We have some Thanksgiving binge-watching suggestions, but first you are required to watch the best Thanksgiving-themed episode of TV to ever air. Thems the rules.
Everyone is freaking out that there won’t be dragons in the ‘Game of Thrones’ prequel, but everyone is probably wrong.
‘The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade,’ ‘The Little Drummer Girl,’ more Christmas movies than you have time for, and everything else you don’t want to miss on TV this week

He is a natural fit for host of Saturday Night Live (which he has hosted three times previous to this appearance, he’ll be ushered into the Five-Timers Club in no time). He is goofy, game and giving (h/t Dan Savage). And it is because Carell is so funny that this episode receives such a low grade: it’s the expectation gap.
