The show opened with a performance of "Nowhere to Run" by Martha and the Vandellas, filmed at a Mustang assembly line at the Ford River Rouge Plant in Detroit.

Fred Gwynne makes a guest appearance as Herman Munster, his character from CBS's The Munsters, as Cannibal & the Headhunters mime their hit "Land Of 1000 Dances".

An illegal bootleg version was released by Lady Goose Productions in 2007 as a DVD titled Murray the K & His 1965 Show of Shows. An official DVD release of the restored program, with more than an hour of new interviews with the performers, was issued by TJL Productions in March 2021; however, it lacks Murray the K's public-announcement segments.
