Dr. Joyce Brothers, a former academic psychologist who, long before Drs. Ruth, Phil and Laura, was counseling millions over the airwaves.

Dr. Joyce Brothers, as she was always known professionally — a full-name hallmark of the more formal times in which she began her career — was widely described as the mother of mass-media psychology and homiletic guidance she administered for decades via radio and television.

Historically, she was a bridge between advice columnists like Dear Abby and Ann Landers, who got their start in the mid-1950s, and the self-help advocates of the 1970s and afterward.

Throughout the 1960s, and long beyond, one could scarcely turn on the television or open a newspaper without encountering her. She was the host of her own nationally syndicated TV shows, starting in the late 1950s with “The Dr. Joyce Brothers Show” and over the years including “Ask Dr. Brothers,” “Consult Dr. Brothers” and “Living Easy With Dr. Joyce Brothers.”

He sings "Hello, I Must Be Going," a tune he sung in the Marx Brothers motion picture, HORSE FEATHERES. Dick comments on Groucho's hat. Groucho states that he is glad that Dick Cavett is back on television with a prime time show.

Dick Cavett thanks Groucho Marx for appearing on the show and mentions again the briefness of the broadcast due to a special US Open Highlights broadcast following on ABC TV.

Dick Cavett entered late night television in 1969. During the summer of 1969 he hosted a thrice-weekly prime-time series on ABC, and later that year he succeeded Joey Bishop as host of the network's late-night talk show. Cavett brought with him the announcer and bandleader who had worked with him on his earlier shows - Fred Foy, who was for decades the announcer of The Lone Ranger on radio and television, and drummer Bobby Rosengarten. This new format was another attempt by ABC to compete against NBC's highly successful Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson. Originally broadcast five nights a week. However, by January of 1973, the show was seen only one week a month as Cavett's ratings failed to dent Carson's. Jack Paar's return to late night television after an eleven year absence was similarly seen only one week a month under the new ABC series moniker, ABC's WIDE WORLD OF ENTERTAINMENT. On January 1st, 1975, The Dick Cavett Show disappeared from the network all together.    

In the fall of 1977 Cavett appeared on PBS in a half-hour talk show on which he returned to his strong talent: one - guest interviews.

Dick Cavett entered late night television in 1969. During the summer of 1969 he hosted a thrice-weekly prime-time series on ABC, and later that year he succeeded Joey Bishop as host of the network's late-night talk show. Cavett brought with him the announcer and bandleader who had worked with him on his earlier shows - Fred Foy, who was for decades the announcer of The Lone Ranger on radio and television, and drummer Bobby Rosengarten. This new format was another attempt by ABC to compete against NBC's highly successful Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson. Originally broadcast five nights a week. However, by January of 1973, the show was seen only one week a month as Cavett's ratings failed to dent Carson's. Jack Paar's return to late night television after an eleven year absence was similarly seen only one week a month under the new ABC series moniker, ABC's WIDE WORLD OF ENTERTAINMENT. On January 1st, 1975, The Dick Cavett Show disappeared from the network all together.

As Cavett sees it, it's the chemistry that counts. His forte:an articulate way with an interview, plus approaches to comedy that range from youthful innocence to the cynicism of WC.Fields.

Betty Hutton sings on stage "I Got the Sun In The Morning".  
Ann Miller, Jane Russell, Betty Hutton each discuss their careers and philosophy of life. 
At conclusion all three sing "I Got the Sun in the Morning."

NOTE: This was to be one of Betty Hutton's last TV appearances (she did make an appearance on The Merv Griffin Show February 13, 1970) prior to her 1970 mental breakdown and subsequent loss of her singing voice. And, interestingly, Hutton guested with Virginia Graham on January 27, 1972 which would be her last TV appearance until "telling all" five years later on the Mike Douglas Show. 

Betty reminisces about how she began in show business, her mother 's saloon and how she would play guitar and sing there, her four marriages, the last to husband Pete Candoli whom she divorced in 1967, however, now living happily together, but not in the same home. Betty Hutton states to David Frost what the most important principle there is ruling her life.
