 In 1954, Clayton was one of the many guest stars in a television spectacular tribute to Rodgers and Hammerstein, "The General Foods 25th Anniversary Show", which featured all the then-surviving stars (except Alfred Drake) of all the classic Broadway musicals that the team had written (1943–1954).Clayton and John Raitt, in full makeup and costume, performed "If I Loved You" (also known as the Bench Scene) from "Carousel".It was the first opportunity for millions of viewers to see a scene from the musical, since none of the film versions of the Rodgers and Hammerstein stage musicals had yet been released.
