Hard to say what was funnier: the story itself or the reactions of the other performers trying to stay in character and not bust up. The latter alone made it worthwhile to watch the Carol Burnett Show, especially in the scenes with Harvey Korman.

This one, and the Dentist, are the two funniest bits Conway did for Carol Burnett. Classics. Both.

Rest in Peace, sir. You made millions laugh, even for just a moment.

LOL, like the old "Debbie Downer" skits on SNL, they would crack up all the time.

Tim Conway said Harvey Korman literally wet himself during the dentist sketch.

That’s a great skit.

Here is one that is a real hoot as well...The Star Trek parody.

The funniest 5 minutes in broadcast history. Priceless humor!

One of the best Star Trek parodies ever made.

Who was Spock?

No idea, must have come from central casting as likely did the Uhura guy...who was extremely funny!

Carol was BIG on giving unknowns a leg up...a really nice person!

The guy has been in a few other CB skits.

A reverse Uhura was funny.

One other thing I liked about Carol was the talking to the audience at the beginning of a show.

That wouldn’t happen now.

Hilarious!!

Had not seen that one.

Excellent.

I always remember The Dentist skit. This one is right up there with that skit.

Thanks for posting.
