The November 8 telecast started on CBS in the Eastern and Central time zones just minutes after United Press International circulated the news of
Dorothy Kilgallen's death. At the conclusion of this episode,
Douglas Edwards appeared on-screen to deliver his regular afternoon five-minute news update. He said, "Dorothy Kilgallen, just seen on the preceding prerecorded program, was found dead in her home today." No recording exists of Edwards' newscast.
