David Cook fans who attended a taping Thursday night in Los Angeles, for the Carrie Underwood holiday special, set to air on FOX December 7, brought back a few fun spoilers:

- David and Carrie did a really “awkward and dorky” skit before their duet. David thanked Carrie for “letting him come to pimp his album, ” Carrie said, her producers made her invite him. LULZ!
