The Polly Bergen Show

Polly and Jack read from his collection of on-air flubs, "Jack Paar's book of broadcasting boo-boos", then both sing and dance the rock and roll song "Short Shorts". Jack brings out three Bassett hounds purporting to be an act called "The Singing Dogs", but no matter how much he begs and pleads, he can't get them to utter a sound.

Polly Bergen brings her signature blend of music and comedy in this lively episode. She kicks things off with a captivating song performance, followed by a humorous segment where she and Jack Paar poke fun at radio and TV announcer blunders. The duo then delivers a playful, poetic take on the hit song "Short Shorts." Later, Paar attempts to lead three dogs in a chaotic musical sketch. The episode wraps with Bergen promoting her new Columbia Records album, The Party’s Over.

Johnny Carson does a few small magic tricks, showing his medal from a magician's club, then he joins Polly in a take off on the upcoming Academy awards, the "Carson-Bergen awards for old movies" that are already on television. Johnny does some impersonations, imagining what a pairing of feuding stars Ed Sullivan and Steve Allen might be like.
