Tim Conway and Harvey Korman in the famous Dentist sketch. (1969) Based on a real story from Tim, a dentist in the army actually poked himself prior to Tim getting his tooth pulled. Tim confirmed that Harvey peed himself in this sketch. 😂😂

He said when he was on Conan that he would not let the army dentist pull his tooth even though the dentist said he could do it. He was also a higher rank. So he had to stay two extra weeks in the military until it got done.

Are Conway and Korman technically considered a comedy duo? Regardless, those two together was pure gold. Tim Conway may have done most of the heavy lifting but Harvey Korman played along perfectly. The Carol Burnett Show was a classic.

I am not sure how Harvey Korman made it through some of those sketches with Tim Conway. Back when comedy was funny and no one was offended.

Epic. Miss those old, classic shows.

This sketch, the "Went with the Wind" sketch & the "Chuckles, Bites the Dust" episode from Mary Tyler Moore are three of the most hilarious, iconic moments on TV. I could barely see through the tears & could not breathe from laughing so hard. & don't even get me started on Lucy.

All comedians and serious method actors should be forced to watch all the episodes to learn how to be better at their craft. These two are immortal.

One of the most hilariously brilliant moments on the Carol Burnett Show. @imcarolburnett had the best cast.

My pet theory is that Tim did every rehearsal absolutely to script, with the rest of the cast knowing he was going to go off the deep end the minute the studio audience was there but never sure how
