I'm Adam Kade,
and coming up tonight on KCYD,
with the holiday season in full swing,
we'll take you inside local toy stores
struggling to keep shelves stocked
as supply chain issues
continue to disrupt.
As supply chain issues
continue to disrupt.
Mom, what are supply chain issues?
It's when kids are late for school.
Mm.
Okay, come on! Let's go!
Maybe tomorrow
you can wear
the sweater Grandma made you?
News anchors wear suits
and do interviews!
How does it feel
to be made of millions
of unique snowflakes?
With that nose,
does everything smell like carrots?
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
You heard it here first, folks!
Robbie Sullivan reporting
from the front yard.
Robbie Sullivan needs
to be reporting to school!
Come on. Get a move on, mister.
And as Minneapolis rolls out plans
for additional bike lanes,
some residents are asking
Santa for a different gift,
maintenance on the existing paths.
And tonight,
we will investigate a danger
lurking in
a common Christmas decoration.
Do you know
what's hiding in your holly?
Find out with me, Adam Ka...
Ahh! That's better.
Who wants to watch the news, anyway?
I know. Tell me about it.
All that negativity, right?
Like we don't have enough
to worry about in the world.
Well, I have a front-row seat
to that Adam Kade at home
because Robbie
wants to be a news reporter
when he grows up.
I mean, that is so cute!
Well, what he's hearing him
talk about isn't,
and I don't want him to start
seeing the world that way.
Okay, then why let him
listen to it at all, then?
I...
I want him to follow
what excites him, but...
You know, maybe
maybe he'll grow out
of this whole news anchor thing.
I don't know.
His class has a field trip
at the KCYD newsroom today...
- Mm-hmm.
- And he's the one
who suggested it to the teacher!
That boy.
Okay, what are we doing?
I'm taking a poll.
What kind of milk
do you leave out for Santa?
Whole, skim, or almond?
Ms. Somerville,
inquiring minds want to know,
what are your plans
for Christmas break?
Sleeping in!
You heard it here first.
Now, I know
you're excited, Robbie,
but we don't want to be late, do we?
Let's go, kids!
- All right...
- Hmm.
Smooth as
a crystal Christmas ornament.
You are an artist, Mindy.
Oh, only as good as my canvas.
Stop!
Oh, there he is!
How many cups is that
for you today, Todd?
Three.
- Three?
- Yeah, one for every point
we dropped in last night's ratings.
Hey, we'll bounce back.
We just need bigger stories
that grab people's attention.
Yeah, figure that's it.
The fifth grade class
from Elk River Elementary
are here.
- Ah.
- Oh.
Say, Adam...
Yes?
Why don't you talk to the class with me?
You know, help educate
the next generation?
I educate from behind the desk.
Aw, just interview 'em
with some softball questions,
like who's Santa's best reindeer?
Dasher, obviously.
Who picks Dasher over Rudolph?
He's the leader of the pack
alert, calm, confident... come on.
Adam has a promo recording in five, so...
Yeah. See?
Thank you, Jaclyn.
Can't talk to the kids anyway.
Fine, you Grinch.
Mm. Love you too.
Break out the hand sanitizer,
the kids are here!
Welcome to KCYD!
We're so happy
you're visiting us here today.
- What do we say, class?
- Thanks.
Thank you very much!
Yeah.
Uh, so, our station began broadcasting
all the way back in 1949,
and every day is different.
Hey, that's what makes it fun!
It's Adam Kade!
- What?
- Who's Adam Kade?
The news anchor.
That's right, yeah,
Adam's been with the station
for seven years now.
You know, lots of people think
that anchors just read words
off a teleprompter,
but that couldn't be further
from the truth.
In fact, can anyone here
tell me what else
they have to be good at?
Yeah?
They have to read fast,
know current events,
and be good at improvising
during live broadcasts.
Wow. Someone's been studying!
And you're all in luck,
because Adam's about to record
a promo for a tonight's show.
Mm.
Ahem.
You know, why don't we go watch
from the control room?
You know, who knows, maybe one day,
one of you'll be, uh,
sitting in the anchor's chair.
Tonight,
we'll look into how one neighborhood
is using technology
to stave off Christmas porch pirates.
And speaking of technology,
a city comptroller
finds himself in hot water
after a series of holiday
social media posts
have...
Do you always wear so much makeup?
It's for the bright lights and HD cameras.
I'm sorry. Who are you?
I'm Robbie Sullivan.
Robbie Sullivan.
I think you might have gotten
lost from your field trip.
These chairs aren't very comfy.
Is that why you never smile?
Where is his teacher?
I'm so sorry. I-I'll go get Robbie.
No, no, no, no, no.
Let him, uh... let him stay.
Okay, listen, kid...
Robbie Sullivan.
"Robbie Sullivan."
It is not an anchor's job to smile.
It's to deliver facts
to keep the viewers informed.
Is it also your job
to make people feel bad about the world?
What?
That's what my mom says,
that watching you makes her
feel bad about the world.
- I...
- She turns off the TV
whenever you come on.
Even at her salon,
they change the channel.
Really? Um...
Why don't you report
on happier things?
Ooh, ooh!
Now, can you ask me a question?
Like you're interviewing me?
Yeah, um
who's Santa's best reindeer?
Hey, Skylar.
First moment of down time all day.
Well, everyone wants to turn heads
during the holiday parties.
Any lunch plans?
Jack's taking me to lunch. Third date.
Ooh! Sounds promising.
You should try it sometime.
What, dates?
Tried that after Cal and I got divorced.
No, thanks.
Okay, the chair.
You can't be serious.
It gets clients to open up.
Let it work its magic for you.
Come on.
What is so wrong with
going on a date here and there?
I don't have the time.
My days are a treadmill. I can't step off.
My work, running errands,
making dinner...
If I get a moment to myself
before midnight, I...
I mean, it's a miracle.
And on top of that,
I have to make sure
Christmas is magical for Robbie.
You're like Supermom.
How can I make room for someone else
when I don't even have
enough energy for myself
at the end of the day.
By trusting someone enough
to help you with all that.
I trusted Cal
when he promised me the moon,
and at the end of the day,
he didn't deliver.
You're telling me
you wouldn't change your tune
if someone new showed up,
maybe someone right?
No time for love-life advice.
I am off to pick up supplies
to make popcorn garlands
with Robbie later.
I can pick up
the garland supplies for you.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I will...
- I will make it work.
- You sure?
Yes, yes. I got it.
Okay.
Rough interview today?
Uh... no.
Um.
Some smart-aleck kid told me
I make his mom
feel badly about the world.
His mom,
and apparently everyone at her work,
turns off the news when I come on.
Facts are cold and hard, Adam.
That is not new.
So what's got you so rattled?
I'm not really sure.
How did you deal
with people tuning you out
when you were on the desk?
Well, that was a different time, then.
I mean, viewers weren't as distracted,
and by the time
things did start to change,
I'd already moved into teaching.
But don't people want to be informed?
Huh.
I feel like I'm your professor again,
fielding your questions in a lecture hall,
but listen,
I did not bring you here
to reminisce about the past.
I want to talk about your future.
So, word on the street
is Paul Rada is retiring.
From WQM Chicago?
He's a legend!
A legend who's about to create
a job opening in a top-10 market.
Top three!
I think you have it in you.
National stories, in-depth reporting
this is the brass ring
I've always dreamed about.
- Mm-hmm.
- You know,
I met the head of the station
at an event last year.
- Nathan Selig.
- Yes.
I'm gonna do my best
to try and reconnect you.
Now, they're gonna be looking
for someone who is not
just a strong anchor.
They also want somebody
who is going to reflect well on the city.
Well, I can't think of anyone
with a better reflection.
Oh... please. Easy there, Ted Baxter.
Honestly.
I'm just saying.
It was so cool!
We got to see the set,
and I even sat in the anchor chair
and talked to Adam Kade.
What did you tell him?
That you turn off the news when he's on.
Well, if he saw the world the way you do,
I'd keep it on.
You'd be the best news anchor in TV.
You think so?
I could really be a news anchor one day?
I do.
You can teach
Adam Kade a thing or two.
Sometimes
you just have to believe
it'll all come through in the end,
even if we don't know exactly how.
It's called "having faith."
Yes. All right.
How about we finish up these garlands?
Okay.
Oh!
New hobby?
Um... no.
That-that kid from the field trip
must have left it behind.
"If found, please return
to Robbie Sullivan,
10 Joslin Street.
Reward offered."
The kid with a suit.
Look, why don't you take him
under your wing?
You know, like as a holiday intern?
What? Why?
Because that's how I got started.
Then why don't you take him on
as your intern?
Nah, you see, he wants to be an anchor.
Come on, you can make
his dreams come true.
Where's your Christmas heart?
Have I ever told you
that Christmas is my
least favorite holiday?
Uh, yeah, every time you offer to work
- during said holiday.
- Yeah.
And don't forget, you owe me.
I scored you tickets to the Eras Tour.
Firstly, that was a major news event,
so it was in
my professional interest to go,
and secondly, I took your twins.
I could barely hear Taylor
over their screaming.
Yeah, well, count yourself lucky.
Why?
They just started violin lessons.
Ooh.
Hey, look, just-just
you know, like, show Robbie the ropes
for a few hours after school this week
a little more mensch, less Grinch.
- Fine.
- Great.
You can deliver the news in person.
In person?
I'm guessing you don't have
a prior social engagement,
unless you've decided to change
your entire personality.
Mm.
'Tis the season, Adam!
And, hey, I mean, there's a reward.
- Come on.
- Good man.
- Oh, hi!
- Hi.
Adam Kade?
Why are you...
I'm here to collect the reward.
You must be Robbie's mom.
Is your very enthusiastic son home?
I think he might be looking for this.
Adam Kade is at my house?
Adam Kade is at my house!
Your very, very enthusiastic son.
Yes, he is,
and, uh, yes, I am Lucy, Robbie's mom.
Very nice to meet you,
Lucy, Robbie's mom.
Um, thank you so much for this.
I'm actually also here to see if Robbie
wants to follow me around
at work for a week.
What?!
What?
The station wants
to offer Robbie a chance
to see how the newsroom works,
just a few hours after school,
for a week.
Oh, that's-that's very generous...
But, um, I need to think about it.
Your son wants to be a news anchor.
We're offering him
a peek behind the curtain.
Why the hesitation?
Can you excuse me for a second?
Uh... if you must know,
it is a curtain
that I am unsure
I want him looking behind.
Is this because watching my reports
make you feel bad about the world?
He told you that?
Oh! I'm sorry.
The holidays are a time crunch,
and, you know, I have a lot on my plate.
You're right. This probably
wouldn't have worked out anyway.
All right, well,
it was nice to meet you, Lucy.
You have a nice Christmas.
- You too.
- All right. Thank you.
Wait! Mom, I want to do it!
Robbie,
I already have so many holiday
activities planned for us.
Yeah, buddy. Maybe it's for the best.
You asked me
what I wanted for Christmas.
Okay.
It's beginning to look a lot
like Christmas with Adam Kade!
Uh, this won't be all fun and games.
You're there to learn.
So are you.
Excuse me?
My mom said I could
teach you a thing or two
about being a news anchor.
- Robbie!
- Oh, she did, did she?
She might have,
but we-we don't have
to tell Adam everything I say.
Why? What else did she say?
- She also thinks that...
- Okay!
Say "thank you" to Adam!
It's time to go.
But what else did she say?
She said, "Merry Christmas, Mr. Kade."
Hello!
Hi.
I'm Robbie Sullivan, anchor in training.
Cool Christmas sweater.
Are you always so chipper?
I learned in school
that a smile is the universal greeting.
Try it.
You told me that I never smile, so
so... now I have a reputation to uphold.
What's in your ear?
That's my earpiece.
That's how the control room
talks to me when I'm on air.
Do they let you know
when you talk for too long?
I never talk for too long,
but if I did, which I don't,
they would tell me in my earpiece.
- Can I try?
- No.
So, this microphone here,
that connects to a talk back system
that goes to the I.F.B.,
which is the earpiece in Adam's ear.
Say something.
How about
locals are concerned after reports
of a highly unusual boy
roaming a professional newsroom?
Try it with a smile.
Remember... universal greeting.
Thank you.
He's right, you know.
Remind me what time
your mom's picking you up?
She's here now.
- Mom...
- Hi.
It's too early to pick me up.
I'm just here to watch
part of your first day.
Say, Adam... how do you feel
about giving up the chair for a minute?
No.
No way!
Okay, boss man, focus up.
In three
two
one
action.
I...
I don't know what to say.
"In weather." In weather.
In weather
it will be cold.
Yeah, very cold!
Okay.
Uh, nice one.
Now, "in government."
In government, things are really boring.
You're a natural.
Give us the business report.
In business,
Christmas tree sales are up this year,
which is a clear sign
a lot of people
are buying Christmas trees
for Christmas.
Great job. Now take us home.
And that's the news from KCYD Studios.
This has been Robbie Sullivan reporting.
Have a Merry Christmas and good night.
And... we are out!
Whoo!
Now where do we go next?
Oh, boy.
Another cookie, or...?
Nah, I'm okay.
You drink coffee?
Not yet.
"Not yet." Right, got it. Um...
Hey!
Oh, did you enjoy your first day, sweetie?
It was amazing!
And how was your first day?
Um... it was
eventful.
Oh? I'll venture to guess
you don't have kids?
Nope. But I'm starting to see
why people say it takes a village.
You're looking at the village.
- Ah.
- Come on.
- All right!
- See you tomorrow.
- See you tomorrow.
- See you tomorrow, Adam,
and the day after that,
and the day after that,
and the day after that.
Great!
Great.
Great.
And that's the news from KCYD Studios.
This has been Adam Kade
and Robbie Sullivan reporting.
Have a Merry Christmas
and good night!
Great job, Robbie.
- You really are a natural.
- Thanks.
- Can I?
- Yeah, yeah.
How's my favorite student?
Hoping you have
some good news for me.
Oh, you're in luck.
I just spoke with Nathan Selig,
the GM in Chicago,
and he's expecting your call.
Thanks for this.
All my years of dreaming of a job like this
might finally come true.
I'm ready for it.
You sound less rattled.
That means the kid must have
gotten out of your head?
Actually,
uh, he's my intern now.
Long story,
but all he wants is to report
on sunshine and rainbows.
All right, well, you know,
we could all use a
little levity these days.
How long is he at the station?
Tomorrow's his last day.
Ooh, you must be relieved.
Uh.
He was just starting to grow on me.
Who are you, and where is Adam Kade?
Right.
I just texted you Nathan's contact...
Great.
But I want you
to call him as soon as you can,
because everybody in America
is going to want this job
as soon as the word gets out.
Thanks for this, Jill.
Aw. You earned it. Good luck.
Bye.
This is Nathan. Leave a message.
Nathan, hi.
This is Adam Kade
with KCYD Minneapolis.
A turtle dove told me
you have a job opening.
I would love to throw my hat in the ring.
Give me a call when you get a chance.
I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Thanks.
Hey, Adam!
What are we doing today?
My mom said I have to be done
by 5:00 p.m. sharp.
Okay, well...
Today, I'll show you the assignment desk,
and then we've got a meeting
to discuss the rundown,
where we pick the stories
for that night's broadcast.
Sweet!
Speaking of sweet...
Since it's your last day
let's make it a sweet one.
This is amazing!
So, that was your
first editorial meeting.
What'd you think about the rundown?
None of those stories were very happy.
Happy?
Unemployment, bad roads
budget problems at City Hall?
Those are important stories,
and important stories
aren't always happy ones.
But can't happy stories be important too?
Well...
Like the charity my mom and I
are volunteering at tomorrow.
It's called Angel Gifts.
They buy presents for kids in need.
Okay, well, that sounds very nice,
but I reported on the story last week.
But you didn't even mention
the people who started it
were the volunteers.
That's called
a human-interest story,
and those are small.
What's wrong with small?
Um...
Hey! There you are.
We've gotta go. Where's your backpack?
I'll go get it.
Um
Didn't he tell you
he had to be done by 5:00?
Earth to Adam?
Oh, I'm sorry.
Um, a staff meeting ran long.
I needed that time to get home,
make dinner, get him to bed.
Right. Sorry.
Okay, Robbie,
time to say goodbye.
It doesn't have to be "goodbye"
for real, does it?
Um, why don't you stay for a taping?
Robbie can do his homework in my office
until the show starts,
and we could all have dinner
to celebrate what a week it's been.
Can we, Mom? Please?
It was my fault
that the meeting ran late,
and this way, you don't have
to scramble to make dinner.
I will take you to the best place in town.
Beautiful views of the city,
and I promise, Robbie will love it.
Besides, you have never
actually seen a taping yet.
I think you might like it.
Yeah, Mom, you might even like it.
Yeah, Mom!
You might even like it.
As temperatures drop,
city officials grow more concerned
about providing warm clothing
and food security
for the city's underprivileged.
Mayor Timothy Finnegan
has appealed to city leaders
to secure additional funding.
Mom, wasn't the taping awesome?
It is amazing how many people it takes
to bring the news to life.
So does that mean
you'll be watching my face
on a TV screen every night?
I don't know about that.
Ouch!
But seriously,
I mean, after a whole week
of seeing behind the scenes,
what would it take
to get you to watch the news?
Well, for starters
maybe wear something more exciting,
like adding more color to your wardrobe?
Change my signature look?
Never.
- Well, in all honesty...
- Okay?
At the end of the day,
there's just not much time
to watch the news,
and if there is
why would I want to be reminded
of everything wrong in the world?
That's not all the news is.
Mm, sure feels like it.
Mom, I left my backpack
in the control room.
Can I go get it?
Yes, but be careful
around that equipment, okay?
Mom... I'm a professional.
He is intrepid, I give him that.
You know you're the only anchor
he watches, right?
Really?
Guess there's
a lot of things you don't know
until you ask.
People are more than just what they do,
what is "newsworthy."
Sometimes people just want facts.
Yeah, but... facts without heart?
That's not gonna get me to tune in.
What would... get you to tune in?
Okay.
Stories where...
I don't just... learn what happened.
I feel why it matters.
Elaborate.
Well, when I talk
to the people at the salon,
I feel their
their joys, their hopes,
and struggles,
and that makes me feel connected.
That.
That's what I want from the news.
And you know you can do that.
You-you-you have the ability
to find people's stories
and share them with the world.
Okay. We'll see.
All right, all right.
Todd?
Yeah, I'll call you back.
Yeah?
What do you think about my suits?
I mean, do you think
they lack personality?
- Personality?
- Mm-hmm.
Gray is the color of facts, you know?
Your suits suit you just fine.
Just focus on delivering the news, okay?
Yeah. Oh!
Sorry.
Do you think I should smile more?
You smile enough for the both of us.
I do, don't I?
Yeah, you do! And don't forget
that this is a serious business.
It's a serious job.
You're doing everything right.
But what if there's more to the job
than doing everything right?
There's not.
- You're perfect.
- I am.
- Yeah. Okay.
- Yeah.
Yeah. Perfect.
I think we got it all.
Baseball glove for Danny,
ballet slippers for Rachel,
art supplies for Lina.
They're gonna be so happy
when they open their presents
on Christmas morning!
Can I get a new Adam Kade suit
for Christmas?
Can you just want a football,
or a video game, or all the video games?
Mom, I'm pretty much a news anchor,
and I need the right outfit.
Clothes make the man!
Do you really need another gray suit?
Because if we're buying clothes,
we should be getting you an outfit
for the Christmas concert
that's coming up fast.
Oh! And what's the-the song
your class is singing?
Ugh. I don't want to do a song.
Maybe I could be a news anchor
and even get help from...
Adam Kade!
Robbie Sullivan here, reporting live
with the impressively dressed
Adam Kade.
What are you doing here?
Reporting live! I just said that.
Mr. Kade, sources say
you're the perfect guy
to help a kid
be a news anchor for
his school Christmas concert.
Do you care to comment, sir?
Um... I don't know.
It's a pretty busy time right now.
Please?
I've been practicing my sign-offs,
just like you taught me.
And it looks like
you might even have the outfit.
I'd be happy to.
We'll make you practically professional.
Ooh!
What are you doing tonight?
Want to come to Angel Gifts?
We're going to help a ton of people.
Thank you,
but I have some work-related things
I have to think about.
Well, if you change your mind,
it really is a wonderful event.
It's the perfect place
to see the good in the world.
You might even like it.
Yeah, Adam! You might even like it!
When you put it that way...
I gotta watch you two.
Okay, here we go.
My mom always
has to give things 110%.
Well, since she had to work late,
it's up to you to keep me in line.
Just pretend you're an elf
at Santa's workshop.
It's been a long time
since I wrapped a Christmas present.
You don't wrap your presents?
No need to wrap a gift card.
- Gift card?
- Mm-hmm.
Don't you want to make
your presents special?
What's more special
than letting the recipient
pick the present they want
with a gift card?
The parents are here!
Ah, thank you.
Okay. Here we go.
Hi.
Hi.
I'm picking up for my daughter,
Rachel Smith.
Rachel Smith.
Okay, Ra... Rachel Smith.
Ah. Okay... Rachel Smith.
Um, ballet slippers, right?
My mom used to tell her stories
of dancing ballet
when she was a little girl.
Rachel's been dreaming
of learning ballet ever since.
Here you are.
You don't know how much this means.
It's a
a wonderful thing you're doing here.
I just wrapped a few presents.
No, no.
You've done more than you know.
Thank you.
Merry Christmas!
So much better than a gift card.
Hey!
Hey, Mom!
Hey. Oh...
Did you have a good time?
I'm so sad I missed it.
It was the best.
Thank you both for inviting me.
I'm really happy I came.
Hey, who started Angel Gifts?
You should meet...
Excuse me. You're Susie, right?
I'm Adam.
I hear you founded Angel Gifts.
Yes. But I had a little guidance
and encouragement along the way.
After I got the idea, I went to Thrivent,
and they helped me
figure out my finances
so that I could make it a reality,
and now it's thanks to volunteers like you
that it continues.
About that,
I'm with KCYD News,
and I was wondering,
would you be willing to let me profile you
and your story?
Oh, I'd be happy to.
It's really the volunteers
who give our community hope
and the spirit of generosity
when it matters most.
I can't thank you enough
for allowing me the chance to see
what Angel Gifts is really all about.
Yeah, yeah, it's a sweet story,
but it's soft,
and soft doesn't keep people engaged.
But maybe a story like this
could draw in new viewers.
Or lose us the ones we have.
Please. Just stick to the script, okay?
Maybe your wardrobe update
can carry it,
but you need a better tie.
A better tie?
I just got this tie!
What's wrong with my tie?
Oh, great timing.
I was just about to call you.
You go first.
Listen, did you ever push back
on a producer's wishes
to include a story?
If I cared deeply about it, yes.
- Okay.
- I did.
And how did it go?
Well, sometimes they'd run it,
most of the time, they didn't,
but hey, you win some, you lose some.
Well, in this case,
I think I might be losing.
If you're gonna fight for a story,
and really fight for it,
then you have to know why it matters,
and not just to your audience,
but to you as well.
So tell me, why is this one worth it?
I don't know exactly.
I just have a feeling that it is.
I, uh, I spoke with Nathan.
You've been shortlisted
for the Chicago desk.
This is a big moment.
I mean, you-you are so good
at what you do,
and Chicago has taken notice.
Yeah,
but how do I become great at what I do?
Well, you have to have focus,
which you have, and you
you have to work hard, which you do,
and a whole lot of faith.
Right.
Okay, thanks. Talk soon.
Oh
Feels like just yesterday,
you were that big.
It's a good thing
I've grown up since then.
Too fast, if you ask me.
I'm 10. I'm pretty much an adult.
Can I go do the gingerbread houses
with the elves after?
Building houses
is a very adult thing to do.
Yes, you can, and you know what?
I'm gonna get
some shopping done quickly,
but the most important question is
do you remember your Christmas wish?
Definitely!
Adam?
Mom, that wasn't even my wish!
Hey, you two.
Well... this is a merry coincidence.
Maybe the holiday spirit
just pointed me in the right direction.
It has a way of working its magic.
What are you doing here?
Well... someone pretty smart
told me I need to up my style game.
Is Angel Gifts
gonna be on the show tonight?
Unfortunately, no.
Todd nixed it.
Oh.
Are you ready
to meet Santa Claus
and tell him your wish?
Okay.
All right. I'll see you in 15.
I just wanted to say thank you
for what you've done for Robbie.
He's a great kid,
even if he's got
a million questions a minute.
And you take the time to listen
and answer them.
Not everyone does.
That means a lot.
Must be my journalism background.
You going up?
Yeah.
After you.
It was so wonderful
watching you interview Susie yesterday.
You weren't treating it
like it was just a headline.
Thanks.
It's just a shame the world
won't get to see it.
Well, maybe they can still see you.
There's more to the man behind the desk
than meets the eye.
I'm not sure
I'm ready to make that kind of leap.
Well, every leap
starts with a little faith.
Just show them more of what I see.
Next up, the rolling blackouts
on Delaney Street.
15 seconds till we're back.
The lights too hot? You're sweating.
I'm fine.
Thank you.
And we're back in five
four
three... two
one.
Welcome back.
The rolling blackouts on Delaney Street
put a damper
on what's usually a bright spot.
Did we lose...
Keep reading, Adam.
But
there is one bright spot,
Angel Gifts,
a charity that's making
some local families'
Christmas wishes come true.
Stick to the script, Adam.
I've covered holiday charities
before, but tonight...
Adam
I want to introduce you
to some volunteers
that are making a difference
in our very own community.
Okay, what is he doing?
Hey! What are you doing?
Susie
along with the sponsors at Thrivent,
you have helped thousands of families
through Angel Gifts.
How did it all start?
With one child.
Mom! My wish to Santa came true!
A couple of Christmases ago,
I was at the post office,
and I saw a little girl
mailing a letter to Santa.
She wasn't asking for toys.
She was asking for a backpack
because her old one had ripped apart,
and her parents
couldn't afford a new one,
but I couldn't get it out of my mind.
The next day, I went to the post office
and asked if there were
more letters like hers.
There were hundreds.
And what did
it make you realize?
That I could be somebody
who does something,
who puts good into the world.
It's easy to think
kindness is someone else's
responsibility.
Until you realize you're that somebody.
It seems to me
that the real gift
you're giving for Christmas
is hope, Susie.
It's really the volunteers
who give our community hope
and the spirit of generosity
when it matters most.
I can't thank you enough
for allowing me the chance to see
what Angel Gifts is really all about.
Hope is something
we could all use right now,
but it's not just a word.
Thanks to Susie and her volunteers,
hope is something
you can hold in your hands
on Christmas morning.
I'm Adam Kade with KCYD News,
and tonight,
thank you for letting me tell
a different kind of story.
And... we're out.
What just happened?
Huh?
Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
I thought we agreed
not to do the charity story.
It was one segment out of the hour.
You don't understand.
I'm trying to keep this whole place afloat.
Well, sure, you're the producer, so...
No, Adam!
Our parent company wants to make cuts
across the board.
They do?
Yeah, and I've been desperately trying
not to give them reasons to,
especially around the holidays.
That's why I've been so worried
that a change in direction
could hurt us.
Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
You're saying and thinking
that a story like this
can make the people tune out?
We can't take that chance.
You know...
I can't remember the last time
you called in vacation days.
Vacation?
Yeah, you know, now seems
like the perfect time.
- Todd...
- We can have Kim sub in.
But listen...
I'm-I'm sorry,
but why don't you take
some holiday R&R?
It'll be good for you.
Yeah.
Todd...
Todd!
Cookies for breakfast?
Nice try.
Cookies for later.
I was feeling inspired.
By what?
Adam's news story?
Can we bring cookies to Adam
to thank him for his story?
I am sure he's busy.
Let's call him!
Robbie! Robbie, wait! Wait!
Ahem.
Well, hello.
Adam! It's me, Robbie Sullivan.
Hello, Robbie Sullivan.
Are you too busy for gingerbread men?
You don't appear to be at school.
I'm on vacation,
and we want to bring you
gingerbread men.
Are you... at work?
Actually... I'm on vacation too.
Is that your house?
Where are your Christmas decorations?
I...
am not in a Christmas mood,
actually, so...
Mom, this is an emergency!
A man has lost his Christmas spirit!
Oh...
Robbie... you might be right.
Everything about
what you got going on there
needs a little Christmas spirit.
Maybe.
Ooh! Adam, if you're not
decorating your house today,
we need your help decorating!
Mom will text you the address.
Uh... okay.
See you there.
Mom, Adam's going to help.
You know I'll always
be here for you, right?
You're my number one.
You know I'll always be here
for you too, right?
You're my number one.
Oh...
Where do the magical
Christmas clouds go?
Um...
Excuse me.
Hey.
- Hey.
- All right, here you go.
Thank you.
Oh, pardon me, uh, Mr. Kade?
Please, just Adam.
- Adam.
- Yes?
That piece you did on Angel Gifts
was just wonderful.
It... it didn't even feel like the news.
Thank you for sharing it
and reminding everybody
that there's good in the world,
especially this time of year.
Thank you.
That... means more than you know.
Hey.
No one's ever come up to me
like that before,
or at least not to say something so kind.
She's right.
You've made quite the impression,
and not just on her.
Uh... I mean, on Robbie.
- Right, Robbie.
- You've made
quite the impression on him,
and I have to admit,
usually I'm really good
at reading people in my line of work,
but you impressed me.
Oh, thank you.
Ms. Somerville,
instead of singing carols
at the Christmas concert,
can I be a news anchor
and tell a Christmas story?
Oh, well, the show's coming up.
It's not a lot of time to change things.
Yeah, but guess who's helping me?
I don't know, Robbie.
Santa Claus?
No! Adam Kade.
Oh, a close second to Santa!
Adam... tell her!
Um, I'd be happy to participate,
if it doesn't get in the way.
It won't get in the way.
The world must be informed.
Well, I suppose you two
better do it, then.
You know, I forgot how much fun
it was to decorate.
I mean, I haven't decorated like this
since I was a kid.
What?
What?
What?
Here you go.
Thank you.
Ooh.
You know,
I haven't done Christmas like this
for a long time.
I didn't know how much I missed it.
Does your family live nearby?
My parents are a couple hours
from here.
Oh. That's great.
Mine are in Florida.
Traded snow for sand.
It must be nice to have family close.
Honestly... I don't see them that much.
When I started at the station,
I took every shift that was thrown at me.
You know, breaking news
didn't wait for family dinners.
Even at Christmas?
I worked the Christmas shift.
Believe it or not
this was my favorite holiday growing up.
We always had a big party.
All my family would pack into the house
too many suitcases, not enough beds,
but it just felt like
where everyone was supposed to be.
It's never too late
to find your way back
to the things that matter.
Maybe I'm already finding my way.
Oh!
Not just a lump of coal in there.
Don't tell anyone.
Your secret's safe with me.
Oh...
Okay!
Thank you for today.
For,
for everything.
Oh... it was nothing.
It was something to me.
Oh!
We missed one!
Did we? Okay.
Come on.
Okay, I'm coming,
I'm coming, I'm coming.
There.
Okay... all right.
And now
the best part.
Now it feels like Christmas.
Mm...
Ahem.
Um...
I should probably go.
I understand.
Most anchors don't answer work calls
when they're on vacation.
Yeah, well
most anchors don't deliver
the most-viewed segment of the year.
What?
We've had more call-ins
than we do in a whole month.
People are feeling inspired...
Wow!
Okay, okay!
Yeah, and, uh
you were following your gut.
I should've listened.
I'm sorry.
You had every reason to be concerned.
Yeah, well, anyway, look,
here's what I'm thinking...
I think we mix up our slate
a deeper, more uplifting side
to our typical holiday coverage.
Well, I'm still on vacation, so...
Hmph! Vacation's over.
Wow.
Adam!
- Mm-hmm.
- That's exciting news.
I wanted you to be the first to hear it.
What is it?
It's nothing.
Just someone saying
they liked my report.
So what's your next story gonna be?
Um, I haven't quite figured it out yet.
But, um, there's this opportunity, I think,
- that...
- Can I get you sugar plums
anything?
The recipe for these peppermint scones.
They're delicious.
Oh, bless your heart!
It's my husband's recipe.
He's in the back,
whipping up a fresh batch.
We box up bakery care packages
and deliver them to folks
who could use a little warmth.
That's so lovely.
Well, it's our way of saying,
"You're not forgotten."
I think a lot of people
would love to hear that at Christmas.
If you've got a warm oven,
then you've got something to give.
Each time we bake,
we always make a little bit extra
so we can give it to those
who don't have as much.
How can I help?
You can start packing up
this box of cookies.
And that's what helped a couple
go from an idea
to a community icon.
There's more good in the world
than people think.
Sometimes you just have
to open your door to see it.
You used to turn that off.
Now look at you.
I'm Adam Kade, and tonight,
I hope you find your door to open.
Oh, no.
My client Cheryl asked
to push later today,
but I gotta pick Robbie up!
Maybe you could ask
a certain news anchor
you couldn't take your eyes off
to help you out.
Adam? I can't!
Why not?
Be... because!
If I ask for help this one time,
before I know it,
I'll be relying on someone.
And what's so wrong with that?
You know what happened
the last time I did that!
When it comes to my kid,
I want to be able to stand
on my own two feet.
And make sure he's taken care of,
I get it,
but you don't have to be an island
and do everything yourself.
Find your door to open.
You...
I'm sure Robbie would love
an afternoon with Adam.
Hmm.
Hello?
Hi. Hi, Adam.
So, I was wondering if...
Yes?
Um, you would be able to
pick up Robbie this afternoon?
You mean help?
Yes. Those are the words.
I wonder what it sounds like
when you say it.
Are you really making me do this?
Definitely!
Okay, fine.
Can you please... help me
this afternoon?
Never thought I'd see the day.
I'd be more than happy to entertain
the great Robbie Sullivan.
We can work on his idea
for the Christmas concert.
Thank you. Thank you.
I'll text you the details.
Okay, sounds good.
I'm proud of you.
Desperate times. That's all.
- You're making excuses, girl.
- No, I'm not.
This place is amazing!
I was tipped off to a story,
and I thought we should check it out.
Partridge in a pear tree!
Just like the 12 days of Christmas.
Mm-hmm.
Good eye, young sir.
Every December, for 12 days straight,
the park grants me permission
to fill this place with wonder.
A partridge in a pear tree,
two turtle doves,
and onward we go.
All the way to 12 drummers drumming?
The whole parade.
I'm told you decorate all these
for someone special.
I sure do.
For Rona.
For Rona? And who is Rona?
The one who got away.
Hmm.
I'm Adam Kade.
This is Robbie.
It's a pleasure to meet you both.
This is truly beautiful.
Thank you.
Rona and I met in this very spot
40 years ago, over Christmas.
I was an art school dreamer,
and she was a busker in a red peacoat.
It was love at first sight.
How did you know it was love?
Because I was the best version of myself
when I was with her.
I didn't want to leave her side.
That's a special feeling
when you find someone
that makes you feel that.
Rona was visiting town for 12 days.
We joked that it was just like the song,
the 12 Days of Christmas.
And you were each other's gift.
Couldn't have said it better,
but then there was
an emergency back home
before the 12th day,
and she had to leave
on Christmas Eve, no less.
And then we lost touch.
But you never forgot her.
Never.
So every winter,
I decorate these trees in her honor,
to finish the 12 days of Christmas
that we never got to have together.
And
you're spreading a little love
and light to others as well.
What do you hope
people take away from it?
You just said it. Hope.
I want to give others the hope
that they can experience
what Rona and I had
no matter how brief it was.
And isn't that what we're all after?
A little hope over the holidays?
I'm Adam Kade.
Thanks for watching.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
So... you think we got a story?
Definitely.
After you, my man.
Mom!
The park was lit up,
and Adam let me watch an interview!
I'm gonna go work on ideas
for the Christmas concert.
- Okay!
- I'm Skylar.
I know who you are. I love the show.
Thank you.
Thank you so much
for helping me out today.
I mean, it sounds like
you had a magical time.
Any other time you need a hand.
I really hope you take me up on it.
I just might.
Um... listen.
We, um, we saw something
really special today,
and...
I would like to show it to you.
Maybe after tonight's broadcast?
Um, R-Robbie is headed to a friend's
for dinner tonight...
- Right, right.
- But I-I guess...
I could rearrange some errands...
She's free tonight.
She says you're free.
Mm-hmm.
Uh-huh?
Okay! Great.
He does all this for her?
- Yeah.
- Oh...
So romantic.
Now that I think about it,
I guess you could've watched
my show tonight and seen it.
Then I wouldn't be here with you.
My favorite park
at my favorite time of year.
Oh.
My client had to cancel today.
She said money was too tight,
and a haircut felt like a luxury.
Mm.
The stories you've been reporting on
gave me an idea.
I could
give free haircuts once a month
to anyone who needs one.
That's really wonderful.
In between everything that you do,
you still find a way to help others.
Well, helping my community
matters to me.
It seems I'm not the only one.
Your stories are helping people
shining a light on all the good around us.
Any anchor would have done the same.
But would the old Adam have done it?
You were right
about me needing to find
the soul of a story,
and why it matters.
I didn't know if you
would take it to heart.
I didn't know how much I needed to.
It's only the beginning.
How do you do that?
Do what?
You just
make everything seem so
possible,
even when I can't see it yet.
Sometimes,
you just have to believe there's a way...
before you can see it.
Whoo!
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I got you. Here.
There we go.
Cold doesn't stand a chance.
Thank you.
It's coming down.
- Hey!
- Hey.
You here for cut and color?
Of course.
So, um...
Todd asked me to find more stories,
and I remember you once said
that your clients kept you
connected to the community.
So you thought,
"What better place to look?"
Exactly.
It's been right in front of me
all along.
Well, allow me to introduce you to...
More. Okay.
You could interview Lynn's husband.
His woodworking shop
does cribs for Christmas.
Cribs? Awesome! Okay.
A-And my daughter Mykah's
piano teacher, Edith,
gives free concerts
of classic holiday songs.
Okay.
Yeah, M-Y-K-A...
- Okay, "M-Y-K-A..."
- Yeah.
Okay, I love that. I love that.
Okay, awesome, awesome.
Okay, Mykah, okay...
Okay!
All right, yes. Okay, okay.
Tell us more.
It's called scarf-bombing.
We take the excess scraps,
and we turn them into scarves,
and we tie them onto lampposts, fences,
and gates all around town
to help those in need.
If you see a scarf out in the wild,
you know someone cared enough
to leave a little warmth behind.
Just be sure to save me a scone or two.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays,
and at Christmas,
we must remember to take care of those
who take care of others.
Muriel Bernhardt found
a passion for reading
early on,
and could not wait
to find a way to share it
with others,
and that's how Muriel Bernhardt
of Muriel's Books
turned her love of reading
into a holiday offer.
For every book purchased in December,
Muriel donates three books
to local schools.
You look good sitting at my old desk.
Do you miss it?
Ah, I think teaching
was the right thing for me.
The, uh, holiday shopping
go a little overboard?
Those are donations from the viewers.
They've been flooding the studio.
People want to support
the charities we've been covering.
Perhaps Chicago will feel the same.
I haven't heard from them yet,
and to tell you the truth,
the Chicago job's
been the farthest thing from my mind.
Adam!
There's a call for you.
You're gonna want to take it.
Thank you.
Uh, this is Adam Kade.
Hello?
Hi.
I'm calling about the story
of the man in the park
who once met a woman
in a red peacoat?
Okay. Yes.
Well, you see
the woman in the red peacoat is me!
Um, could you hold one second, please?
There!
That's how it feels
when taking a risk works.
Well done, Adam.
I am so proud of you.
Now you go and finish the story.
Okay.
Hi.
I am so glad you called.
Your story really connected with people,
but today's the last tree.
"12 drummers drumming."
And I'll start again next Christmas.
Haven't enough Christmases gone by?
Rona?
- Hi, Marty!
- Oh!
Oh!
Turning now
to a new chapter of a story
you may already know,
a few nights ago,
we introduced you to Marty,
a retired art teacher
who decorates trees each December
in honor of a long-ago love,
and the hope that one day,
she might find her way back.
I'm happy to report that tonight, she did.
Rona walked into that park,
and just like that,
what once was a memory
became a second chance.
There's a line Marty said
during our first interview
that I have not been able to shake.
He said,
"I was the best version of myself
when I was with her."
That stuck with me.
Maybe because it's rare
to meet someone
who doesn't just see you,
but sees the best in you
and helps you to see it for yourself.
So, tonight, Marty and Rona
thank you for reminding us
that if we are lucky, love finds a way.
That was such a beautiful story.
I'm really glad you found it.
Thank you. Me too.
Listen, um...
I got you something.
Really?
Yes, sir.
Okay.
So, for as long as I've known you,
you've gotten everyone gift cards,
so what is this?
You mentioned that the twins started
violin lessons.
Yes, and so I thought
those might come in handy.
That's very thoughtful.
Yeah, you should hear 'em
practicing "Silent Night."
Oh...
It's anything but.
Merry Christmas, Todd.
Merry Christmas, Adam.
Oh, thank you so much
for getting those groceries.
I've hardly had any time,
and I didn't want to order in
again tonight.
I'm just happy you asked.
Hello?
Hi.
Um,
so, I did something
kind of out of character.
I called in a vacation day for tomorrow
a real one this time.
Oh, good for you.
What are you gonna do with it?
Well, my parents throw
this holiday party every year,
and I was thinking
that maybe you and Robbie
would like to come?
Oh, I'm sure Robbie would love to,
but, um
he'll be at his dad's.
Ah, okay.
Um, well, if you're still free,
maybe you
would like to come
as my, uh
uh, as my, um...
As your...
Date?
Can you hold on for a second?
Sure.
Skylar, he's asking me out on a date.
Why'd you go on mute? Say yes!
I don't know if I'm ready.
He's making room for you in his life.
Now is your chance to do the same.
What could go wrong?
I don't know. Everything?
Maybe instead, ask yourself
what could go right.
Back.
So, um
yes.
That'd be great.
- Great! Great!
- Yes.
I mean... I was hoping you'd say that.
So, um
pick you up at 6:00?
See you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow.
- Good night.
- Good night.
Okay.
Was that Adam?
Yes.
Are you going on a date?
Um.
Well...
It's okay, Mom.
I want you to be happy.
You're what makes me happy.
You can have more than one happy.
When did you get so smart?
I've always been smart!
Welcome, welcome.
So your family doesn't
even know you're coming?
Well, I thought
it'd be fun to surprise them.
Adam?
Merry Christmas, Mom!
Oh!
I thought you were working tonight.
Being here is more important.
Oh... Jack, look who's here!
Adam?
As seen on TV! Bring it in, son.
Here you are.
Mom, Dad, this is Lucy.
Lucy, these are my parents,
Norma and Jack.
Nice to meet you.
Well, you get one of these, too!
Oh!
Oh.
That was the year
I knit matching sweaters
for the whole family.
Of course,
Adam got a growth spurt
the week before,
and barely fit.
Oh!
She knitted me
this absurdly long one the next year,
just in case I kept growing.
It had Dasher right on the front.
It was my favorite.
I wore it so much
that the edges began to fray.
It is so wonderful having you here.
I feel the same way, Mom.
Wait, you put out a stocking for me?
But you didn't even know
I was coming home.
We put out a stocking every year.
Makes us feel like you're not so far away.
And... it's tradition.
Tradition is important.
Thank you.
For what, son?
For being supportive of me,
even when I've had to let
too many Christmases go by.
I know it wasn't easy,
and I promise I won't let it happen again.
This is your home, Adam.
Always has been, always will be.
Cheers.
I never used to notice nights like this.
They're beautiful,
when you take the moment
to look around.
I was always too busy for that.
Always working.
I thought being busy made me important,
but then I met you and Robbie...
And it's like
my whole world slowed down
in the best way.
For the longest time,
I thought it was my job
to stay outside the story.
Not get emotional, not get...
Close?
Exactly.
I didn't realize
how closed off I had become.
You know what's funny?
What?
I thought I was fine on my own too.
I'd built this little island,
me and Robbie.
Now I look up,
and you're there.
You keep showing up,
for the both of us.
I didn't expect any of this to happen.
Me neither,
but I'm happy it is.
Me too.
Oh...
- Uh...
- That's okay.
Take the call.
Sorry, just, um, just give me
one second, okay?
Nathan, hi.
Adam! Good news
you're making major waves,
especially with that, uh
long-lost love piece.
They want you in the studio
for an interview.
That's fantastic. Well, when?
Tomorrow. I know it's tight,
but this thing is moving fast.
I didn't realize
you'd be meeting with people
before the holidays.
Well, we want the new anchor
to hit the ground running top of the year.
So, can I tell everyone you'll
be on that morning flight?
Yes, absolutely.
See you in Chicago tomorrow.
This is a huge opportunity,
and I appreciate the chance at it.
Thanks, Adam.
Okay, thank you.
Chicago?
Um.
Yeah, there's an opening
for a lead anchor position.
So you're
you're leaving?
It's just an interview.
Um...
Is that what everything's been about?
What do you mean?
Oh. The new Adam.
Opening up on air
the connections
you've made with people, um
was it all just to get noticed
for a bigger job?
No. No.
No, that was all real.
You can trust me on that.
Then
then why did you keep this from me?
There was never the right time
to bring it up,
and-and-and maybe
maybe I was afraid
of what it would mean.
So.
You let me believe
that this could be something.
You
let Robbie believe.
This is something.
I promise you, it is.
Yeah, but
if your interview goes well
- you would leave.
- I don't know.
I don't know!
I knew this was a mistake.
No, wait, wait. Lucy, Lucy! I...
I-It's not even me I'm worried about.
I've been here before, but,
but Robbie?
You made promises to him.
I meant them, and I still do.
Can you keep them?
At least let me explain it to him.
I am so sorry,
but I-I don't think this is a good idea.
Good luck in Chicago.
Really. Uh...
I really hope it is
everything you're looking for.
Wait, Lucy.
Lucy, I...
Lucy!
Why can't Adam be here?
He was supposed to help me
with my video for the Christmas concert.
I know, sweetheart.
I wish things were different too.
But
he has a big opportunity in Chicago,
something he has been
looking towards for a long time,
and we both decided that
it'd be better
if we give him space to figure that out.
But why?
I don't want him to leave.
You know how, every year,
we pick out the perfect Christmas tree?
And we bring it home,
and we decorate it,
and it stays until the holidays are over?
Well, Adam was like our tree.
He came into our lives to shine
just at the right time,
and he brought us joy,
and memories,
but, like our tree, he can't stay forever.
But I want him to.
Oh, honey
sometimes grown-up stuff
is complicated,
but that doesn't change the fact
that he cares about you,
and it definitely doesn't change
how proud I am of you.
Okay.
Oh!
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle doves
And a partridge
In a pear tree
Thank you to my fifth-grade class
for the wonderful performance!
And that concludes
our annual Christmas concert.
I hope you all...
Wait, wait, wait! Wait, wait, wait!
Wait, I'm sorry.
There's still one more performance.
Adam!
Sorry.
Hey! Ready to get out there
and show 'em what you got?
But we never filmed a segment.
We don't need it.
What's a skill
that a news anchor has to be good at?
Improvising during live broadcasts.
Mm-hmm.
I have an idea!
Okay.
But... I'm nervous.
You believed in me,
that I was capable of something
I didn't even see in myself.
Now, I'm here because
I believe in you, okay?
We can do this.
- Yeah!
- Come on.
Uh, we'll be right back.
- Adam Kade.
- Yes.
You're used to asking
the tough questions,
but tonight,
you're the one in the hot seat.
Uh-oh. Is it too late to back out?
Not unless you could outrun
a fifth grader.
First question.
Your reporting used to be
all facts, no frosting.
What made you shake things up?
I met a certain 10-year-old
who asked me why I didn't report
on happier things.
That kid sounds like a genius!
He sure is,
and he helped me realize
that what I put out in the world matters.
That's what made all the difference.
Somewhere along the way,
I stopped just
reporting on this community.
I became a part of it.
The truth is, sometimes
you don't need facts
you need connection.
Christmas is right around the corner.
What's your wish this year?
And bonus question
which of Santa's reindeer
would make the best news anchor?
Dasher, obviously. He's got hustle.
And for your first question
my wish is that other people
can learn what I did,
that Christmas isn't something
that just happens.
It's made by choosing to see the good,
even if it's hard to find at first.
And where did you learn that from?
I learned that from you.
One final question,
and I think it's gonna be a big scoop.
Ooh!
Any plans about your future
you want to share with everyone?
No scoop here.
Minneapolis is my home,
and I feel like I am just getting started.
Sometimes
the bigger story isn't out there,
it's right in front of you,
and, um... I don't want to miss it.
How will you know
when you see it?
It'll make you want to be
the best version of yourself.
Well, folks
this seems like
a great place to wrap it up.
I'm Robbie Sullivan
from Elk River Elementary,
wishing everyone
a very Merry Christmas!
Whoo!
Good job.
Oh, honey!
I am so proud of you.
Thanks, Mom.
Oh...
Great job.
Now, go get your things.
Lucy, I am so, so sorry.
I never meant to hurt you.
Or Robbie.
I know. I'm sorry too.
But I don't want to be the reason
you walk away from your dream.
I'm not walking away from it.
I am finally realizing
just what it is.
