Glenda has THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE in her life.
The last three carolers this week are…
Glenda Morgan Brown: Van Nuys, CA (originally from Ontario, Canada); administrative assistant at a church in the San Fernando Valley, theater dialect coach; married to David for 36 years with a son, granddaughter; grew up watching hockey (particularly the Maple Leafs)
Charlotte Cush: West Covina, CA (originally from Washington State); building permit technician; married to Zachary with a son; enjoys all kinds of movies and TV, participates in movie trivia nights (but hasn't yet won a game)
Michael "Supe" Granda: hometown not mentioned; professional Santa Claus every December, writing a book about his experiences; married to Julie with a blended family of two kids, two stepkids, seven grandkids who convinced him to try out for Wheel; "Supe" is his college nickname
When Supe explains that he got his nickname from a Superman suit and tequila bottle in his Cliff notes, Pat stops him and says, "If Lois Lane is involved, forget it." Later, he asks the audience, "Who wants to sit on Santa's lap? Raise your hand!"
