There is Jackie Gleason's opening monologue, a "Joe the Bartender" sketch about "Photos from the Past" with Frank Fontaine, who for the first time, out of his "Crazy Guggenheim" character, sings a song: "When Your Heart Has Turned To Silver" at the conclusion of the sketch. There is a 3 1/2 minute Harry Reasoner and Robert Pierpoint News bulletin interrupting the program and outlining President John F. Kennedy's plan for solving the current Cuban crisis. The Gleason Show continues with a Sue Ane Langdon "Granada" production number. A 60 second promo for the upcoming 1962 election night is heard at the end of the program.
