Growing up in New Orleans may have deprived Harry Connick Jr. of more than holiday snowfalls. Connick kept flubbing "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" because he didn't know the reindeer names during a taping of his first network TV special, scheduled to air Dec. 24 on CBS. Connick made it harder by doing without cue cards or his glasses. The singer-songwriter also forgot a verse of "Sleigh Ride" and had a stagehand fetch the lyrics to "Away in a Manger" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas."
