- Johnny welcomes an audience filled with the owners and managers of NBC's affiliates, and draws one of their names (John Carpenter of New Orleans) to award him an old prop from the show, a "Swiss Army Wife". Johnny then discusses how voters in a Florida county settled on an extensive definition of "buttocks" for an ordinance on skimpy bikinis, and suggests alternative definitions. Craig T. Nelson recalls that his first television appearance was as a member of the comedy troupe The Third Bananas, who appeared on The Tonight Show 19 years earlier. He notes that the appearance was disastrous, with Johnny telling them to never come back; the troupe included not only Nelson but also Barry Levinson and Rudy De Luca, with all three having previously written for Tim Conway's show (their manager was Wally Amos, who later founded Famous Amos cookies). Nelson then comments on attending a parent-teacher conference for his teenage son, noting his own nervousness upon recalling similar situations with his own father, and talks about his son's acting ambitions. He also talks about his auto racing hobby, noting that he recently won $40 in a race. Michael Crawford performs "The Music of the Night", then discusses the early stage mishaps in "Phantom of the Opera", and talks about now being widely recognized in public. He also talks about being cast in the movie "Hello, Dolly!" by Gene Kelly, who he found immensely intimidating as a dancer. Bob Costas discusses the upcoming broadcast of the Summer Olympics in Barcelona, and talks about covering numerous sports and hosting his talk show which airs an hour after Johnny's. He recounts humorous, awkward incidents by baseball broadcasters including Vin Scully and several others, one of which involved a visit to the booth by Miss Cheesecake.
