    Tim Conway ad-libbed the whole story. He was brilliant.
  • @vanessajazp6341
    Vicki Lawrence turns out the best line in the history of live television. This will never be topped.
  • There will never be another Comedy Show like the Carol Burnett Show.. those days are long gone and what a shame..
  • Tim Conways patience and timing is something that can’t be taught. You either have this as a comedian or not. He was a genius. He just waited and waited to deliver each hilarious line after line.
  • @nja3224
    Tim knew when he had them. He'd pause for effect and watched them try to settle down, then he'd hit them with the next line. The man is a legend.

    4:17 Eunice, "Go on Mama." Mama, "You sure that little a-hole's through?" BEST REPLY EVER!
  • @user-qy3ml6bv1d
    Who HASN'T watched this over and over!? It's a classic, and it never gets old!
  • More talent on that couch than the entire cable lineup for the last 30 years.
  • @candacecook4102
    It’s 2023 and this is the 4725th time I’ve seen this, and it’s just as funny every single time! 😂😂
  • And Vicki Lawrence held it together better than any of them. An underrated talent!
  • @QuinnF97
    Tim Conway never receiving a Mark Twain Prize for American Humour before his passing is an insult to the very art form for which the Prize was established in the first place.
  • @BarryH1701
    Tim Conway and Harvey Korman - the greatest comedy duo of all time. Who is with me on this?
  • @Tiffany-bh7zc
    These skits are far better than the ones on SNL will ever be.

    A dear friend of mine was rehearsed pianist on Carol’s show. He was in the control booth that night and said he practically did bodily harm from laughing. Golden moments

    It's 2021 and this is still funnier than anything else on TV.
  • @markmarsh27
    Tim Conway was MERCILESS. Half the fun of The Carol Burnett Show was watching him make the other actors bust their guts. He's the best sketch comic of ALL TIME.
  • @crazylegskc
    You can tell Carol is loving it as much as the audience is. She had many chances to start the dialogue again and get on with the sketch, but she just let Tim keep doing his thing, knowing he was spouting out comedy gold. This cast worked so great together! 😂😂😂

    Unfortunately, this type of comedy and improv is lost, never to return. Every time I watch this, it's like I'm watching for the first time. Tim Conway is truly a master at the art of comedy.
