Television Budgets Are Pretty Thin On The Survivors, Lana Turner O.K.ed-sketches for a $3,000 dress. Then, when it was made and it came time to wear it, she didn't, like it and threw it out. Movie budgets can swallow something like that. Television budgets can't. Not without gagging.

The subject of money reminds me of Dan Dailey, who almost didn't do his new CBS series, The Governor and J.J., because he has plenty. "I had just about decided," Dan says, "to do nothing for the next 20 or 30 years except sit around my house in Malib.u, and maybe swim once' in awhile." He is able to coftsldej' alternatives like that some- years back, he a ma'ti who, became.sorfeof S-ldfiJVi 1 him7 The man was'a finSftfclai wizard and invested Dan's mo'ne'y well. This gives him a pleasant'sort of leverage. He likes to Work, but within "I'm making. the rest of says.

"They all started out very eager, NEW YORK (NEA) It was not your normal, ordinary, everyday strange sight. It was a lush redhead wearing a back, bell-bottomed jumpsuit with sequins, dancing The Popcorn on the Hollywood Freeway. It was enough to cause a rash of telephone calls' to the Los Angeles police about "the crazy redhead on a wild trip." Actually, it was only Ann- Margret. What's so odd about that? She was on the fifth and last of five days spent Popcorning all over soulhern California freeways for a spot that Will last about 60 seconds jduring4he opening of heriDe.efenlbit• "6 TV Prom Hollywood With Love, Tl are- rtb, like nidget. -I-' appear TV a year, and I do my darnedest be sure it's different.

We've Wil son Out Big Three Night Ta Ik Shows EDITOR'S NOTE: Flip Wilson If in a good position to compare the styles of Johnny Carson, the Impish boy next door; Merv Griffin, the nice guy next door; and Joey Bishop, the sensitive comic next door. Flip has been a guest on all their shows, plus just about every other talk and comedy show on the tube. Here are his summations about television's terrific talkers. NEW YORK (NEA) I'll say what I have to say about those I know least to start. If you're not confused, I'm referring to the men who run the late-night talk If I recall correctly, I was on Merv Griffin's old show twice.

I was not familiar with Merv then as a TV eprsonality, so there wasn't any real rapport between him and me. Since I was young in TV exposure at the time, a "trying" comic on for the first time. I didn't get too much attention. The host pays attention ot his No. 1 guest.

You do your thing and understand. I did my wasn't a panel 1 had complete freedom of choice in my material, which I consider a mark of respect. I can't say that I saw Merv paying any attention to any particular person, but the host of a show always depends on one or two guesls to carry the interest. That's why they are there. That's how well I know Merv.

I don't know Merv Griffin as well as I know Johnny Carson or Joey Bishop, whom don't know much better than I know Merv. A couple of years ago, I was asked to do a with Dick Cavett. I had not known of him before this time. Then 1 heard comments about how bright and witty he is. I was excited about meeting him.

He made absolutely no notes before we went on the air, which is the way I like a conversation. We immediately jelled. It was a very exciting experience and I enjoyed Dick Cavett, Next, do I talk about Johnny cr Joey? I'lltak them in that order, That solves the problem. My relationship with the Tonight show has always been a very personal thing. When I first went there for an audition, the talent co-ordinator was Bruce Cooper.

His altitude, his interests and his sense of humor, I feel, were things that made him understand what 1 was trying to do and what I was trying to do, I know, was different. I must say, I hold the record for having been bumped from the show's guest list and I'm also the highest-paid guest ever I was bumped five nights in a row. When I finally got on, they paid me for all the non-appearances as well as the appearance got for my performance. After my first appearance on Tonight on Aug. 18, 1965, and then about six more appearances, 1 was recognized by the public.

They sensed a very deej relationship between Johnny me. They figured we were practically sleeping together by this time, which Was fine, because the affection they felt for Johnny they wer.e showering on me also. Only I hadn't met lim yet. I would do my spot, walk off and leave. Once, around my seventh appearance, Johnny caught me before the show.

He said, "How you're always running? Ve been looking forward to meeting you." We established good vibes. Now I think I should bring Joey Bishop into the picture. suppose from my exposure on Tonight I was invited to be on Joey's show. Joey sent for me jefore the show. We had drinks.

We did the show. Then he asked me to his house'for dinner, and we Ayatfihed the show on the air. He was also the first one .0 invite 'me to be guest host, t'also 'have to say that I found Joey to be extremely sensitive about material. He wolud never tell me I cojildn't. do a piece, but he would tell me that he personally did care for something.

I would make the changes, based on the respect 75hat I feel should be shown to a host. I know in one piece I said I had always wanted to be a singer until I went to night rlubs and noticed that they always spit as sing, and they 'sprayed the front tables, lie was op tight abodt the word I changed it. By being on these shows so much, I feel I learned to, host a show naturally, A host should make his Every, guest''w'aiits' to be part of a £bod' show. 0 feel'I to kick off the show wit-h but after that I do not have to be funny.

Dean Martin, Lucille Ball and the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band are the guests. And that's not cheating.

The show is produced by Ann- Margret's husband, 'Roger Smith and his partner, Allan Carr. "We couldn't have done this show if I hadn't been married to the star, and she to the producer," Roger said. "We have been working on it over three and one-half months. No producer would dare to ask a star to give him that much time for a TV special if he weren't married to her."
