Carol announces that Nancy Wilson, Bernadette Peters and the Burgundy Street Singers are the guests. A short Q&A has questions about her hair color and age.

A VIP sketch has Carol spoofing Mae West (called Mae East). She says she was 39 on her last birthday 30 years ago. Lyle plays a houseboy.

Nancy Wilson sings a slow jazzy version of Frankie Valli's Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You.

Fireside chat is a spoof of the Nixon family at San Clemente. Harvey is the president, Carol the First Lady, Vicki the ditzy daughter. They also have a Mexican American housekeeper Juanita.

Carol introduces Bernadette Peters who she says will be in a Broadway show La Strada. She sings Poor Butterfly.

The Burgundy Street Singers (a group that was on Jimmie Rodgers' TV summer show) sings Crosby, Stills and Nash's Marrakesh Express.

A Carol and Sis sketch has Carol with laryngitis and Elaine Joyce is a dumb blonde from next door that Roger keeps staring at.

Carol, Nancy and Bernadette sing a tribute to movies that they don't make them like that anymore. Nancy does an intrigue movie sketch where she sings while men keep getting killed around her. Carol has a hilarious bit spoofing Carmen Miranda. Harvey plays Desi Arnaz, Carol laughs loudly at one of his ad libs. Vicki plays a pregnant Broadway star replaced by Bernadette. She does a tap dancing number with all the dancers.

Carol sings her theme and Nancy and Bernadette sign her book.
