As much as I love Kelsey Grammer, and oh boy do I ever...Jesse completely steals this movie. His GOCP is the best ghost in ANY iteration of A Christmas Carol.
It honestly took a while for me to figure out that this was Jesse Martin. I'm so used to him being in Law and Order that this threw me for a loop. He's freaking amazing as the Ghost of Christmas Present.
You know I couldn't believe this was Jesse at first...he singing voice is much more I ghuess I'd say operatic and slightly higher and he uses more vibrato then in RENT...He's brilliant!
this is my favorite christmas movie ever! i wish people had more of it online, i really wanted to watch the "you mean more to me" number today. but what's. thanks for putting this online!
I gotta say, having grown up seeing this musical every year at MSG, this film really doesn't do it any justice. They really need to bring it back to the stage.
I saw this for the first time last night, and my mom and I BOTH totally thought that was Tim Curry. I was blown away when I found out it was Jesse Martin. I knew he was talented, but I had no clue how incredible he was.
@spirit7462 Albert Finney? Superior? Wow....I guess there's all types in the world, including delusional ones.... But anyway, after seeing this movie last year, I can't see anyone else as the Ghost of Christmas Present. Jesse rules.
GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT You call this Christmas dinner? This measly pot of gruel?! You aren’t just a sinner, You’re an outright fool! Why, the present’s full of pleasures! Things to see, enjoy, and taste! And at Christmas no one measures His wallet or his waist! So I’ve done you just a teeny tiny favor! Oh, don’t thank me. It’s perfectly free. Just a new experience to savor … Some laughter, some magic … on me! (Scrooge finds himself in the Gaiety Music Hall, sitting in the audience, surrounded by children. The Ghost makes a sweeping entrance through the velvet curtain onstage.) Abundance! Charity! Good will toward men! Enjoyment! Hilarity! Good will toward men! Come share some, Spare some, No matter when, Ben! Get with the spirit ‘Cause you’re gonna hear it again! Abundance! Charity! And sheer delight! Enjoyment! Hilarity! They’re yours tonight! I’m here, sir, dear sir, To set you quite right! Never a doubt That your heart is about To take flight! There’s a joyful spirit In your heart! My friend, that spirit’s mine! Dine on the Bread of human kindness, My fabulous fruit of the fine! A treat, sir! A sweet, sir! A little indulgence and then, Abundance! Charity! Good will toward men! Abundance! Charity! PANTO GIRLS So much in store! GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT Old friends and familiarity! PANTO GIRLS Good times galore! GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT A twirl, sir, some girls, sir! To make ‘em roar for! GIRLS Aahh… aahh… GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT, GIRLS Get with the spirit ‘Cause you’re gonna hear it Some More! GIRLS …aahh……… GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT Fill your plate, Come on and celebrate A very, merry time. All the joys you never dared To make the most of- GIRLS He’s the Ghost of! GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT Listen, brother, Mother Goose Is playing at the Pantomime! Any little pleasure, Brother, you can pick it! Life’s a ball, And I’m your ticket! (Scrooge is forced to dance with the pretty Panto Girls.) GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT, GIRLS Abundance! Charity! Good will towards men … From pauper to “millionarity”! Good will toward men! Come spend some, Lend some, You’ll get the yen, Ben! GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT Get with the spirit ‘Cause you’re gonna hear it again! GIRLS Aahh… Aahh… SOME GIRLS Aahh… Aahh… OTHER GIRLS Aahh… ALL GIRLS Get with the spirit… GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT, GIRLS Get with the spirit ‘Cause you’re gonna hear it… GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT Again… SOME GIRLS …And a-gain OTHER GIRLS …And again! GIRLS Abundance! GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT “…Abundance!” GIRLS Charity! GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT “…Charity!” GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT, GIRLS Good will toward men! Aahh…
@kjkmsw1 I have two more (both from Ally McBeal) but UA-cam keeps taking them down. I'll upload them in the next couple of days because they're really great. I also have a him singing on a Broadway soundtrack, but no videos, just audio. I'll get those up in a bit :)
the ghost of christmas present is the best ghost in any version of a christmas carol!

Love that Jesse L. Martin came from the original Broadway show of RENT. Most of them have gone very far
this is my favorite christmas movie ever! i wish people had more of it online, i really wanted to watch the "you mean more to me" number today. but what's. thanks for putting this online!
It's Kelsey Grammer! The man who voiced Sideshow Bob!
Yep. I'm listening to this in July.
Queen Horror I watched the movie last night
I love how Jesse's accent is so different here compared to his real voice. He's so amazing!! Thank you so much for posting!
Yesss! I love Kelsey and Jesse. This is one of my fav songs in the whole movie!
Joe West got some PIPES! #FlashSquad

I was waiting for him to say "MERRY CHRISTMAS BITCHES!"

My favorite
jesse i love this wonderful perfomance this is best
Such a versatile man. I'm in love.
6:41 AWWW, how sweet! I think the Ghost of Christmas Present is already starting to help Scrooge understand the joys of the holidays!
I think this is my favorite scene ^^
Merry Christmas bitches!
LOL
Yes, there was :) I know it's on iTunes since I bought it there, but I think you can buy an actual CD from Amazon or elsewhere.
Jesse's so awesome!!! i love him in RENT!!! one of my favs!
Love me some Jesse L. Martin!
@jean181 If I get it I will upload it! I only have this song since Jesse L. Martin is in it. haha. But if I find Link By Link I'll post it for you :)
Thanks for the video!! Jesse L martin is the main man!!!
It's detective Joe West
I love Jesse L martin
No problem! Glad you enjoy it =D
THanks for uploading i love this song.
yeah, that one was great!
@spirit7462 This was most definitely 2004. Albert Finney starred in "Scrooge" with a very different cast and over 30 years earlier.
Do you have anymore videos with Jesse singing?? I can't get enough of HIM!!!
Mr. Present, that's not my dinner, I was just eating that because I have a bit of a cold in my head! - What I would have explained if I were Scrooge
Lamont 🥰
Jesse sei stupendo!
Bellissimo!
So love this!!!!
I'm in this show right now as a toy soldier and this song is so fun
@kjkmsw1 I just tried uploading one from Ally McBeal, but Fox has completely blocked it :( I'll see if I can post it elsewhere for you....
@spirit7462 Albert Finney? Superior? Wow....I guess there's all types in the world, including delusional ones....

@spirit7462 this one was made in 2004 so this is kelsey grammer, i dont know where ur mind is right now but it certainly not in the now lol.
No problem :) I'm trying to remember where I found this and I can't remember. If I find that song, I'll be sure to post it for you =)
