Here’s audio from the closing to the Monday, January 12th, 1976 episode of Happy Days on ABC:
This was a special episode that aired outside the show’s regular Tuesday time slot. Titled “The Second Anniversary Show,” this episode was a clip show. The closing credits include promotional spots for ABC News featuring Harry Reasoner and “David Frost Presents The Best,” an installment of ABC’s Monday Night Special.
Here’s a transcript:
[ABC News Promo] This is Harry Reasoner. Life has never been harder on people who don’t know what’s going on. That’s why we present regularly scheduled business and economic news with Dan Cordtz as well as regular reports on living in America. Watch for them weeknights on the ABC News and help yourself survive.
[David Frost Presents The Best Promo] Watch a Monday Night Special when David Frost Presents The Best, a salute to the best of everything with special guest Muhammad Ali. Later tonight, here on ABC.
