Mary plays Joanne Tale, comely widow , , , Carol Burnett's second outing was badly in need of sharp sketch material, and her interview spoof of Lucy Baines Nugent was not only badly done but also in questionable taste, Even guest-star Sid Caesar bogged down on that hour, Makes You Feel a Little Older GUESS WHO’LL BE PLAYING Jesse James in a forthcoming segment of Hondo, Rick Nelson, no less, And who do you think will be now host for ABC-TV’s Dream Girl daytimer as of Oct, 2?
