Five-time Emmy winner Alan Alda (Hawkeye Pierce on MAS*H) appears in a "Family" sketch as Eunice's brother Larry, a commercial artist who makes the dreadful mistake of getting home for a Christmas visit. Alan then appears with Carol in the "Nobody Does It Like Me" sketch (playing a put-upon department store Santa) and "Morton of the Movies" (as a shy fellow who can only woo a girl by using dialogue from favorite films). The big finale, "Take Me Back to Manhattan," features songs about the Big Apple: "East Side, West Side," "New York, New York (A Hell of a Town)," "The Lullaby of Broadway," "I'll Take Manhattan" and "How About You." Alan later cast Carol in The Four Seasons, The 1981 film he directed.
