Carol announces Steve Lawrence and Tim Conway are the guests, there is no Q&A.

It begins with a hilarious sketch about current TV commercials. In the bathroom Carol flushes the Tidy Bowl man. Harvey plays Peter Pan of the peanut butter ads, Alan Sues played him in those and Harvey is obviously doing a parody of him. Carol has funny encounters with the dancers in Doublemint ads spoof. Tim shows up as naturalist Euell Gibbons. Steve is her husband who runs off with stewardess Vicki.

Steve Lawrence sings a medley of "Rainy Days And Mondays" and "Here's That Rainy Day"

One of the funniest Old Man (Tim) sketches is next. He is a dresser to short tempered actor Harvey. Harvey flubs his lines and has one of his loudest laughing fits.

There is a short clip of outtakes of Tim on another show where he is the one breaking up in a sketch.

Steve plays a groom on his bachelor party, he tries to pick up barfly Carol but finds out she is the bride's sister.

A pantomime sketch as Carol and Tim as married couple, he works the late shift and she the morning. Funniest bit involves a toaster.

There is a great musical tribute to George Gershwin. It is set on a cruise ship. Carol is single woman and Vicki her maid. Steve is a single man and Harvey his butler. Some of the songs included are "Someone To Watch Over Me", "Stairway To Paradise". "I've Got A Crush On You" "But Not For Me', I Got Rhythm.

Carol does a PSA for the Heart Fund. She sings her theme song and is joined by Steve on the last line.
