And tenor banjo. But Lucie Arnaz is the real star of the show here. Oodles of energy!

Of course this is a song no longer performed, composed in 1912 as a throwback to minstrelsy. A transcription of the lyrics on a university of Mississippi site are followed by a content disclaimer.
Exuberant performance but not really sure anyone on stage is actually playing banjo especially Lucille. I have a feeling the real strummers are backstage behind the curtains and probably not playing Kay banjos.

I didn’t listen, I just saw this on my YouTube feed with the sound turned off. I could tell they weren’t playing and it was all show biz, just struck me as funny visuals.

You don't have to be unsure. Lucy's Harmony tenor doesn't have a bridge and all of the banjos appear to have a block of felt stuck to the top of the banjo instead of a bridge. Lucy Arnez appears to have lost her felt bridge during the song. If they did have strings none of them would have made any noise and I'm assuming that was the goal.
