Ah, the classic story of Christmas: Jesus, Joseph, and a platinum blonde former Playmate.

Brampton-born Russell Peters has proven he’s not only a talented comedian, but a great casting agent. Peterson has selected fellow Canadian Pamela Anderson to play the role of the Virgin Mary in an upcoming television show called “A Russell Peters Christmas Special.” The 44-year old former Baywatch star and Playmate of the Month has been cast alongside such legends as Michael Bublé and Jon Lovitz to star in a mock manger scene. Russell Peters will also play Joseph in the show, which will air in early December.
