This is the un-aired pilot version that sold the show. John Guedel introduces Jack Douglas, who introduces the program. Contains great footage of Los Angeles in the early 1960s. At the end are "scenes from future shows", in which we see, among others, Arlene Dahl.

JOHN GUEDEL- the man behind "PEOPLE ARE FUNNY", "ART LINKLETTER'S HOUSE PARTY" and "YOU BET YOUR LIFE". In a 1946 movie based on "People Are Funny", Philip Reed impersonated him on screen.
