Comic musician Victor Borge drops by this edition of "Laugh-In" doing some of his schtick. Among the celebs making cut-ins are Rosemary Clooney and Phil Harris. Also appearing (on film) are The Banana Splits-a group of humans in animal costumes who had their own Saturday Morning show produced by Hanna-Barbera at the time. To tell the truth, this was a so-so ep of the show for me so I'm giving this a 5...

The Banana Splits appear ...
tforbes-26 January 2017
By the time this "Laugh-In" episode aired, the show had become so established that it was attracting major performers such as Rosemary Clooney and Victor Borge.
One remarkable thing about this airing is that we get to see the Banana Splits appear! You rarely ever got to see Saturday morning characters (Hanna-Barbera ones) appear on a prime-time show, let alone the hottest TV comedy series. But I guess the producers knew that kids were watching this show (I was one of them in 1968!).
Anyway, the show had settled into its ways by this time, for better or worse. Seeing the Hanna-Barbera characters was fun!
