DATELINE Friday pre-empted by 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas' Dec. 25, 2020

The TV special "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" will air this Friday evening at 8/7 p.m.

NBC says, " The beloved Christmas special combines the genius of Dr. Seuss (Theodor Geisel) and animator Chuck Jones in bringing Geisel's timeless book "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!" to television. The special features the voices of Boris Karloff as the Grinch and the narrator, as well as June Foray as Cindy Lou Who."

"Chuck Jones, who directed many of the most acclaimed Warner Bros. animated shorts, is producer and director of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!," which Geisel also wrote."

"The classic tale involves the schemes of the green and small-hearted Grinch to steal every material vestige of Christmas from the Whos living in the town of Whoville, but the Grinch ultimately discovers he can’t remove the spirit of Christmas from the hearts of the Whos."
