Musical Guest: American Canadian Rock Band, Steppenwolf, performs "Magic Carpet Ride." Miss Nanette Fabray performs a musical comedy parody of "What Now My Love" - assisted by Tom Smothers. (The original song was composed in French by Gilbert Becaud with lyrics by Pierre Delanoe ; Carl Sigman provided the English translation.) 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. Dick counters Tom's tale with irrefutable evidence he believes Ruth Remick Smothers (Tom and Dick Smothers mother) in the studio audience will provide. She is invited to join her boys on stage for a brief introduction and exchange. Steppenwolf performs "Rock Me." Tom Smothers, Dick Smothers, Pat Paulsen, Bob Einstein, Nanette Fabray provide a series of spoofs of Lovin' Spoonful's "Did You Ever Have to Make Up Your Mind?"
