Also featured were the Mitchell Ayres Orchestra and The Fontane Sisters, together with announcer Frank Gallop. In the fall of 1955 Como returned to NBC, where he hosted a weekly hour show for the next eight years; from 1955 to 1959 it was seen Saturdays and was titled The Perry Como Show. From 1959 to 1963 it was seen on Wednesdays and was titled The Kraft Music Hall. The Mitchell Ayres Orchestra and Frank Gallop were again featured, along with The Ray Charles Singers and The Louis DaPron Dancers (later, The Peter Gennaro Dancers).

Andy's guests for his first special (Williams had 19 TV specials from 1962-1987) are Dick Van Dyke, Andy Griffith and Ann-Margret. The theme is "today," as Andy and all demonstrate a little "contemporary nostalgia" via comedy sketches and song. 
  Andy Griffith delivers a speech at the UN; Dick Van Dyke and Ann-Margret examine the world of teenagers; the two Andy's get together for some bachelor philosophy. 

*This one hour Special was a Pilot for his one hour variety series which ran on NBC TV for five seasons from Sept. 2, 1962 - Sept. 3, 1967. 

NOTE:   
The Andy Williams Special (1962 TV Special)

No copy of this show is known to exist. When Andy Williams teamed up with Ann-Margret in 2004 for shows in Branson, Missouri he tried to find a copy to include clips from their 1962 appearance. NBC didn't have a copy of the color videotape nor did the shows producers or any of the TV archives.
