(Friday, February 4, 1972, afternoon EST) — John Lennon and Yoko Ono taped their fifth and final appearance today as co-hosts on the prestigious Emmy award-winning WBC (Westinghouse Broadcasting Corporation) afternoon talk show The Mike Douglas Show.

On today’s show (taped at KYW-TV in Philadelphia for airing on Feb. 18, 1972), Yoko concluded her china cup reconstruction. John & Yoko also took questions from the studio audience in a segment called “Everything you’ve always wanted to know.”

John & Yoko perform an acoustic (censored) version of Luck Of The Irish. The How excerpt from the Imagine film was also aired.

Guests on the show included the comedian George Carlin, biofeedback expert Dr. Gary E. Schwarte and the New York appeals attorney Rena Uviller.

The show ended with Yoko performing a Japanese folk song and then Mike Douglas performed “Thanks To John & Yoko” for being his co-hosts for the week, to an accompaniment of a visual record of the five days by the resident Douglas photographer Michael Leshnov.
