THE SECOND TIM CONWAY OPENED HIS MOUTH… HARVEY KORMAN WAS ALREADY DONE. The moment Tim Conway delivered that line, it was over. Not loud. Not rushed. Just one innocent sentence, paired with a look and a pause so perfectly timed it hit like a trap snapping shut. Harvey Korman tried to hold it together — and failed spectacularly.

There’s never been a comedy duo like this, nor will there ever be, but thankfully the Internet has preserved it for all time, and thank God for that. Dean Martin, Flip Wilson, and Carol Burnett are all just a click away in today’s world. I feel so fortunate to have grown up watching the Carol Burnett Show. Even more fortunate that now, thanks to the Internet, I can watch it whenever I want.

Tim Conway Is Living a Dog's Life | The Carol Burnett Show

Everyone who appeared on this show was a heavy hitter and, in my eyes, comic geniuses. I still find myself laughing out loud at these sketches. Although the sets and wardrobe date the shows, the comedy still feels fresh, funny and really hits every note. I don’t think I’ll ever grow tired of watching Tim and Harvey compete to make the other break character to laugh.

 

 Nazareth desperately tried to keep a straight face but cracked within seconds, the hosts fought to hold back tears as their lips quivered and eyes watered, teetering on the edge of collapse — all while Tim’s quiet grin lit up the stage like a wildfire of hilarity. This wasn’t just a funny moment; it was a full-blown comedy earthquake that still echoes through decades. A viral sensation unlike any other, this clip reminds us that sometimes the simplest gestures spark the most explosive laughter.

Tim Conway always cracked me up McHale’s Navy, but he was at his best in comedy when he teamed up with Harvey Korman on The Carol Burnett Show. There were many, many times where both of them left my father and me laughing in stitches with tears coming out of our eyes. They were the best comic duo. Their sketches were second to none. His hilarious “Dog Sketch” is an example masterpiece.

This video you’re about to watch is one of Tim Conway’s very first appearances on The Carol Burnett show back in the 1970s. He totally must have been a dog lover. He’s got it down to a science. It is pure joy watching Harvey Korman trying, and failing, to keep it together. Those two gentlemen were as perfect a comedy duo as there’s ever been or will be.
