For the desk segment, Johnny reads letters to Santa, forwarded from the New York General Post Office. Some are humorous with long lists of toys, while others are from needy children, whom Johnny points out often ask for things for relatives rather than themselves. Ann-Margret says that Christmas is the most important time of the year for her, and that she personally buys gifts for 200 friends and employees. They then talk about her tribute to Radio City Music Hall, which Johnny fears is in danger of closing. She tells how she went there when she immigrated at age 6, speaking no English. Johnny says they once offered to bring "The Tonight Show" to Radio City for a few weeks, but organizers declined, suspecting the venue was a lost cause. Ann-Margret also says she once dreamed of being a Rockette, but was a quarter inch too short; in her special, she is made an honorary Rockette. Joan Rivers does not do a stand-up routine, but tells jokes about marriage and aging during her interview. Lou Holtz, coach of the Arkansas Razorbacks, talks about college football and motivating players. He says his one year coaching with the New York Jets taught him that he was not made to coach in the professional league. Finally there is a lingerie fashion show. Johnny and Joan Rivers do most of the commentary as models demonstrate various outfits, with Ann-Margret chiming in occasionally.
