- Chevy Chase (Funny Farm (1988)); Thalassa Cruso demonstrates pruning a geranium; Iditarod racer John Suter discusses competing in the race with a team of poodles.
- There is no comedy segment. John Suter completed the Alaskan Iditarod race using poodles instead of huskies. He talks about the Standard Poodles as sled dogs (they are larger than poodles commonly kept as pets) and how he got the idea. Chevy Chase talks about his former job as a head counselor at Camp Tamakwa in Ontario, teaching canoeing, tennis, and other activities. He also mentions that he didn't do a "Vacation" movie in Australia due to his fear of poisonous spiders and snakes, after Eric Idle told him about the country's funnel-web spiders. He talks about his current film "Funny Farm" and the competition with new films from Sylvester Stallone and Paul Hogan; Chase says that Stallone is unfairly criticized, in spite of the great popularity of his movies. A clip from "Funny Farm" is shown. Johnny then asks about a recent Playboy interview in which Chase was thought to be criticizing Dan Aykroyd and the women from the original "Saturday Night Live"; Chase says his comments were misinterpreted and selectively edited. Thalassa Cruso has been appearing on The Tonight Show for 20 years. She demonstrates pruning a geranium down to a single stalk so it will grow tall with a large plume. She then demonstrates transferring it to a smaller pot, and also warns against overwatering. Johnny's mistakes and rushed, clumsy technique draw her ongoing irritation. Bill Maher is scheduled to appear, but does not due to lack of time.—lenab9011
