It wasn't enough for Tim Conway to make ordinary people laugh, he went after bigger prey...other comedians. Another famous outtake you should see is Mr. Tudball Needs A Secretary. Honestly, as one who has been around a while, The Carol Burnett Show was the high water mark of live television. You owe it to yourself to watch at least a few full episodes.
I was lucky to see the reruns in the 80s and 90s. I love the Carol Burnett show :) You're right about Tim Conway. I would watch the other actors in the sketch to see who broke first. I watched Mama's Family because of this show.
Carol and Tim are definitely the best. The rest of the cast is good to-but those two are extra special.
Yea, I remember that one, so funny
In the dentist sketch, Harvey Korman was the patient. Tim Conway was the dentist. He loved to make the others break character, he lived for it. I saw aninterview years ago with Harvey and Tim, and Harvey himself admitted to wetting himself in that sketch because he laughed so hard. You can tell when he did when he crossed his legs in the chair, thats when it let loose.
The Carol Burnette show was one of my all time favorite shows in the 70s.
Tim said he got the idea for the sketch from a time when he was in the army. He had to go see the dentist and in the course of treatment the dentist punched through his gum line, out his cheek and hit his own thumb with the Novocain.
OK, Mr. Lboyd. You have just struck gold, silver, platinum, and diamonds. Carol Burnett (still with us) is a multi-talented national treasure. Her show is still in reruns and there are many videos of performances from the show on YT. Tim Conway, the dentist, and Harvey Korman, patient, had an ongoing challenge to break the other up. $50 to the winner each time. According to Tim, Harvey put 3 of his kids through school. You simply must see "The Elephant Story". Absolute classic.
OK, I should have known it would be included.
absolutely agree! Love this show when I was a kid, and it's still a good one to revisit whenever I find myself in need of a guaranteed laugh! The Elephant Story is one of the best comedy skits ever!
In the 1970's, Saturday nights on CBS TV, absolute can't miss TV. Carol, Vicky and Tim just killing it. One sketch was left out, Carol with Robin Williams. She gave him a second run through on a sketch and it was pure madness (his only appearance on the show).
The funeral with Robin Williams, Anything with Tim Conway, all the bloopers was ridiculous
Such fond memories of watching The Carol Burnett Show, growing up in the 70’s. Listening to this warmed my heart & made me smile. 🥰
The dentist sketch is probably one of the best 10 minutes ever on tv.
Tim Conway is a legend.
The Carol Burnett show was the best show I ever saw on television. Mind you I’m in my late 70s but the Carol Burnett show! they did not do anything recorded. It was always before live audience so their bloopers were in real time! And breaking character with something we all look forward to! Tim Conway was the best of the best on the show! He made sure that he did Adlibs in order to break the other actors characters into laughing instead of finishing the skit. It was incredible. Tim Conway was one of the best comedians of his generation.
The Carol Burnett show is an oldie but goldie that was from the late sixties to the late seventies….this show is by far some of the funniest tv you can watch especially when Tim Conway (the dentist) was on there, that man was beyond hilarious 🤣 🤣🤣…my favorite skit of his was when he was “the worst fire fighter of all time” 🤣🤣 so def check that one out lol
I remember fondly sitting with the folks on Saturday night and watching The Carol Burnett Show. It was on in the 70s and received lots of Emmys if I remember. The highlights were always the sketches involving Tim Conway and Harvey Korman, who played, or tried to play the straightman in a lot of the sketches. It was the best of the variety shows that featured sketch comedy and singing. I'm 59 now and still can't help but laugh at some of these sketches. You can probably find a lot of the more well known sketches on CZcams. Some of the cast also had a spin off tv show called Mama's Family that was on in the 80s that was pretty good too.
He cracked them up with the elephant story in rehearsal, so the producers told him to tone it down. He went to 11 instead.
The dentist is the best skit ever, a must if you love that kind of comedy.
Tim Conway says that Harvey korman peed his pants during that skit.
Carol was adamant that the actors didn't break character. But sometimes she did it herself like in "the elephant story".
Tim was the best of the best. It was his sole purpose in life to make them break character. He was a pro at ad libs. And when Vicky Lawrence called Tim an asshole, that was highly unusual from her. She never ad libbed and that wasn't part of the skit. That's why they ALL lost their shit in the elephant story, because they were shocked she went off script.
My friend, you just found the BEST comedy show ever created!
If I remember correctly the cast would practice during the week and do the show on Saturday. They would do two shows in front of a live audience each time. The first show was done pretty much to script but the second show, that would be a live broadcast, the cast would improvise in an effort to get the others to laugh. Any thing with Tim Conway and Harvey Korman is hilarious but the full dentist sketch and the full elephant story are some of the funniest moments in TV. The Carol Burnett Show will take you back to a place in time when the whole family would sit down after supper and watch TV together and not have to worry about what the kids or Granma would see. Another really good show from that time was the Red Skelton Show. He did sketch comedy for the whole family with the criteria for the show being that if he wouldn’t show it to his Granma he didn’t do it. Interesting stand for someone who started out in the anything goes world of Vaudeville.
My grandmother and father LOVED The Carol Burnett Show. That and Hee Haw was a part of my childhood.
Best skit show ever! Tim Conway was a genius, he always tried to make them break.
This was actually a scripted show, and was rehearsed several times, including a final time filmed in front of an audience, before the actual "real" filming. But they were pros at ad-libbing and changing small bits to try and crack each other up. The filmed rehearsal and the filmed finished show were often different, which is why there are sometimes two versions of the same skit, most notably the elephant story, which is well worth checking out the full version. ETA there is a full version of the dentist skit on youtube, it is also worth checking out and maybe even doing a reaction to. This show was, IMO, the best of its kind.
This is part of the reason my generation WILL make fun of everything! I think the world would be a much better place if these old comedy shows were mandatory family viewing! Peace.
Mama's Family is how i was able to be fluent in sarcasm and insults.
Carol Burnett is the best!!!! You must know her!!! I'm from Denmark/Europe and I know her. ❤❤❤😂😂😂
The Funeral, featuring a young Robin Williams is also incredibly funny!! Great show - lots of bloopers and breaking character.
It's said that the actor in the dentist chair laughed so hard he peed himself. Lolololol 😂😂😂
The Elephant Story, the entire cast had all tried to get each other to break on a regular basis, it was a running competition between the cast and even some of their recurring guest stars were in on it too. But this day Tim had ran through rehearsal with the script as is, but when it came time to do the live show, he shocked all of them and went completely off script with that ridiculous Siamese Elephant story. They loved doing the show and they loved each other like family. Tim Conway LOVED laughing, but he LOVED making other people laugh even more 😂♥️
The Carol Burnett Show September 11, 1967, to March 29, 1978
I grew up watching this in the 1970s, absolutely hilarious 😂. Please do more, also Blazzing Saddles-the movie is great too.
Check out his movie channel. He did Blazing Saddles over on that one
Came to see if it's the elephant sketch.... was not disappointed. Love all of these! 😂 Carol Burnett Show is always comedy gold
Just my personal opinion, the "Carol Burnett Show" was the funniest show on television.
One of my favorite sketches of theirs is The Elephant Sketch featuring Tim Conway. Epically hilarious. I've seen it well over 30 times and it STILL cracks me up.
Tim Conway was the best. always cracked the cast up with his add libs they never new what and when they were coming.R.I.P Harvey Corman and Tim Conway.✌️❤️🙏🙏🙏
Carol Burnett Show is a classic!! Always hilarious!
Bro im 30 and i grew up watching the Carol Burnett show, I Love Lucy, Andy Griffith, Mama's House. all great classic comedy. All the skits on the show are hilarious. Vicki, Carol, and Lucy were and still are the best female comics ever.
I grew up watching this show each week with my family!!! We laughed so hard we'd cry!!
Mr L Boyd, please watch the entire skit named The Elephant Story!!! Quite a bit was cut out on this collaboration. It's my absolute favourite!!! 😂😂😂
The dynamic between these characters also spawned into the show "mamma's family".. both shows are worth watching the entire series.. even if it's just for yourself.
Omg This is the best comedy ever, slapstick sketch comedy is so damn funny. The Carrol Burnett Show was my absolute favorite as a kid! 🤣♥️
more of these please, I love em
Make sure to watch the complete sketches. If it’s got Tim Conway (the dentist) it’s gonna be solid. This show is classic.
Conway said he would simply depart from the rehearsal and do his own thing. The elephant story is priceless. This show was huge and Carol Burnett was/is a national treasure. Conway died a few years ago but was always hysterical. As a kid I watched the show every week with my parents and little sister. Variety shows were huge in the 70s. You should find some of Conway's Dorf sketches ... Incedibly funny man.
I miss comedies like this...Mama's Family...Golden Girls...227...These were the best!!!
The Elephant Story is Hilarious ♥️ I watched The Carol Burnett faithfully.
And you only saw PART of the Dentist sketch and PART of the Elephant story sketch. They would do a rehearsal for the show and Tim Conway would say the lines the way they were written. THEN, they would do the show LIVE for the studio audience and for the television audience. That is when Tim would make a lot of changes. So nobody knew what was coming and there was NOTHING anybody could do to stop it or him! LOL! 😊😊😉😉👱♀👱♀👗👗👠👠❤❤
Used to watch this growing up and my family loved it!
I wish old shows like this one would show up on my dash more often. I’ve been seeing little snippets of these old skit programs ever since I was really young - my aunt had quite a few VHS collections, and 1 or 2 dvd collections.
Every once in a while I’d pop into her room to say hi or tell her something, then suddenly it’s 1 hour later because I can’t stop watching all the hilarious performers. 😂
Sometimes it can be line delivery or just the ridiculousness of the writing that can make actors break character. But yes, sometimes they improvised every once in a while. From what I recall in interviews/commentary tracks, I think they encouraged people to not improvise too much because of how much it would delay everything. (But obviously it resulted in absolute hilarity so it wasn’t the worst kind of loss because people would talk about the show = free promotion!)
The Dentist is the most famous skit from the Carol Burnett show. Tim Conway could ad lib and break up the cast at any moment. He wasn't a regular for the first several seasons, but they finally realized their ratings went through the roof when they announced he'd be on. He did a character called Dorf in a stand-up style on shows like Johnny Carson's 'Tonight Show' that later (1987) translated to 'Dorf on Golf' a short film straight to video, which is still on CZcams. To me, the original was the best.
Ha! I hadn't heard that "splinters in the windmill of your mind" before. Nice Dusty Springfield reference.
Oh you *have* to see the whole The Dentist skit. It's hilarious. Although this clip showed most of it. 😂 The Elephant story is another fantastic one. There were 2 versions. The filmed rehearsal and this one.
We used to watch The Carol Burnett Show every week. It ran from 1967-1978. The skits were scripted but someone (usually Tim Conway) would often go off script and no one could keep a straight face.
Harvey Korman, the dental patient, almost pissed himself trying to keep in his laughter. I watched every episode of that show.
“Somebody blew your pilot light out and you ain’t cooking with gas.”
The howls of laughter coming from the audience is as entertaining as the sketches 🤣🤣🤣
They TRIED to make each other break character! 😂
Tim Conway and Harvey Korman are hysterically funny as under cover policemen in a park.
This show was so hilarious. Love all the actors, they had great chemistry together! ❤
The Carol Burnet show was the best show!
If I'm not mistaken that dentist was Tim Conway, and he was notorious for commiting so much to his bits that it was nearly impossible for the rest of the cast to perform without breaking character. He was playing 4D chess with the audience of the show both at the live taping and then again at home with his antics. To give context, Harvey Korman was a verteran film comic who punched in the weight class of Mel Brooks and the two often worked together. So what you are watching in that dentist office bit and the two men on the couch, are two titans of comedy trying their best to hold it together and look at the other with a straight face, all while doing some of the most ridiculous things TV had ever seen at that time. And I was so glad they showed the Elephant story bit, this was the peak of this show!
Br😅 ELEPHANT STORY absolutely hysterical and everyone falls apart at the end it's a classic
Woot here we go ...everyone is saying ebough cant wait to watch this rabbit hole with you. SWEET
My ABSOLUTE favorite sketch and cracking up scene was “the Interrogation”. It makes me laugh so hard I cry every time!
Okay, I have to comment here!
The Carol Burnett Show was one of the all time funniest comedy shows ever. It ran in the early to mid 70's. The cast did alot of crazy stuff, like licking a hand. Remember, this show was before all the crazy crap in the world now like hiv and covid. It was a much simpler time, although it didn't always feel that way at the time.
I recommend that you rent/buy/borrow all of these how's and watch them. Truthfully, I am astonished that you have never heard of the Carol Burnett Show! Make sure and watch the episode that is "Gone With The Wind" one of the best funniest skits I have ever seen!
Oh, and you gotta know, the dentist sketch is based on real life. When Tim Conway exited the military, their dentist hit himself with the novacaine, and offered to fix his tooth with the other hand, and Tim was like "Uh, I'll come back tomorrow"
Kids today just don't understand how savage old television used to be!
I watched this show every week! My favorite!
The Carol Burnett Show was a bit before my time(I was born in 85), but I’ve seen reruns, and it is always funny! Tim Conway is an absolute legend, and he’s passed on now, but he loved to get people to break
Good, clean classic humor.
I recommend the sketch "Went With the Wind." Also a series of sketches with Carol as Queen Elizabeth, Harvey as her consort Phillip, and Tim Conway as the brave "hollow soldier."
Mama is still a two woman show and doing concerts today. Tim Conway is brilliant and was a great foil for other actors. I grew up watching them.
*Tim Conway WAS/IS the KING of physical and sketch comedy.* Poor Harvey Korman was defenseless when it came to working with Tim! The Carol Burnett Show was the highlight of TV in the 70s and 80s. Vickie Lawrence, the lady who tore everyone a new one in the elephant story, went on to do her own show "Mama's Family" with guest appearances from all of her co-stars from the old show. Just do yourself a favor and watch both shows.
One of my favorite shows. Lots of laughs and great actors and singers would show up. Whether it was the hysterical skits or singing the shows were great. Once Tim Conway came into the main group....it was all over. He would purposely go off script to make his co-stars lose it. Loved your reaction. Keep up the good work 😂❤
lol yes the is ALLLLLLLL improv. Tim made it his mission in life to crack up as many of the actors as possible.
If you really want to see a good sketch is Carol bernet at a funeral where Robin Williams shows up. One of the best bits ever
The elephant story is my Favorite 🤣
I had seen reruns in the 80s of this show, while I could give or take it. I did love when they broke. Heck, live TV is great when people break.
They had so many funny sketches you need to watch the one where the soldiers being demoted and they keep trying to pull meals and things off his uniform it’s extremely funny!! Carol Burnett show used to be on that was once a week! And there were no Scripps for the sketches and then they would have guest singers… When he was doing the elephant skin man sitting on the end was Dick Van Dyke! They had way too much for making the show!! Funny reaction!!
Tim Conway was a funny man. His sketch with Harvey Corman when Tim is a old man working at a diner. The hotdog vender was Hilarious
The Carol Brunette Show. 1967-1978 before S.N.L.✌️❤️
I watched that show as a kid and it was very funny. It had a spinoff too that was good. I can’t think of the name of the show of the top of my head right now though but it was equally as funny.
They cut out half of the elephant one. You need to see the whole sketch. All of the ones of Tim Conway as the old man are also hilarious.
Mamas Family was with Vicky Lawrence. One character Mrs. Wiggins a secretary. Bob Mackie made their costumes. Wiggins had a walk she said it was because of how her skirt was constructed.
Their Gone with the Wind spoof got I think the record for longest recorded audience laughter. Gotta know the movie to get it though.
A few other classic sketches I think you’d enjoy if you haven’t seen them are
1) Abbot & Costello “Who’s on First”
2) I Love Lucy “chocolate factory” and vita-meata-vegemin”
3) WKRP in Cincinnati “Thanksgiving turkey drop”
The spoof of Sound of Music is incredible. Check out "Went With The Wind"
I'm right there with you man, if I am drowning or suffering from smoke inhalation, I hope the lifeguard or firefighter doesn't try to kiss me.
The Carol Burnett show was one of the best shows in the 70s and still today is amazing in most of the sketches. Tim Conway and Harvey Corman and Carol Burnett and Vicki Lawrence are some of the best comedians of all time. You did well on watching this. Watch the dentist skit from beginning to end. The elephant scene is legendary. Watch Mr. Tudball scenes. Watch Tim Conway and Harvey where Tim is a military officer dressing down Harvey. Watch any "old man" skit with Tim Conway especially the one with him being an old doctor coming to treat a patient. The list goes on. Watch Harvey Corman dressed as an older woman in a soap opera where Carol Burnett's character slams the door on her face as see the outcome. Comedy gold that even today is amazing.
Tim Conway never did a seuence the same way it was rehearsed and he always tried his best to get Harvey Korman to break into a laugh. And many of Carol Burnett's movements were to help her not laugh. Best comedy show eve -- live, funny, and long lastin
g joy.
In the elephant story, Vicki Lawrence was the only one not to break character. Her”are you sure the little a-hole is through?” Quip broke Carol Burnett, Tim Conway, and Dick Van Dyke all out of character
This is fall out of your chair comedy. 😂
Needed a good laugh tonight. Thank you.
Aren't these the best. They did a 1st taping and then later a second taping and that's when the actors thru in silly stuff. So fun.
I grew up with this show it's a classic they broke character all the time they would do improve so other cast members would lose it. 😂✌🏽
The characters of The Carol Burnett Show were always trying to make each other laugh. Tim Conway (the short bald one) was the best at it.
The parody on Gone With the Wind classic.
Tim Conway admitted once that he would do the rehearsals as they were written then adlib during the actual show.
Harvey korman peed himself in the dentist skit he was laughing so hard
We never missed the Carol Burnett show unless something serious happened. Tim Conway was a legend and Vicky Lawrence was almost as good. The show ran from 1967-1978.
You have GOT to watch the whole "elephant story" skit. That's Dick Van Dyke hitting the floor on the other end of the couch. And yes, what she said WAS aired.
The elephant story should be watched in its entirety, Tim Conway told the story a couple of times, and changed it up….it was brilliant each time. While it was a scripted show, the actors (Conway in particular) would go off script regularly, and tried to get the rest to break character.
You need to get some of the full videos of The Carol Burnett Show
My mom enjoyed watching this show when I was a little kid. I think I waited for afternoon cartoons that came after when I came home from school. Voltron, Transformers, G.I. Joe, etc. doesn't age well like Carol Burnett.
You will see Carol Burnett again when you get around to Better Call Saul.
In the dentist skit harvey tried to leave but he won't find another dentist on sunday
A Dog's Life, he thinks he's a dog.
They would go through dressed rehearsals during the week and Tim Conway "the Dentist" would follow the script and then change the majority of his punchlines during the live show to break the other Comedians/Actors and Actresses he does the oldest clock repair, oldest psychiatrists they are hilarious as well
The Carol Burnett Show ran from 1967 to 1978.
this are some good skits but incomplete this is where the actors break Tim was one of the funniest people I was allowed to watch .. because it was cleaner than my others I listened to ...
