Oh please, please have Paul Simon in the turkey costume.
Please have Paul Simon in the turkey costume where he can't fit through the door and has giant turkey feet.
We'll take Adam Sandler’s “Turkey Song, but serious singer-songwriter Paul Simon dressed as an overstuffed turkey is the perfect start to Thanksgiving.
As you prep tonight for Thanksgiving, the 2-hour “Saturday Night Live” Thanksgiving special reheats some of the funny, popular sketches pegged to the holiday. It airs at 8 p.m. tonight on NBC.
Thanksgiving-theme sketches "Ed Grimley's Thanksgiving," "Greetings From Tonto, Tarzan and Frankenstein," and, of course, "Adam Sandler's Turkey Song" are the perfect accompaniment to setting up tables, washing the serving pieces and cooking make-ahead dishes.

Fingers crossed for Paul Simon in the turkey costume.
If not the turkey costume, perhaps flying turkeys.
If you have access to "WKRP in Cincinnati," the TV 1978-82 sitcom set on the staff of a struggling fictional radio station, turn on the "Turkeys Away" episode. This very funny episode has bumbling station manager and owner's son Arthur Carlson doing a gimmicky Thanksgiving promotion — dropping live turkeys from a helicopter.
He has one of the greatest sitcom lines ever: "As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly."
We found "Turkeys Away" airing at 8:30 tonight on ANTEN 85 (Antenna TV).
