9 PM Dan August (CBS did extremely well with reruns of the 1970 ABC
series, especially since Burt Reynolds' career had taken a spectacular
leap forward after his Playgirl centerfold.)
...wrong magazine -- it was Cosmopolitan. Playgirl had just begun publishing regularly with the June 1973 issue; Wikipedia says that month's centerfold was of another familiar face on CBS at the time, The Carol Burnett Show's Lyle Waggoner...
WINK Ch. 11 Ft. Myers (CBS)

10:30 Merv Griffin (Cloris Leachman, Lyle Waggoner,
Bill Daily)
...in fact, Waggoner was probably on this Merv Griffin Show to talk about the Playgirl centerfold...
 
...there was a classic gag answer on a Hollywood Squares around this time --

Peter Marshall: In his next movie, Burt Reynolds will appear without something that is clearly seen in his Cosmopolitan centerfold. What is that thing?
Rose Marie: His left arm! ;D

(the movie was The Longest Yard, in which Reynolds' mustache is shaven off as his character enters the prison)
