I think Sammy Davis Jr. would have been a likelihood, seeing as he was making tons of TV guest appearances at the time.

Any I'm missing? Anybody someone would have wanted to see on the show? Dave Beukema once told me he would have liked to see Carole King on the show (and I quite agree with him). I think the Carpenters, Red Skelton, and Sid Caesar would've been good, too.

But, of course we can always start another thread for this sort of discussion. Just wanted to throw out some who were possibilities.
