The Man Hole Christmas Song Hall of Fame Inductee #8

 
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer debuted on NBC in 1964.  Aside from the animated special bringing us such memorable moments like Yukon Cornelius, the Bumble, the Island of Misfit Toys, and of course there's Santa just being an all around dick to Rudolph, the show brought us a new Christmas classic. 
 

 
Burl Ives, a popular folk singer and actor at the time, voiced the character of Sam the Snowman.  At the end of the show he delivers our eighth Hall of Fame inductee.   The stop motion animated special by Rankin and Bass is the longest running Christmas special in TV history.
