It was Christmas in July last night when Larry the Cable Guy cracked Nashville’s T-Pac theater wide open for the taping of his annual Hula-Palooza Christmas Luau.

The holiday special will premiere Friday, November 20 at 9:00 p.m. – 10:30 p.m., ET/PT on CMT.

Returning this year to CMT, Larry’s 90-minute special includes such guest stars as Kenan Thompson (“Saturday Night Live”), Caroline Rhea, George Lindsey (“The Andy Griffith Show”), comedians Reno Collier and Jon Reep, Peter Oldring, Sara Erikson, the MuzikMafia’s Two Foot Fred, mentalist Marc Salem and returning favorites Tony Orlando and Angela Little MacKenzie (“Reno 911”).

It was a perfect date night for me and my husband.  Just the right mix of comedy and music when Zac Brown Band and Billy Currington hit the stage.

Make sure to set your DVR’s to tape the special or pick up a copy of the DVD when it’s available on Tuesday, November 24th.

Watch for Country Girl and her hubby cheering on Santa in the wrestling skit.  We are just behind the wrestling ring on the risers.
