Carol Burnett and Harvey Korman Hilariously Portray an Overbooked Married Couple

Carol Burnett and Harvey Korman hilariously portray an overbooked married couple. The two comedy legends repeatedly try to fit one another into their busy schedules, but nothing seems to work out for them. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see them go back and forth as they try to fit the other into their jam-packed schedule.

Everyone is busy, with life constantly tugging and pulling them in 100 different directions, leaving most people feeling overbooked, overstressed and overwhelmed. There’s this meeting at this time, and that meeting is taking place then. Little Johnny has soccer practice over here, while Suzie has rehearsal over there. Oh, and at some point, everyone has to find time to eat and sleep. 

Life can often feel like an experiment to see how many events, meetings and practices you can fit into a 24-hour period. Of course, that’s not a healthy way to go about life. It is terrible for relationships. That’s why everyone needs to take some time during those busy schedules to rest and relax.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Carol and Harvey are a married couple sitting at the table together as they prepare to start their day. As they catch up, Carol suggests they enjoy lunch together. Unfortunately, that is not possible with Harvey’s full schedule. She then offers coffee in the afternoon as a potential alternative.

Sadly, coffee is a no-go for Harvey, but he mentions that he has eight minutes that are entirely free later in the day. That will not work with Carol’s schedule. The two of them go back and forth at a rapid-fire pace, with each offering a possible opening as the other just as quickly shoots it down.

There is a hilarious surprise ending to this classic skit. Carol looks at her watch and is reminded she’s needed at the hospital. She stands up and reveals that she’s pregnant. Of course, the joke is that she is so busy that she has actually had to schedule time to give birth to a baby.

Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are troubled and weighted down with care, and I will give you rest.”
