As Mystery Science Theater 3000 proved, there's gold to be mined from failed art; cringeworthy entertainment can be so bad it's good. Such is the case with Bing Faithful's holiday showcase, which would be unwatchable were it not so intelligently self-mocking. With drunken Christmas standards and "dance" breaks offered up with a wink, we know he knows it's terrible, and therein lies the fun. The befuddled Bing is plenty smart in real life; as impresario Bob Kulhan, he teaches improvisation to elite MBA students at UCLA, Duke, and Columbia.
