There are any number of actors, voice-over artists, or celebrities that NBC could have pegged to read 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas.' Instead, they went with the guy who narrates horrifying true crime television.

Dateline correspondent, Keith Morrison gives us a full 10-minute reading of the classic Christmas tale, complete with yule log in a fireplace and all the holiday decor. What doesn't seem to match is his super recognizable voice. The voice that typically reports things like "They were found guilty on all counts" or "They were never seen again."

It's a bold move to have your true crime doc host narrate a children's Christmas story for 10 minutes. But honestly, let's keep this trend rolling. I only wish 'Unsolved Mysteries' host, Robert Stack were still here with us to recite 'The Night Before Christmas.' A guy can dream, I guess.
