especially at the holidays. I wouldn't mind wearing that thing around the house. So for now, you can send the Shredder Hoodies to my attention at our offices. Do it, Foot Clan! (Or buy it for your favorite TMNT head! I'll be fine!)
