- The comedy segment is "The Edge of Wetness", a soap opera monologue featuring members of the audience. Shelley Winters comes out wearing a blanket, and complains about the temperature in the studio, especially backstage. She also asks Johnny if he had been nude in the "Shower with a Star" sketch he did recently, and compliments him on how his body has improved. She also talks about writing a book and says she has excellent recall, but not for dates. She then talks about how Cary Grant advised her to take up a new interest every year to stay young. As she is writing her second book, she is taking typing at an adult education class at Fairfax High School, but is not very accurate; she prefers to type with her eyes closed rather than typing from a text. She comments on how exciting it is to see the many immigrants taking English classes, as she believes it demonstrates the promise of America. She and Johnny also talk about marriage; she doesn't believe she will marry again, and says that her three marriages were generally for publicity. She observes that she was more interested in getting married than in actually being married, and was sort of surprised her husbands stuck around after the honeymoon. Ronnie Shakes does a stand-up comedy routine. Annie Potts talks about being teased for her name, and how her parents met in Kentucky while her father was a military officer and her mother was a singer. She mentions "Ghostbusters", and Winters interjects that she seems familiar and has seen her somewhere. Potts replies that they did the film "King of the Gypsies" together, which they discuss; Winters eventually remembers a scene they were both in. Winters then recalls how she once forgot about having worked with Paul Newman on "Harper", in which they spent three days doing love scenes. Potts also mentions other films she has coming out soon.—lenab9011
