    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.

    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.
