On this ninth anniversary show, Garry
and the panel are seated in a relaxed talk show atmosphere on an empty stage,
reminiscing about past shows. Garry does
not give the dates for the clips used, but we have them all. They include:

show from January 14, 1959 (

throughout tonight’s program as a recurring gag.

relight themselves.
