Yes, Virginia, the Newsboys were on Jenny Jones' Christmas Special. I'm a little unclear on what year this was (either '99 or '00), but here they are, all bundled up for the winter. Which of course is rather silly since you know it has to be really hot under those studio lights! The 'Boys played a shortened version of "I Surrender All" and "Happy Christmas," which is a John Lennon song. So break out the eggnog, grab a ginger cookie, and take a look at these oh-so-Christmas-y screen caps. Happy Christmas!

| See? Eanah wouldn't lie... It really is Jenny Jones, holding a LLD CD and introducing the Newsboys. | And look! Here they
are, all bundled up for the winter. I wonder if Peter, Duncan,
and Phil still think it's odd to have such cold weather for Christmas
or if they're used to it by now. |

| Here comes the straggler
of the group, Jeff. I couldn't see Duncan come in. I wonder if
he was already up with the drum kit or if he just kinda sneaked
in with the pack and I never saw him... Meanwhile, check out
the acoustic bass Phil has there. And the acoustic guitars Peter
and Jody have. Kinda different. |
I apologize for this photo. They were fading from a long shot of the band to a closeup on Peter right when Pete made this silly face, cracking up the entire audience. So just ignore the fact that you can see Duncan inside Peter's head and enjoy the funny expression. |

an emotion other than happy? Hee hee. |

| A long-shot of the band
(Jeff's kind of hiding, I'm afraid). I have no clue what that
expression is on Jenny Jones' face... |
Well, it's four of them in one shot anyway. Jeff was a master at hiding. |

| Wow! It's all five of them in one
shot! It's a miracle! Enjoy Jeff while you can see him. They
never did give him a close-up. |
Peter sang with clenched teeth the entire time. I wonder if his jaw hurt or something that day. |

| There they are again: all five Newsboys! | Jody has taken after Phil in this
picture and has suddenly become very easily distracted. Jody,
you looking at yourself in the monitor or something? |

| A nice shot of Jody the Giant!!! Or of his acoustic guitar. Your choice. | A nice close shot of Peter, but
unfortunately it looks like he has a microphone for a nose. Hee
hee hee. |

| There we go. He moved a bit. | One more Peter expression for good
measure... Is it me, or does he look slightly frightening in
this shot? |

| Ah, Peter and Phil... | And now the same scene from the
other angle. Hi, Jody! |

| I think this is the only picture
of a glum Duncan I've ever seen in my entire life! He must be
doing his Jody impression. |
Duncan gets so into his music. He's fun to watch. |

| The camera loves Peter. So for those
of you who love Peter, more Peter pics. |
See what I mean about the clenched teeth? |

Okay, now this is a cute expression... |

| One final one of a smiley Peter. | And as the crowd goes wild, Peter gives credit where credit is due. |
Now was that neat or what? It's good to see the Newsboys getting some attention from the secular arena. Ready to go back to the multimedia section?
