Not really a TV appearance but too good to miss out on reporting! Olivia performs with legendary guitarist Les Paul during his weekly gig at Iridium Jazz Club in New York City, aged 92.
Olivia had gone just to listen to the music whilst she was in town with the Broadway production of Xanadu. Olivia was called up on stage to sing with Les Paul by his band. It's unclear whether Les Paul knew of Olivia or not, Olivia knew him though saying You're a legend. My band would be so jealous I'm meeting you.

After some deliberation they decide to perform Somewhere Over The Rainbow. Two professionals: Les Paul taking his cue from Olivia as the singer and Olivia doing a lovely rendition despite warning Wish me luck guys, I've had a vodka!
