Summary
One in this series of music/variety programs starring Judy Garland. In this program, Garland introduces her guests through her opening number "Be My Guest" by inviting Barbra Streisand and the Smothers Brothers to join her onstage for the song. Jerry Van Dyke plays Garland's producer, who needs to save money and complains about the cost of everything on the show.
Highlights include the following: Garland sings "Just in Time"; The Smothers Brothers perform a comedy routine that begins with the song "I Talk to the Trees" from the Broadway show "Paint Your Wagon" and finishes with "Dance, Boatman, Dance"; Streisand performs "Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered" and "Down With Love"; and Streisand and Garland sing a duet of "Get Happy" and "Happy Days Are Here Again" in counterpoint.
Ethel Merman pays a surprise visit and chats with Streisand and Garland. The three talk about Streisand's role in the upcoming Broadway production of "Funny Girl," and Merman sings "There's No Business Like Show Business." After Merman's appearance, Garland sings "Howdy Neighbor," and Streisand and Garland sing a medley of show tunes including "Hooray for Love," "After You've Gone," "By Myself," "How About You?," and "It All Depends on You."
Garland concludes the show by singing a solo medley that begins with "You Made Me Love You" and includes "For Me and My Gal" and "The Trolley Song." Commercials deleted.
