This was the start of a long association between Carson and McMahon as the two teamed up again when Carson became the new host of the Tonight Show on October 1st, 1962, with McMahon as Carson's announcer and sidekick for Carson's 30-year reign as host of the show. NOTE: Woody Woodbury would succeed Johnny Carson as host of Who Do You Trust? beginning September 10, 1962, for the duration of the series, fifteen additional months, until its final episode aired on December 27, 1963.

Jean Peril, a bearded lady in a carnival who has acquired 700 tattoos. Miss Switzerland, a health advocate who recommends drinking milk.

Marsha Short, a elder who professes the secret of life is to think young. Clara Adams, who demonstrates her talent playing the piano backwards.

Nostradamus, who states that everything in life has occurred many times...over and over and makes predictions that our next president of the United States in 1964 will be Henry Cabot Lodge, and the next major war for the US will be in 1999. He also predicts that "Who Do You Trust" will be back on television by popular demand. Woody Woodbury signs off the air for the last time referring to the six and half candles on a cake marking the time the show has been on the air. He mentions that all in the studio and crew will be having a big party following this taping and recommends all viewers to enjoy all of the new ABC TV programs in production.
