George Washington is the roastee in a whimsical salute to the first President. Audrey Meadows appears as his wife Martha, Steve Lawrence as his Groucho Marx-like aide-de-camp, and Foster Brooks as his press secretary. Others seated on the dais include Dick Martin, Euell Gibbons, Corbett Monica, Nipsey Russell, Henny Youngman, Jack Carter and Leonard Barr. Dean sings "For the Good Times" and "Lay Some Happiness on Me." Les Brown conducts the orchestra.
Special: Michael Landon is sizzled on a verbal spit by host Dean Martin, Amanda Blake, Ernest Borgnine, Sid Caesar, Phyllis Diller, Euell Gibbons, Guy Marks, Jan Murray, Don Rickles, Cliff Robertson and Landon's former "Bonanza" costars Lorne Greene and Victor Sen Yung. Taped in the Celebrity Room of the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas.
