Morey announces that the Silver Swan will be closing for renovations and hopes to open again after the New Year. For the last show, he and announcer Don Russell change roles, with Morey introducing Don as the show's emcee and Russell singing a chorus of Morey's popular song, "Yuk-a-Puk". Newton the waiter announces that oil has been discovered on his property and throws dollar bills into the audience, declaiming "Haircuts for Everybody" until Morey points out the importance of punctuation in a telegram. Informing Morey that his show's theme would never cut it at the Birdland jazz club, Johnny Guarnieri and his band play the show's theme Be-Bop style. Dottie Dean and Freddie Blair recreate their favorite dance number from previous shows ("It was the easiest"). The cadaverous, bug-eyed and usually mute comedian Leo Guarnini recites the nonsense poem "What Did He Say?" Blimpy Blank sings and plays the shows final musical number "All of Me". While playing his cello, Morey thanks the DuMont network and the viewing audience for their support over the past year and a half.
