Canadian funny man Russell Peters brings a comedic charm to his very own holiday special, 'A Russell Peters Christmas.'  He describes the show as a “throwback to the seventies.”
 

“I loved the seventies,” says Peters. “I loved the Dean Martin Show and Carol Burnett.”
 

The holiday special guest stars a number of Peters’ famous friends, including Michael Bublé, Jon Lovitz, Faison Love, Scott Thompson, Goapele, as well as Pamela Anderson who portrays the Virgin Mary in one segment.
 

Peters’ mother and daughter also make appearances in his special.
 

“I’m afraid she might’ve peaked too early,” Peters jokes about his infant daughter’s performance.
 

Also airing on television this holiday season are two of Peters’ recent shows, Red, White and Brown and The Green Card Tour.
 

You can catch Peters in the upcoming films (out December 9) 'New Year’s Eve' and 'Girl in Progress' (out May 11 next year).
 

'A Russell Peters Christmas' airs On December 1 at 9pm EST on CTV.
