Johnny answers questions from the audience; prompted by one question, he does a magic trick with a cigarette. The show is all guests who had been bumped from previous scheduled appearances. Ritch Shydner, Rita Rudner, and Darryl Sivad all do stand-up comedy routines; none are interviewed by Johnny afterward. For Rudner and Sivad, it is their first actual appearance on "The Tonight Show"; Shydner had appeared before. Fred Roggin is a local sportscaster who was supposed to show funny clips, but due to lack of time he just comes out and chats briefly about the Olympics. Johnny then has all the guests come out for a brief congratulatory chat.
