- Johnny looks at holiday shopping options and foreign commercials. David Steinberg discusses commercials and satellite TV; Jann Karam performs stand-up; Don Yesso (Frank's Place (1987)).
- The comedy segment is specialty stores for holiday shopping; the audience reaction is decidedly muted, and Johnny skims through the bit before shifting to clips from several commercials from overseas for Kaiser beer, L.O.C. stain remover (England) and Freshmint breath mints (Norway). David Steinberg talks about making commercials, and how executives over-analyze every aspect of them; Johnny comments that often ads are widely liked even if they produce little interest in the product. Steinberg discusses working with kids in commercials, and the foolishness of many clients. Johnny notes that live models are now allowed in brassiere ads. Then Steinberg talks about getting satellite TV, and his compulsion to watch everything he can, even eastern European TV; he mentions that he can often watch portions of newscasts that are on camera but don't get sent out for broadcast. He then discusses Douglas Ginsburg's withdrawal of his Supreme Court nomination, and he and Johnny comment on how politicians have characterized their past use of marijuana. Jann Karam does stand-up comedy in her first appearance on The Tonight Show. Don Yesso of the sitcom "Frank's Place" explains the unusual way he became an actor in his 30s after being a high school football coach - by meeting a production executive on a plane flight. He also talks about working on the studio lot, and meeting people like Jill St. John.—lenab9011
