There is no event on television quite like the Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Its a massive undertaking, and I know this because Ivebeen in the parademultiple times.
This year, however, things are, well, a bit different.
Rather than skip a year, this nearly century-old tradition has adjusted to these unprecedented times.
And thats, in part by design.
The Macys Thanksgiving Day parade isnt too big to fail, its too bignotto fail.
But most of the screwups happen on a smaller, more-human scale, in blink-and-you-missed-it moments.
Its live TV, baby, and anything can happen.
And then theres the lip-syncing.
Oh boy, the lip-syncing.
The messiest and perhaps most hilarious element of the entire ordeal.
I struggle to imagine another television event that could provide such an absurd, captivating 3 minutes of television.
Rita Orasnot the first celebrity to have trouble lip-syncing at the paradeand she isnt the last.
