There has never been a comedy duo quite like Tim Conway and Harvey Korman — and honestly, I doubt there ever will be. Thankfully, the Internet has preserved their brilliance for generations to come. Today, shows with legends like Dean Martin, Flip Wilson, and Carol Burnett are just a click away, and I feel lucky to be able to revisit them anytime.
Growing up watching The Carol Burnett Show was a gift, and revisiting it now is like rediscovering it all over again. Every guest, every sketch — it’s packed with talent, timing, and sheer comic genius. The sets and costumes may feel dated, but the humor? It’s timeless. Every performance still lands perfectly, and the battles between Conway and Korman to make each other crack never fail to delight.
Tim Conway was already a laugh machine on McHale’s Navy, but his partnership with Harvey Korman on The Carol Burnett Show was truly next-level. So many sketches had my dad and me doubled over in laughter, tears streaming down our faces. They were the ultimate comic pairing, and their sketches remain unmatched. Classics like Conway’s “Dog Sketch” are proof of their genius — perfectly crafted chaos that somehow looks effortless.
The video you’re about to watch captures one of Tim Conway’s earliest appearances on the show in the 1970s. His love for dogs shines through, and his timing is impeccable. Meanwhile, Harvey Korman struggles — and fails — to keep a straight face, which only makes the sketch funnier. Watching these two in action is pure joy, a masterclass in comedy that still entertains and inspires decades later.
Take a moment, hit play, and watch a perfect comedy duo at work. Tim and Harvey at their absolute best — and it’s just as funny today as it was back then.
