Two episodes of the show were taped during (two separate) musician's strikes. In a novel move, the Jimmy Joyce singers "performed" the instrumental parts of the show, including the opening theme and the accompaniment for the musical guests. (In the second show, though, rock group Steppenwolf lip-synched to a recording of their hit "Magic Carpet Ride".)

When Pete Seeger appeared on the show, his song "Waist Deep in Big Muddy" was edited out of the telecast because of its strong anti-war message.
