guest staring Freddie Prinze, Jane Kennedy (played Miss Alaska) and Diahann Carroll.
The Beauty Pageant skit -Geraldine Jones (Flip Wilson's alter ego) as Miss Los Angeles. Diahann Carroll plays the beauty pageant co host /announcer (Elsie Trinket)
Diahann Carroll's eccentric character's personalty and physical appearance= Elsie Trinket -Pink hair, same style , makeup, and costume=HG CAPITAL FASHION!!! -Elsie Trinket!
