“The moment Tim Conway opened his mouth… Harvey Korman was finished.” Tim Conway didn’t just make Harvey Korman laugh — he absolutely dismantled him. One line. One glance. One perfectly timed detour, and Harvey spiraled into that uncontrollable, can’t-keep-it-together laughter fans still rave about decades later. The sketch explodes into total chaos: the script is abandoned, the cast is gasping for air, and the audience is losing it. No filters. No do-overs. Just pure, unstoppable comedy from Tim Conway and Harvey Korman at the absolute peak of their powers.

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.

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.

 

 

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. WATCH them in action again below.

“THIS WAS THE NIGHT COMEDY STOPPED PLAYING NICE. Tim Conway walked out as “The Oldest Man” and didn’t rush a single thing. Not his steps. Not his blink. Not even the painfully slow reach for the ship’s wheel. Across the desk, Harvey Korman tried to hold it together. He failed. Quietly at first. Then completely. His head dropped. Shoulders shook. No words left. What made this moment so lethal wasn’t chaos. It was patience. Tim didn’t push harder — he simply waited longer. The room gave up before the joke did. Cast. Crew. Audience. Everyone was on edge. It wasn’t a mistake. It was timing stretched to the breaking point. But there’s more to that silence than most people ever realized… and when you see it, you’ll never look at comedy the same way again.”
