Countdown to Christmas: Christmas with Carol Burnett (1968)

 From season 2:

Opera singers Eileen Farrell & Marilyn Horne are the showcase guests, performing in musical skits with Carol. Also, Carol plays a mousy reporter interviewing a Hugh Hefner parody (Lyle Waggoner), who suddenly morphs into.......well, that would be telling!

To explain away Bernie Kopell (Get Smart, That Girl) appearing during the show-closing Christmas medley, he'd taped a skit that was edited out of the show for time constraints, and was used two months later, but he was part of the chorus at the end of the night.
