Julian McMahon (Nip/Tuck) and legendary comedienne Joan Rivers join Graham to dish on the Oscars and cosmetic surgery.

In the "What are you up to tonight- segment, Graham and his guests visit (via remote telecast) with the very brave Elliott as he undergoes having his rather hairy back waxed. Graham eggs him into more, which Elliott finds most painful.

Later in the show, Joan puts her product pitch-person skills (honed on QVC) on display as she 'pitches' odd items such as a Britney Spears hair clipping kit and George W Bush's cowboy boots. Yes, Joan Rivers can sell anything.
