Jayne then introduces a segment with Yvette Mimieux and her mother, who speak of the times they've had.

Ed speaks of the profession held by his ancestors (plumbing), and mentioning how his father's once working as a theatre usher led to his current career, before introducing Donald O'Connor, who performs a rendition of "My Mom"

Next, Jayne introduces a segment with then-child actor Ricky Schroeder; the last image shown before the recording cuts out is an all-too-brief image of him as he looked back then.

This aired on local Chicago TV on Sunday, May 10th 1981 likely during the 9pm-10pm timeframe.
