Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (TV special) Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is a 1964 Christmas stop motion animated television special produced by Rankin/Bass Productions and currently distributed by Universal Television. It first aired Sunday, December 6, 1964, on the NBC television network in the United States, and was sponsored by General Electric under the umbrella title of "The General Electric Fantasy Hour". The special was based on the Johnny Marks song "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" which was itself based on the poem of the same name written in 1939 by Marks' brother-in-law, Robert L. May. Since 1972, the special has aired on CBS, with the network unveiling a high-definition, digitally remastered version of the program in 2005. As with "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and "How the Grinch Stole Christmas", "Rudolph" no longer airs just once annually, but several times during the Christmas and holiday season on CBS. Unlike other holiday specials that also air on several cable channels (including Freeform), "Rudolph" only airs on CBS. It has been telecast every year since 1964, making it the longest running Christmas TV special in history. 2014 marked the 50th anniversary of the television special and a series of postage stamps featuring Rudolph was issued by the United States Postal Service on November 6, 2014.

Jean-Pierre Kusela Jean-Pierre Kusela is a fictional character invented by Spede Pasanen and played by Vesa-Matti Loiri, appearing in the Finnish sketch comedy series "Spede Show" from 1985 to 1987. The character also appeared in "Vesku Show" from 1988 to 1991. The character is a parody of typical French smooth-voiced "chanson" singers, particularly Jean-Claude Pascal, whose surname - like that of Kusela - has a connotation of toilet humour. ("Pascal" sounds like ""paska"", Finnish for "shit", and hence the name Kusela comes from ""kusi"", Finnish for "piss".)

The show was marketed for inclusion in local "kiddie show" TV programs where producers would select nationally syndicated cartoon and live action shows and combine them with in-studio material to create a locally produced variety program.
