This is so wonderfully bizzare. The variety show was big at the time but it was always Dean Martin, the Osmonds or whoever as the ringmaster. Here the actors are playing their TV characters hosting a variety show. Tony Randall, as himself, adresses' his fellow actors as the characters and its convincing. Its a mindf*** and I'm not sure anyone else was doing a variety show in quite this way. Also you can tell Florence Henderson was working in her sweet spot. Her skill set was perfect for the variety show and I bet she loved doing those show tunes.
