Martin Short Takes Over As Director Of ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ Pageant On ‘SNL’


'SNL's new Charlie Brown sketch sees Martin Short's Drake Tuttle take over as pageant director in the iconic character's absence.

We cut to the Charlie Brown kids dancing to iconic theme song “Linus and Lucy” ahead of the beginning of rehearsal, when Martin Short enters and yells, “Stop dancing!” The director then introduces his choreographer, Le’Stat, played by Bowen Yang, who insists that he’s a genius. Tuttle has some interaction with Pig-Pen (Mikey Day) — though he keeps referring to him as “pig penis.” He also expresses his tolerance for kids on the spectrum after engaging with a boy in a red shirt who loves his blanket (Marcello Hernandez).
