- Buddy Hackett talks about being a houseguest, skiing and romance; Sally Field (Norma Rae (1979)); Eubie Blake (Broadway musical revue "Eubie!") performs and is interviewed.
- The comedy segment is Carnac the Magnificent. Johnny introduces Buddy Hackett as someone who looks like a comedian, and then tries to explain the comment while Hackett jokes about it. Hackett then tells a story about staying in Sun Valley in a cabin used by the Kennedys, and leaving extra gentile foods (mayonnaise, white bread) for them. There is further discussion about skiing, including jokes about President Carter's skiing accident. Discussion of the Lee Marvin palimony lawsuit leads to Hackett telling several stories about his marriage (24 years) and how romantic dreams are better than reality. Sally Field makes her first appearance on the show with Johnny. She mentions how she was not part of clubs in high school. When Johnny asks about dreams, and mentions flying, she tells how the crane operator for "The Flying Nun" was alcoholic and put her in uncomfortable situations. Johnny asks about her relationship with Burt Reynolds, and she replies "lovers". After some discussion about how that answer would have been controversial in the past, the conversation moves to her upcoming film "Norma Rae". She says that it is hard to make the film sound interesting, but that she is getting much positive feedback about it. A clip is shown. She then discusses the tips Reynolds gave her for dealing with Johnny. The last tip was "be aggressive" for Johnny to react against, and she pulls a can of shaving cream from her purse and puts some on the sides of his head and his nose, while explaining that he can't do anything to such a short, sweet female. Johnny looks quite surprised, then returns the favor, putting some down her blouse and on her hair. Eubie Blake is introduced. During the interview he talks about how much he enjoyed the Grammy Awards, and how his father taught him racial tolerance though they lived in segregated Baltimore. Blake was born in 1883; his parents had been slaves when young.—lenab9011
