According to the next day's New York Times, the show featured Arthur Godfrey, Faye Emerson, Sam Levenson, Ed Sulivan, Isabel Bigley, Robert Alda, Garry Moore, Durwood Kirby, the Bil Baird marionettes and the New York City Ballet. Per the Times: "Yesterday's show indicated for the first time that the facial appearances of actors in color TV are highly sensitive to lighting, particularly when the actors move around. The flesh tones varied considerably when the personalities moved their heads."
