Special guest: Tennessee Ernie Ford.
No one bothered to tell Jack that his guest, Tennessee Ernie Ford, would be appearing via live remote from his farm in Lakeport, California. The two chat about farming and Ernie sings “John Henry” at his barn before the picture goes black. When the picture comes back, it’s an attractive woman; Ernie says it’s one of his “pea pickers”. Ford also displays the square egg he’s developed. The technology goes haywire when they attempt a split-screen fiddle duet of “Sweet Georgia Brown“. Finally, things go berserk and Jack ends up in Ernie’s barn and Ernie on Jack’s studio stage. Don does the State Farm commercial with a man on a pogo stick.
