- Johnny reads a news clipping about the introduction of edible underwear. He then reads another newspaper article listing signs that you're about to lose your job, which leads into a humorous list of various signals that were omitted. Maude Tull appears on her 104th birthday, after Johnny had her as a guest nearly a year earlier. She talks about the nuisance of renewing her driver's license again; she keeps her electric car's battery only half-charged to foil potential thieves. She says she still goes to work every day at a mortgage company. Noting her fondness for them, Johnny presents her with several pies. She also talks about her daily activities and eating habits, and about getting along with people of different ages. She says she learned at a young age to keep busy to avoid unhappiness in later years, and talks about playing cards and learning to swim at age 85. After she departs, Johnny notes that she is around for the bicentennial after having been born before the American centennial. Raymond Burr talks about his new TV movie "Mallory: Circumstantial Evidence", which may become a series; he says he has other TV movies coming up with similar potential. A clip, with Robert Loggia, from the new movie is shown; Johnny notes his white hair for the role, and Burr recalls movies he's done with a similar look. He then talks about his plantation in Fiji, which he visits twice a year. He comments on his former series "Perry Mason" and "Ironside", noting their long runs of nine and eight years. He comments on again playing a lawyer, and he and Johnny recall instances when they had to testify in court; he recalls losing three cases in 300 "Perry Mason" episodes. He also talks about timing a scene when acting, and describes an "Ironside" episode in which he did a flashback scene out of the wheelchair, and had a hard time re-adjusting. Robert Klein does a stand-up routine, and then is interviewed; he discusses the excess of bicentennial celebrations and promotions, and then talks about wanting a different national anthem. Tom Burnam, an English professor at Portland State, talks about his book "The Dictionary of Misinformation", which covers popular misconceptions about various topics. He discusses Betsy Ross, Paul Revere and Horace Greeley, and the Declaration of Independence, then comments on aphrodisiacs and other subjects.
