A prelude Special sampling of what Danny Kaye intends to present next season starring in a weekly variety series.
Lucille Ball guests. It's only a two-star affair, so Lucy shows Danny what a pair of distinguished guests might add to the show.
Danny Kaye, in the past a rare figure on home screens, is switching video strategy- he appeared earlier today on NBC's "Cultural Center" special and next season he's planning a weekly series. His guest for tonight's taped hour of comedy and song is Lucille Ball.
In a sketch, Danny and Lucy investigate the art of dining out. In a Japanese restaurant, they find eating with chopsticks a problem; a French bistro offers an interesting treat-most of the dishes are prepared with brandy and the jungle "atmosphere" at a Polynesian spot makes it tough to locate a table.
It's only a two-star affair, so Lucy shows Danny what a pair of distinguished guests might add to the show. She gives her impressions of Judy Garland singing "Swanee" and Marlene Dietrich doing "You're Just in Love." Danny adds a take-off on- and with- the Dunhills, tap dancing group.
Walter Scharf conducts the orchestra.
