May 7, 1967:  Judy's last primetime television appearance: "A Funny Thing Happened On The Way to Hollywood," an NBC-TV/Jack Paar special (her last US TV appearance was on "The Merv Griffin Show" on December 23, 1968). 

"A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Hollywood" was videotaped in color at NBC's Rockefeller Center, Studio 6B, in New York City, but only a B&W film print survives. 

Judy was escorted by Sid Luft and Tom Green.  She arrived at 6:20 p.m.; the taping started at 8 p.m. Judy is in good form but not sounding or looking very well. 

Several stories that Judy told were cut from the show:  Judy told the story of Elvis pulling up in his car only a week before the taping to say he was a big fan, but ignoring Paar who was in the car with Judy;  a "recreation" of her dance down the yellow brick road;  the time she sang "God Bless America" on stage with a model who was made up as the Statue of Liberty but was so plastered she fell flat on her face while Judy was trying to sing the song!  The special aired on May 15, 1967.
