It's May 29th, 1976, the host is Elliott Gould and the musical guests are Leon Redbone, Harlan Collins & Joyce Everson

It's easy to see why Elliott Gould became an early member of the vaunted five-timers club. He was an ideal host: funny, cool, hip, up for anything, blessed with great comic timing, and popular with the stoned kids that made up the show's core demographic.

Gould can even sing and dance. That's a skill he showed off on Broadway, where he met ex-wife Barbra Streisand, and it's a talent that he shows off in place of an opening monologue in both of the episodes he hosted during the show's first season.
