First Christmas Show

A short Q&A, Jonathan Winters comes out and takes questions, Carol stands behind him. She tells him his show is on two nights from now. She announces the guests are Sid Caesar and Ella Fitzgerald.

Sid Caesar comes out as a professor showing Carol about self defense. She cracks up at his ad libs.

Ella Fitzgerald sings A Foggy Day and Always True To You In My Fashion.

Lyle talks about the The Jungle Book and Carol sings Bear Necessities with costumed Baloo, King Louie and Col Halthi

Carol and Sid play a married couple on Christmas night remembering a fight they had last Yuletide.

Carol and Ella sing a medley of songs like By Myself, Wild About Harry, Bill Bailey, Mack The Knife.

A ancient Rome spoof Fiddler On The Forum is next. Harvey finally appears as the Emperor, Carol is the Empress and Sid is a slave.

Best scene is the Charwoman in an abandoned Christmas tree lot and she sings Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.

Carol does not sing her theme and the guests sign her book. Vicki makes her only appearance on the show here at the end.
