I figured this out. This is circa 1972,Robert Culp was mentioning the upcoming theatrical release of HICKEY & BOGGS(of course this was before the eras of VHS,Beta and DVD video).
Hickey & Boggs is generally reviewed very positive. A gritty Peckinpah-inspired film noir written by Walter Hill it is highly sought after by fans of the genre. Alas, the only DVD version ever made (now out of print) was horribly transferred. I imagine this is something that is stuck in trust limbo after Culp's death.
0:45 -- the cards' font style harks back to 1950-1952 when the show used that style of font for occupation titles on the TV screen.
1:17 -- Smart cookie that Melba Tolliver, a New York TV news reporter. Even in syndication, the producers continued the Dorothy Kilgallen tradition of bright women journalists panelists. Sherrey Henrye also comes to mind.
JIm Backus appeared a few times on CBS WML back in 1956. The producers apparently considered replacing Fred Allen with him.
That background music is also the theme to the movie The Trouble With Angels.
