According to a November 1968 New York Times article, this episode was cancelled due to the AFTRA musicians' union strike. (With a re-run aired in its place.) However, a few Beatles websites mention that a clip from the Beatles' movie ""Yellow Submarine"" was shown on this date. The scheduled guests for this week were Connie Francis; Alan King; George Hamilton; Stiller & Meara; Peter Gennaro and The Antonettes (a teeterboard act).
