Carter acknowledged the rapport by throwing Wayne a highball salute. For their second appearance together in 17 years, Mike Nichols and Elaine May did a routine about the first Jewish President. Phoned by his mother and scolded for not having called her, "President" Nichols pleads: "Mother, I was choosing a Cabinet. I didn't have a second." Retorts "Mother" May: "It's always something."
