The comedy segment is Aunt Blabby, who talks about how watching "Roots" led her to discover some of her own odd relatives. Diana Ross performs; in the following interview, she talks about her trip home to Detroit. Asked about touring, she says that all tours are the same whether starting out or successful - much time in hotel rooms. Once she was successful, she bought a home for her mother, and then bought herself a car. At one time she decided not to buy diamonds for herself, because she felt it was better to receive them as a gift from a man, but she later relented. She talks about her upcoming special and her role planning it, including her portrayals of other famous singers including Bessie Smith, Josephine Baker and Ethel Waters. Burt Reynolds talks about his new house next to Barbra Streisand's, which was previously owned by George Harrison. He thanks viewers for the mail he got from his last appearance, when he appeared ill; over a hundred people sent him Bibles, which he greatly appreciated. Reynolds then shows home movies from his trip to Mexico, including a fishing excursion and being serenaded in his empty hotel by a mariachi band as a hurricane approached. Jay Leno, in his Tonight Show debut at age 22, does a stand-up routine. Jack Douglas talks about brief vignettes of various episodes in life and other subjects Johnny asks about, such as his failed investments in a ski resort in Maine and a rubber plantation in Brazil. He then shows a film of supposedly "found footage", to which he and Johnny add humorous narration, much of it based on the premise that the footage depicts the hidden life and history of Beverly Hills.
