During a segment featuring guest Daryl Somers, Kennedy said that he'd let it be known that Somers would make a suitable replacement host "... should I be on my way". In the first commercial break, Kennedy addressed the opening comments off-air with the studio audience, wondering if the network would cut the remarks, and stating that if they did, he would repeat them live on "This Day Tonight". He made the same threat on-air during the "wheel" segment later in the episode, with he and Bert Newton both effectively repeating the opening remarks. Kennedy also remarked that McClelland was "...not all that literate", and that "... he has to go".
