A Tribute to Mr. Television Milton Berle with guest George Carlin (1978)
When George Carlin's career was faltering in the late seventies, he reverted back temporarily to the type of path he had been following throughout the sixties until his LSD induced breakthrough. He returned to the world of hokey variety shows and sitcoms, doing sanitized versions of the good Carlin. Although this had a bit to do with the changing tides of showbiz and the new onslaught of comedy styles brought on by the burgeoning club comic scene, a lot of it can also be chalked up to Carlin's increasing dependency on cocaine and the adverse affects it had on his process.

The Dick Cavett Show with guest Woody Allen (1969)
Woody Allen plugs his Sunday night Kraft Music Hall (and you can watch that here), a special that in later years he disowned - but even here he calls it "an hour of corny comedy."

I Love Lucy with special guest star Charles Boyer (1956)
I like the reference to Ricky being the host of Four Star Playhouse in this one.
The Name's the Same with host Robert Q. Lewis and panelists Arnold Stang and Gene Rayburn (1954)
Having posted the last clip from What's My Line, I was surprised to discover I had no Robert Q. Lewis category on the site. He's one of my favorite early TV personalities. I assumed I had posted this show before, but I guess not.
