- Johnny presents updated nursery rhymes. Ron Silver (Enemies, A Love Story (1989)); Hall of Famer Art Donovan talks about changes in the NFL since his playing days; Joan Embery presents wild animals.
- The comedy segment is updated nursery rhymes, in accordance with the book "Equal Rhymes Amendment". Joan Embery first brings out a Canada lynx, which seems somewhat inactive due to the studio environment, then a pair of chameleons from Kenya and Madagascar. She demonstrates the length of its tongue by feeding one a cockroach, to the audience's roaring approval; further attempts to get either one to eat another are unsuccessful. Next is a female cuscus (a marsupial from New Guinea), which happily eats a pineapple slice from Johnny and climbs over Embery. Art Donovan, retired football player, is the next guest. He says he has lost 45 pounds in the last three years, down to 295; his playing weight was 275. When Johnny comments on his old nickname "Fatso", he says he's always been heavy, from when he weighed 17 pounds at birth. He says that he watches certain teams that he likes - mainly those coached by his old teammates Don Shula and Raymond Berry - and talks about how the game has changed, both in play and officiating. He was told to play just two weeks after breaking his leg, due to a lack of available players - his coach told him to fall down when the ball was snapped, and maybe someone would trip over him. He tells various other stories from his playing days, about players including Bobby Layne, Norm Van Brocklin and Bill Pellington. He also bemoans the prevalence of foreign-born place kickers. Ron Silver makes his first appearance on the show, and recalls that he actually played a foreign-born place kicker in the movie "Semi-Tough". He then talks about his film "Enemies: A Love Story". He has been married for 14 years, and discusses at length how he and his wife handle his doing love scenes. A clip from the film featuring Anjelica Huston is shown.—lenab9011
