The color telecast was taped in New York and was sponsored by Westinghouse.
Steve Allen introduces Betsy Palmer as starring in "Cactus Flower" on Broadway.
Bagpipe jazz musician Rufus Harley released two albums on Atlantic and performs with his Jazz combo on the show. Fittingly, the background is a tartan plaid.
Earlier in the evening, CBS broadcast "Lucy Flies To London" (S5;E6) which was "The Lucy Show's" set-up for the following week's location-filmed special "Lucy in London."
The show gives 100 studio audience members voting buttons to express their opinions about the new Carnaby Street fashions. Three models come out, while Lucy describes their outfits. Despite the show being broadcast in color, Lucy still describes the vivid colors of the clothing, aware that not all home viewers will be watching on a color television.
