The Carol Burnett Show Stars Revisit The Skits That Had Everyone in Stitches

Several stars from The Carol Burnett Show revisited the skits that had everyone in stitches. They recalled their time on the beloved television program and shared stories about some of those hysterical, iconic skits that had the studio audience and often the cast bursting into laughter. Watch the clip to hear about one of the funniest television shows of all time from its cast and crew.

It's often said that comedy is more challenging to do than drama. There are a lot more dramatic actors than there are stand-up comedians. Of course, that's because everyone has a different sense of humor. What I find funny may not tickle your funny bone, and vice versa.

However, those differences do not apply to The Carol Burnett Show. Anyone who watches one of the program's legendary skits will likely be doubled over in laughter. Amazingly, a skit from The Carol Burnett Show will have you laughing from the beginning to the end. And it did so without the use of language and vulgarity. It was all because of its hysterical, top-of-the-line writing and the legendary cast.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Carol, Tim Conway, Vicki Lawrence and others reflect on the show, sharing memories of their time working together and why they believe made the show so great. They also mention those memorable crack-ups during skits and how and why Tim was so often able to make those around him break character.

"None of us knew what Tim was going to do," Carol said. "So, he would wind up doing some shtick that had never been done in rehearsal before or on the previous show. And inevitably, the sketch would run, maybe four minutes long, you know, over. And so, what we would do would be to cut down on something else or save another sketch for another week because what Tim would come up with was gold."

Later in the clip, the iconic dentist skit, in which Tim is a nervous, first-time dentist preparing to work on his patient, played by Harvey Korman. It's revealed that Tim came up with the Novocain bit on the spot.

The Carol Burnett Show is a program that continues to keep audiences rolling with laughter. It will always be funny watching Harvey and the rest of the cast struggle to keep it together while Tim or someone else does something crazy and off-the-wall.
