Billy Graham is the main guest star of this "Laugh-In" ep. He doesn't appear in any of the sketches, just talks to hosts Dan Rowan & Dick Martin and some of the rest of the cast individually. Repeat cut-ins from Werner Klemperer, Tiny Tim, and some people I didn't recognize. Goldie appears with Dan & Dick to basically intro film of the show's head writer and producer Paul Keyes walking with Richard Nixon and Lyndon Johnson during Nixon's inauguration. Keyes also wrote Nixon's speeches. Executive producer and creator George Schlatter himself appears at Dick Martin's chair and desk (which Dick never uses) during Dick's "News of the Present" segment. Schlatter (a.k.a CFG) seems to be sleeping there though I did detect him laughing at some of Dick's lines. Some previous skits are shown for the last time of this season. A couple of the new cast members-Dave Madden and Chelsea Brown-will depart after this season. Dave will subsequently be a regular on "The Partridge Family" as their manager for that show's entire four-year-run. Ms. Brown will eventually move to Australia to continue her career there. I'm looking forward to Lily Tomlin's debut on the show the following season...Oh, and this time, Gladys kisses Tyrone causing his usual falling-down-on-the-ground bit!
