It's interesting to note that the Beatles had first appeared in the U.S. on TV only one week earlier—and they had not yet been to Australia—but still their presence is felt in this show.

Note on Johnny O'Keefe: After Johnny O'Keefe had his first nervous breakdown, the "Johnny O'Keefe Show" was retitled to "Sing Sing Sing" and given a new host (Lionel Long). After a year, JO'K returned to the show but producers kept the "Sing Sing Sing" title just in case.
