Originally, telecast in late January 1974, Tom Snyder plays host, on location, to four different party entrepreneur experts in their field.
Edie Steinmetz known as the "Dove Lady," provides doves at parities.
Harry Finely is discusses the variety of elaborate flowers
used at a Hollywood Party which can cost up to $30,000...as seen at the wedding of Kathy and Dean Martin. Other celebrities Harry has had as clients include Frank Sinatra, Lucille Ball, and Kirk Douglas.
Phil Scully known as the "Chef To The Stars" discusses with Tom, a personal friend, the "Queen Mary Buffet," and mentions favorite foods requested by past clients, Barbra Streisand, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, and Elizabeth Taylor.
Marcia Lehr joins Tom discussing her exquisite elaborate invitations she creates by hand and silk screen. Her clients include Del Webb, Buddy Hackett, Berry Gordy, and Sammy Davis Jr.
And Bernie Richards rounds out the party who provides music for all festive occasions. He mentions to Snyder a number of funny anecdotes he has experienced and the types of music currently requested today.

October 1, 1962-May 22, 1992. Johnny Carson, host of NBC's network late-night "Tonight Show" reigned for 30 unprecedented years...five times the combined tenure of Steve Allen, and Jack Paar. Carson was impervious to competition, including efforts to dethrone him by Les Crane, Joey Bishop, Merv Griffin, Dick Cavett, Jack Paar, Pat Sajak, Joan Rivers, and Arsenio Hall. Sadly, very few complete "Tonight Show" broadcasts survive during Johnny Carson's first ten years of broadcasting. Around 1965, through the early 1970's, oldest tapes were first erased systematically by orders from myopic NBC executives, to be recycled for purposes of saving money. Ironically, in many cases, these older master tapes were too brittle, and portended probable drop-outs for re-use after being erased. Subsequently blank after being erased, these older questionable master 2" Quad tapes were either sparingly used or never used again for recording new programming and eventually were discarded. Saving thousands of dollars at the time (wiping master tapes for potential re-use) resulted in losing millions of dollars by NBC in today's marketplace, and more importantly wiping thousands of historic TONIGHT SHOW broadcasts, which contain precious personal anecdotes from political, show business, and sports icons of the past.
Guest Host: Bill Cosby.
