    Tim Conway was always so funny.  I laugh and laugh every time I watch Carol Burnett show and he's on there.  The interaction between him and Harvey Korman!     Thanks for the reminder to watch it again.

    Wasn't he the one who played Dorf?  One of my friends liked Dorf so much that he rearranged the letters on the front of his Ford van.  Funny guy.

    That elephant one is a favorite that breaks me out in laughter every time I see it . . . the other one that I find hilarious laugh out loud over and over again, is  Tim Conway and Harvey Korman in the "Dentist" routine with Korman as the patient and Conway as the hapless dentist with issues. 

    If one looks it up, be sure you choose the longest video as some offerings are shorter and not the full sketch.

    Such great comedy from great minds with great timing; amazing work.  Wonder if we will ever see the likes again.

    It has been awhile since I have seen the "elephant" sketch; I will look that up tonight and give myself a laughter gift.

    Thanks for reminding us and for those who have not seen it, well worth looking it up.

    Yep. I was thinking "The dentist" and "Scarlett O'Hara". I guess if you had a TV, Carole Burnett and I Love Lucy were two you didn't miss.

    For a few years Tim Conway and Harvey Korman performed together. My husband and I were fortunate to get tickets when their act was nearby. Our sides hurt from laughing at the end of the show.
