The person behind the punchline
A little backstory.
Darlene Love is an American singer and actress who performs Christmastime for the Jews in Saturday Night Live’s TV Funhouse animation. The musical appearance brings her unmistakable holiday-song association into Robert Smigel’s comic account of a different kind of Christmas Eve.
Love began her recording career with the Blossoms and sang lead on He’s a Rebel, released under the Crystals’ name. Her own recording of Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) became a holiday standard. She has also performed on Broadway and played Trish Murtaugh in the Lethal Weapon films, alongside decades of vocal work for other artists.
