Comedian, Pat Paulsen performs original folk music "The Gaslight," talks about the history of music, sings Opera. Tom (setting up the appearance of the special guest) tells Dick a story joke about a boy, his mother, a cow named "Bess" concluding with Dick refuting his brother as to Tom's assertion, "Mom Always Like You Best." Tom introduces a one-sided retelling (a spoof) of who Mom liked best favoring Dick, featuring the irrepressible Nanette Fabray, Tom and Dick Smothers.

She is invited to join her boys on stage for a brief introduction and exchange. Steppenwolf performs "Rock Me."
