Although frequent guests on The Carol Burnett Show, and married, Eydie Gorme and Steve Lawrence made most of their appearances separately, each shining in song and comedy. Eydie was the guest for this seventh-season episode, singing "The Way We Were" and "How About Me." Then she has some musical fun with the rest of the cast in a series of short skits that spoof familiar song titles and lyrics. Tim Conway, not yet a regular on the show, breaks up both Harvey Korman and Lyle Waggoner in a sketch about a "brutal " Nazi interrogator. Vicki Lawrence plays a fortune teller giving Carol a lively reading. And Lyle and Vicki play Nick and Nora Charles in a parody of The Thin Man. This was the last season for Lyle, who had been with the show since it premiered in 1967. He soon was playing Major Steve Trevor on Wonder Woman.
