    • Trivia
      Bob Hope's opening monologue talks mainly about the Presidential Election, which would take place in two weeks. Incumbent president Gerald Ford ran against Jimmy Carter. He also touches on the World Series, The Swine Flu epidemic, Zsa Zsa Gabor's multiple marriages, and the CB radio craze.
    • Goofs
      Big Bird does an ad-lib impersonation of Jack Benny that makes Hope laugh.
