- Johnny presents shoppers' rights. Mel Brooks (Young Frankenstein (1974)); Susan Blakely (Report to the Commissioner (1975)); Bob Rosefsky ("The Money Book").
- For the comedy segment, Johnny describes new consumer rights. Mel Brooks first has some friendly chit-chat with Johnny, and then talks about his current movie "Young Frankenstein", explaining that it is a tribute to James Whale, the director of the classic Frankenstein movies. He also raves about Gene Wilder; outtakes from the film featuring Wilder breaking into laughter are shown. Brooks then talks about his early days as a comic in the Catskills and then working with Sid Caesar. He also tells how he interrupted a meeting back then to surprise RCA head General David Sarnoff, which Sarnoff recalled in their next meeting a few years later. Then there is a discussion of what makes something funny. Brooks also talks about the new soundtrack album for "Young Frankenstein", which features music and dialogue. Finally he tells how he played practical jokes on one of the other "Your Show of Shows" staffers. Susan Blakely talks about her career, and Johnny compliments her performance in "Report to the Commissioner"; Brooks adds his own questions to the interview, and Blakely talks about growing up in Germany as the daughter of an Army officer, and about her experiences doing hundreds of commercials, including a mishap in a motorcycle ad. Blakely talks about being married to a writer - Brooks finds it amusing that her husband has a name like Todd despite being Jewish. He also recalls being a guest on Johnny's first show in 1962. Bob Rosefsky is the author of "The Money Book". He talks about the recent legalization of gold investment, and compliments the American public for not rushing to buy it. He then comments on scams aimed at the unemployed such as training to be a truck driver. He also says the stock market is a speculative arena, not an investment, and uses a fictional company to describe the potentials hazards in investing. Again, Brooks has his own questions during the interview. Rosefsky recommends fixed income securities for most people. Holly Lipton does not appear due to lack of time.—lenab9011
