AD BREAK 2

As the holiday season draws nearer, TMI's Misfits of Minutiae delve into the tale of Santa's favorite genetic mutant. In addition to learning all about the song and the production of the beloved 1964 Rankin/Bass TV special, they also explore Rudolph's truly tragic backstory, which is SO much sadder than all the other reindeer laughing and calling him names. You'll learn all about the controversy surrounding his red nose — and the gross reason why it would occur in real life — as well as the insane lengths producers went to get their puppets accurate, and the ridiculous amounts fans have paid for the surviving figurines. And, at long last, Jordan and Heigl will clear up the most enduring mystery involving The Island of Misfit Toys.
