'Saturday Night Live Presents: A Very Gilly Christmas' (8PM, NBC)Would we be rather be seeing 'A Very Vincent Price Christmas' with Bill Hader or even 'A Very Mango Christmas'? Sure. But even if Kristen Wiig's annoying Gilly is getting (inexplicably) top billing in this two-hour special, there'll be plenty of holiday treats, too, as Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin make guest appearances, and the special unrolls the best holiday-themed clips of the past, including, of course, Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg's 'D**k in a Box,' Adam Sandler's 'Hanukkah Song,' and, we hope, we hope, we hope, that classic Gumby (Eddie Murphy) special that found Donny and Marie Osmond being very naughty as they got a little too nice with each other.
