The show had one of its most interesting episodes during its entire run during the summer of 1970. Raquel Welsh and Janis Joplin were his guests at the time.

Joplin then said she could not follow the plot since it “kept changing.” It was a good thing Welch kept her cool and said, “Well the whole movie is about change!” It was still a taboo topic at the time, but this did not stop the audience from bursting into laughter.
