James Meredith, who became Republican candidate to run against Adam Clayton Powell in the New York congressional race, drops out. Walter Cronkite announces: "Two Senate Committees begin joint hearings tomorrow on proposals to develop an electric powered automobile to help ease the country's air pollution crises. Maine Democratic Senator Edmund Muskie will be co-chairman of the hearings and will talk about the urgency of the problem."
Ed Muskie: "We know air pollution causes death. We know long-term low-level exposure to air pollution is unhealthy. We know air pollution destroys crops and foliage. We know that it damages property, And we know it is going to be a more serious problem in the future than in the past. With this background knowledge, we also know that the automobile is the single biggest contributor to air pollution. With this combination of facts, we have no choice but to work on the problem. And this electric car is one of the options we are exploring."
Walter Cronkite: "When the time comes when electric cars are common, it will be one of the most dramatic changes in transportation since the development of the first gasoline automobile."
Robert Schakne reports on the history of the electric car's past developments going back to 1916 and it's current development.

On this 6th show of the new Late Night series, Jack Paar is Joey's guest. Paar reminisces and discusses the politics surrounding THE TONIGHT SHOW when he was host (1957-1962). Jack sates that he doesn't miss returning to TV and is happy living a more serene life away from show business.
Joey Bishop is host of this week-night-talk show originating live from Hollywood. Announcer and sidekick is Regis Philbin. Johnny Mann conducts the orchestra.
The ABC Late Night chair had previously been occupied by Les Crane when the show was called THE LES CRANE SHOW, and later by a succession of guest hosts (when it was called NIGHTLIFE).
Bishop gave it a two & half year run but he was never able to beat Johnny Carson in the ratings, and in late November, 1969 Joey was fired by ABC. Bishop had one more month to fulfill with the show, but decided to walk out, a similar deja vu moment on TV when Jack Paar walked off his TONIGHT SHOW 13 years before.
Dick Cavett then took over the ABC late night seat after the final JOEY BISHOP SHOW which aired December 26, 1969, closing out the decade of the 60's.

In the fall of 1962 Gleason was back to a Saturday slot, which he occupied for another eight seasons. From 1962 to 1966 it was called "Jackie Gleason and His American Scene Magazine," and featured topical comedy sketches as well as musical numbers. One of Gleason's characters, Joe the Bartender, appeared regularly. Addressing the camera as his patron, Joe told a few jokes before calling out the tipsy Crazy Guggenheim from the back room. Guggenheim, played by Frank Fontaine, traded quips with Joe and then sang a song. Sue Ann Langdon was also featured regularly. In 1966 Gleason moved the operation to Miami Beach. The show was retitled "The Jackie Gleason Show." For the first time in almost a decade, production of "The Honeymooners" was resumed. Gleason was reunited with Art Carney; Sheila MacRae and Jane Kean were added to play Alice and Trixie. Many of these later "Honeymooners" sketches ran a full hour, and the accent was now on music.
