Renee Stuedemann as 1972 Miss Iowa is a great majorette.

I would guess that the pre-parade show on NBC was co-hosted by Joe Garagiola and Phyllis George [a year after she was Miss America, but just 3 years before going to CBS for "NFL Today"], while the main part of the parade was co-hosted by "Bonanza's" Lorne Greene and the very legendary Betty White; the two had been co-hosting the Macy*s parade since about the mid-1960's or so on NBC. (Now if only Rick would dig up some Rose Parade clips.)

Aw, it's too bad that "Bonanza's" very own Lorne Greene and his longtime co-hostess & best friend Betty White's final swan song as the hosts of "The 1972 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade" in New York City, New York State. It's also their final appearance, to actually say the very least. That brings back many memories as well. Later that very same year, the Donald Duck balloon also retired as well. Twelve years later, he made a temporary comeback in order to celebrate his golden jubilee. God bless you.

I had one of those 65 in 1 electronic kits. I enjoyed it and learned a ton. One of the best “toys” ever.

I played in the Northwestern HS Marching Band from Hyattsville, MD at this parade in 1972. We were the Santa Claus escort bad...just in front of Santa's float until we arrived at Macy's, when we split to either side of the Avenue to let him pass through. Alas, there doesn't seem to be a bit of footage showing our band. I've been searching for years. If anyone knows of any I'd love to hear about it. It was one of the coldest Macy's parades in history. Don't know what the wind chill was...they hadn't invented it yet!

My aunt marched in the 1972 Macy's Thanksgiving Parade with Western HS of Anaheim CA. I, too, am looking for a video of the entire parade from that year. 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

Rod was a "ham"- and he didn't mind using his legendary voice and delivery for "profit" over the years. He was paid well for his efforts.....

Younger & sexier gymnast Kathy Rigby did her routine on the balance beam. It was too bad that she and her fellow teammates didn't win the gold, silver or bronze medals for team USA at the summer olympic games in Munich, West Germany.

The drum corps at 11:31 is the legendary Caballeros from Hawthorne, NJ! I had no idea the Cabs were ever in the Macy's parade! 🎉😎🥁

It looks like Macy's was open during the parade. Maybe it wasn't on Thanksgiving day back in those days(?)

It's obvious Phyllis George was not hired for her interviewing skills. Could she have asked that little girl one question that didn't allow for a 1 word answer? Kudos to Cathy Rigby for her performance in that weather. And you would think the playgrounds were placed in a dump with all that trash in the McD's commercial. Got to love the 70's anti-polluting ads.

And as for Minnie Mouse herself, she needs a wardrobe makeover. In other words: she'll be forced to trade in her ridiculous-looking flower pot hat and a frilly skirt for a yellow mini-dress and an extremely beautiful & oversized hairbow in order to become more beautiful for herself. I think.
