The show's set was a Dean Martin tribute. On the wall were pictures of her dog, Charlie, and more of her family. The guests used many entrances such as the door, the stairs, or the fireman's pole. Bonnie had never gone down the fireman's pole nor the stairs. Instead Bonnie entered through an entrance near her desk. The Bonnie Hunt Show
