notes: label: Description
content: This leather-bound script is from the first episode of Phyllis Diller’s television show <i>The Beautiful Phyllis Diller Show</i> which was taped on July 16, 1968 and aired on September 15, 1968. <i>The Beautiful Phyllis Diller Show</i> aired on Sunday nights on NBC from September to December 1968. The show was a variety show where Diller participated in everything from the opening monologue to comedy sketches to musical numbers. Guests on the show included Ray Charles, Sonny & Cher, and Zsa Zsa Gabor, among others. In a similar fashion to Diller’s first show, <i>The Pruitts of Southampton</i>, Diller was unhappy with how the show was run as well as with her place in the operations, and it never managed to find success.
