Carol begins the show by introducing Burt Reynolds to the audience. He takes a few questions from the audience, including one starstruck girl who can’t remember what she was going to ask.

In one of the first skits, Burt performs the song “As Time Goes By.” The audience laughs as the set falls apart around him. Burt tumbles down a set of stairs but still manages to look handsome.
