- Johnny replays a 1968 sketch with Jack Webb. Michael Keaton (Batman Returns (1992)); Martin Short recalls his various impressions; Teri Garr talks about her career and relationship with Johnny.
- With about one week remaining before Johnny's last show, he talks about his friendship with Jack Webb, and being invited to his house to meet James Cagney. Then a clip from 1968 parodying "Dragnet" with Webb is shown. Michael Keaton talks about once being frozen speechless on stage when doing stand-up, and then about seeing himself in the advertising for "Batman Returns". He talks about going to parochial school growing up near Pittsburgh, and then the lack of attention to science in the popular media, noting his son's talent in that area. He also coaches his son's athletic teams. Martin Short talks about the first time he was on "The Tonight Show" with Bette Davis, and then about meeting people of whom he has done impressions, including Doug Henning. He also recalls his trips to Las Vegas with Paul Shaffer and his castmates from SCTV. Asked what impression he couldn't do, he tells of an awful "Saturday Night Live" sketch in which he tried to imitate Lucille Ball. He also says he had difficulty doing Paul Simon; he notes that he once got his Paul Anka impression right in only one take out of nine for a sketch, but the audience only sees the one that worked, so they thought he was better than he actually was. Teri Garr has an injured leg (her ankle is taped) but says she didn't want to miss this final appearance. She talks about the time she didn't want to appear on the show because she got a bad review which panned her singing. She and Johnny talk about their films that were not successful (his being "Looking for Love" with Connie Francis, hers being "Won Ton Ton: The Dog Who Saved Hollywood"). Asked about her personal life, she says Johnny is her longest successful relationship. Martin Short closes the show singing about Johnny, in the persona of an elderly cigar-chomping songwriter.—lenab9011
