🎄 It’s 1982, and I’m trapped at sea while Mickey Rooney butts into everyone’s conversation. 

🎙 Guy Hutchinson and William Bruce West join us as we embark on a Christmas cruise aboard the Pacific Princess for a very merry episode of “The Love Boat” featuring Maureen McCormick, Donny Osmond, and Mickey Rooney as an angel in disguise as your nosy neighbor. 

📺 You can find “The Christmas Presence” on Paramount+, Pluto TV, and Facebook.
