• Self-identified on the air by the cast as TW3.
• Broadcast from the same NBC New York studio, long-established Jack Paar had a long running feud with this show, although his deep resentment never seemed to be explained by either show. Despite his true dislike, late in the 1964-65 season Paar had TW3 singer Nancy Ames guest star on his weekly program. Here Miss Ames sang "straight", rather than the satirical material she sang weekly on That Was The Week That Was.
• To stay as current as possible, the show was broadcast live on the East Coast with portions of scripts given to the performers just minutes before air time.
