Q&A-Carol introduces than Governor Ronald Reagan, the audience asks him questions about he if plans to go to Washington and if Carol would be his running mate.

Guest Soupy Sales is a hospital patient faking injuries, Carol shows up as Alice Portnoy blackmailing him.

Mel Torme sings Hurry On Down with the dancers.

Carol & Sis sketch is pretty funny as Carol in on a hunger strike because Roger won't take her on a Hawaii business trip. Harold Gould plays Roger's boss.

There is a long tribute to Warner Brothers films. Carol plays Bugs Bunny and Soupy is Elmer Fudd. Harvey and Mel sing Makin Whoopee. Vicki and Mel sing some Cole Porter. Soupy imitates Eddie Cantor. Everyone pays tribute to George M Cohan with Grand Old Flag.

Carol spoofs Joan Crawford as Mildred Fierce. She is a tough businesswoman who acts like a man. Carol would later do another Mildred Fierce sketch which followed the movie more closely.

Carol plays a teacher of WB contract players, getting Mel to imitate John Garfield, Harvey James Cagney, Soupy as Edward G Robinson and Lyle as Humphrey Bogart.

Carol sings her theme and guests sign her book.
