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.
