Reviews:
From the Luscious Jackson substack entry (10th of December, 2025):

Kate: This is one of my favorite TV performances of ours. The Tonight Show invited us to perform ‘Let it Snow’ for one of their tapings during the holiday season. The only problem was that our recording of the song was only 1 minute and 36 seconds long, and TV performances need to be around 3 minutes. We had to figure out a way to extend the song, so we hunkered down in a rehearsal studio and, after a few hours of fucking around, we stumbled on ‘Here in my sled…’ (which was a tribute to Gary Numan’s ‘Cars’) and made the song the required length. The Tonight Show’s set was decorated as an even more elaborate winter wonderland with flocked trees, fake snow, and yes, more DANCING SNOW MEN!
They must have found the place Lance rented the snowman suits from and got two agile PAs to dance for us. I remember the snowmen taking off their heads after the performance, and they were dripping with sweat. I wish I knew the names of these guys— they did a great job.
