Synopsis
Another tenth-season episode with a versatile guest star, this show spotlights the many talents of Ben Vereen, who, like Carol Burnett, has starred in Broadway musicals (Pippin and Jesus Christ Superstar), films (Sweet Charity and Funny Lady) and TV programs (teamed with Jeff Goldblum on ABC's Tenspeed and Brown Shoe). Vereen introduces his family during Carol's opening question-and-answer session with the audience, then sings and dances his way through the delightful "If you Believe" fantasy number. He displays his knack for comedy playing a divorce lawyer being courted by a bickering couple (Harvey KIorman and Carol) in a restaurant, returning for the finale, a selection of tunes by Harold Arlen (including "Common Get Happy," "Off to See the Wizard," "That Old Black Magic," "Wish Upon a Star" and "I Love a Parade").
