Comedians appearing in this episode include Milton Berle, Phil Leeds, Mark DeCarlo, and, of course, Andy Griffith.
Milton Berle may have been repaying an old favor. Andy Griffith appeared as a guest on his show, Kraft Music Hall, 35 years earlier. The pair did a comedy sketch together, with Milton playing a psychiatrist and Andy as a cowboy. It aired on Nov. 5, 1958.
