This unusual variety series not only gave its weekly guests the oppurtunity to perform, but offered viewers in-depth profiles of many of them. Some of the profiles were informative and serious while others looked like fluff pieces from Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous, a series that had premiered only a couple months earlier. Among the more notable notable personalities appearing were Dean Martin, Barbara Mandrell, Shelley Berman, Jackie Mason, Suzanne Somers, Neil Sedaka, Lisa Hartman, Sid Caesar, Tina Turner, Paul Anka, Diahann Carrol and David Brenner.
