Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGeorge Schlatter and Ed Friendly, producers of Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In (1967), envisioned a night of cross-promotion by having several Laugh-In regulars appear on I Dream of Jeannie, followed by Barbara Eden appearing in character as Jeannie on Laugh-In that same night. The plot of this episode is just that: Jeannie is approached by Laugh-In producer Schlatter and three regulars (Judy Carne, Arte Johnson, Gary Owens) and asked to appear on Laugh-In. While it may appear that this episode is one of those that ends without a resolution to the plot, it was in fact concluded on the Laugh-In show following the original broadcast the same night, with Barbara Eden appearing as Jeannie.

Featured review
A tie-in with LAUGH-IN, though without Rowan and Martin
"The Biggest Star in Hollywood" is the episode where the creators of Rowan and Martin's LAUGH-IN wanted Barbara Eden to appear on their show, walking down the stairs with a spotlight on her navel (even without the two hosts, we still get to see Judy Carne, Arte Johnson, Gary Owens, and producer George Schlatter). With Tony leaving for a week in Hollywood on Air Force business, sharing a room with Dr. Bellows, he forbids Jeannie to tag along, bidding goodbye to her in a salon mirror where she is spotted by Owens and Schlatter. She's convinced that stardom will be hers and agrees to do LAUGH-IN at their request, with some prodding from publicity hungry Roger, acting as Jeannie's agent, renaming her 'Princess Armena.' While Dr. Bellows tries sight seeing, Tony recognizes Jeannie and tries to put a stop to Roger's scheme. There's a great deal of running around in the hotel, but the LAUGH-IN performers get very little to do. No, Jeannie didn't do the show after all, while Judy Carne had already done a first season episode, "Is There an Extra Jeannie in the House?"
