Edits

• Sullivan's introduction to the "Rock 'n Roll Monster" sketch is re-dubbed, as Sullivan initially pronounced Jim's name incorrectly.
• The "Christmas Reindeers" skit is slightly edited, removing a joke pertaining to "The Christmas Song."
• The "Octopus' Garden" performance is also edited; originally, after Sullivan's introduction of the Muppets, a short clip from the Beatles' Yellow Submarine film, where the band looks out the window, was played before dissolving to the Muppets' performance.
