The setup

Three famously inarticulate screen icons squeeze into a holiday greeting card to tell America what they are grateful for this Thanksgiving.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

Framed inside a gaudy autumn greeting-card border, Tonto, Tarzan and Frankenstein's monster stand shoulder to shoulder, the latter two topped with pilgrim hats, to deliver a Thanksgiving message. Each takes a turn listing what he is thankful for in the trio's trademark clipped, verb-free English, with the monster mostly reduced to groans, and their gratitude swings from lofty world events like easing international tensions down to coconut cake and, inevitably, fire. The friends nudge, lean in and trade approving looks as the list grows, before the segment closes on a cheerful Happy Thanksgiving card.
