- Johnny examines celebrities' astrological outlooks. Danny Thomas (The Practice (1976)); Jonathan Winters (200 Years of American Humor (1976) (TV)); Ralph Nader discusses various consumer protection topics.
- The comedy segment is astrological predictions for celebrities. Jonathan Winters tells various jokes and stories from his wild past, including a brush with a state trooper on a cold night, and comments on NBC dropping its peacock logo. At Johnny's suggestion, he takes on the voices of two senators (Brainard Bumfort and Homer Latchbody), and does parts of the interview in character, promoting topics such as yearlong Halloween and plastic vegetables. He also talks about his TV special (with a bicentennial theme) that is airing the following night; several clips are shown. Danny Thomas talks about his new series "The Practice", in which he plays a general medical practitioner, and shows a clip from it. He talks about the series' combination of comedy and drama, and the positive feedback it has received from test audiences; he also tells several medical-themed jokes. Introducing Ralph Nader, Johnny says he has wanted him on the show for a long time, and it is clear they have many opinions in common. They discuss politics and government and how individual voters can exert more influence. They also discuss citizen apathy. Johnny brings up the irony of the government paying to support tobacco farming while another branch is describing the the negative health effects. They also discuss the idea of a check-off to allow citizens to fund an organization to examine utility companies (opposed by the utility companies), the auto industry fight against airbags, and energy companies' dislike of solar energy. At times, Nader engages Winters - in character as a rural senator - in an interview exchange.—lenab9011
