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.
This peerless audio air check archived in the ATA collection was recorded direct line at the time of the original broadcast.
