The Carol Burnett show personified one of the reasons television was invented: To bring people together, laugh after a hard day and lighten up over some of the heavier aspects of life.
Carol's jeans are absolutely gorgeous in this sketch, I loved the ending. I felt sorry for Gary and his Mother constantly calling, so what Harvey Kormans character did was very deserving to her. God Bless You.
Robbie Hagberg I think you right about that I appreciate you and I can go with it tomorrow if you want it tomorrow and let me know if you need anything else and I'll be there anywher you want me t you up and I can get a new you you can get a new one for you and
It's so cool, that all these years later, this show stands the test of time. I love all of these people so much, and I have gratitude that I was able to see these again.
Ms. Burnett if you should see my comment, I wanted to first of all thank you for your awesome style of humor and it was just so natural the way it came from such a place that wasn't forced....it was allowed to happen and be creative on your own terms. Me and my family sat around and always watched every episode back in the 1970's. When I had the Chicken Pox and when we moved to a newer home in 1977, I could ALWAYS watch YOUR show and it always took me out of the blues....and thankfully when you came up with this channel on here, I am able to re-live and enjoys the great honest belly laughs you and your cast brought and still bring me again. Now thankfully you have millions of new fans that can appreciate true and authentic comedy without a bunch of F bombs and degrade women. You rose above all of that. I have overstayed my welcome, but if you really see this, it is important for you to know how I feel about you as an entertainer and as a good and decent human being. May GOD continue to bless you, Ms. Carol Burnett!!!
Working as a page at CBS in the 70's and working the Carol Burnett show, i can guarantee that the ending was not in the script. Harvey improvised the end. He and Tim Conway are comic genuises
I guess that's why Harvey Korman never held it against Tim Conway for breaking him up with his ad-libs. Evidently, ol' Harvey was pretty good at doing the same thing to Carol Burnett!
Thanks for sharing that. My Dad had a maintenance contract with the local CBS TV Station. Other people worked for him. He went on there one day and they said Danny Burgess the weather guy was stark naked in the studio! They all believed it and ran over. My father came home laughing so hard about it he could barely tell us what happened 🤣😅😆 Dad loved watching Carol Burnett! That was our Friday special but when I started working at a restaurant my senior year, I had to go to work. I missed a lot of episodes - then had two months bedridden in the hospital to watch them a year after that. I was hit head on by a 20 ton sander truck. My father was the one who wanted me to live the most. My mother signed off on a lawsuit when I was in ICU. And "prayed she'd die" she told people. OMG, my mother was okay at church because they understood and helped support her positively. But she got pretty nasty at the town we moved to. I was in ICU 2 1/2 weeks and a month in isolation, with limited visitors because my head hurt so much and everyone had to whisper. Attorney Kendall just had to screw me over while I was in bad shape, having me sign papers when I didn't know what the hell I was signing. He later said (6 months later) he just couldn't understand why I didn't die. He also chastised me when the driver at the pretrial hearing laughed! I snapped at him and said, "You almost murdered me!" The attorney Aldo asked me why I didn't get out of his way, it was a sunny day out! I said, he was plugging on a double shift - on a sunny day - WITH A SPOTTER - and you ask ME why I didnt get out of the way when he went in my lane going the opposite direction and almost killed me? That was one sympathy card I didn't mail when he died. He had no intention of helping me but was so powerful no other attorney would take my case and he resented me sniffing around for one. His brother Donald paid a hit man to kill the President of Chile because he wouldn't sell Pepsi in his country. My father told me, as a secret because my siblings were blabbermouths and if it leaked, my father would be in danger because of organized crime. The Captain (who I think deliberately sank) of The Empress of Ireland on the St Lawrence River - caused over 1,000 deaths. His name was CPT Kendall - and Bruce Ismay and JP Morgan knew how to profit in loads of dough from sinking Titanic. A good video to watch is: "The Spider's Web: Britain's Second Empire" They created the Federal Reserve Bank with a portion of that money. And obviously funded the NAZIS. Just sayin- decide for yourself.
I am SOOOOOO glad I stumbled upon this channel. I needed to laugh again. Amidst all the craziness & chaotic life that exists today, a few moments of escape sure is refreshing. I miss the good ole days when life was more simple & more kind. Thank you Carol & Company for making generations laugh & continuing to do so today. I needed you in my world at this moment in time. Thank you For existing ! GOD BLESS YOUR, OH SO TALENTED SELF, CAROL & YOUR CREATIVE CAST. You all are a GOD send to me. 💝 😘
Love it when they went off script and got laughs from one another. There is no way that was the intended ending; Carol was surprised by that toothbrush bit and her reaction was beautiful and genuine.
@@Lucylou7070 I wouldn't say she doesn't get credit; as much as I despised the "Eunice" skits, there's no denying that Thelma "Mama" Harper is an iconic character.
Lita 631 Same here. I feel safe when I’m at home in my apartment and then I think about going back to work at the grocery store in the morning and being exposed again. And I’m an asthmatic and I’m so scared this virus is like Russian roulette you never know who’s going to get it and if they’re going to live through it I’m just praying really hard constantly
@@texasgina ....Always looking at people thinking if they are sick and trying to avoid them. Never in a million years would you expect to be living through this.
I'm old enough to remember the Carol and Chris sketches as they aired. Eunice Ed and Mama was a major shock for me at the time. Why were they forcing pretty Vicki Lawrence into dressing like a dried up old bag? Anyway, I got over it soon and I love "The Family" as much as anything else on the show.
The fashions, the bell bottoms on Carol Burnett and crisie are priceless. I looooove those pants and Harvey's wide orange tie. I want BELL BOTTOMS!!! 🛎 🏃 M. IL.
I'd welcome Lawrence Welk and Kojak these days, television is such crap, I cancelled my cable subscription and got a Fire Stick. I watch everything on demand these days - and most of it's old, too.
Can I just say I adore Roger's suit? It fits like a glove! Those typical 1970s tan, grey, brown and patterned suits made a right fit essential. I mean, you could see every outline in those. In contrast, today's predominantly charcoal and navy blue suits can hide a lot of imperfections. And most people wearing them just go with it.
Sheala Fredrick Me too, they are fantastic looking, besides all of that since my Mother hates for me to wear jeans, those would really make her seethe. Yep, my Mother is about as bad as Gary's Mom, with one exception, she doesn't call me period, and my Husband and I live on her property. I can't go to see her because she burns coal and I am allergic to coal smoke.
This episode aired originally in 1972 and was on 10:00 PM on Saturday nights. The one night a week, l was allowed to stay up that late, l was only 12 years old. When I saw those Embroidered Bellbottoms, l begged my parents for a pair. My 13th Birthday was a couple of weeks away. I got Bellbottoms for my birthday and lots of Embroidery 🧵 Floss. I had to embroider my own pants. I’ll be 60 this year and l still have them. No, they don’t still fit. I’m taller! 🤣😂🤣👵🏻
Carol's jeans, like all the other costumes worn by the actors, guests, singers and dancers in Carol's shows, were designed by the American costume and fashion designer Bob Mackie.
That was a great skit. I wonder if Harvey Korman's last statement about Gary stripping down naked in the middle of the living room was an unscripted addition? If it was it was hilarious and the reaction of Carol and Harvey was even funnier!
LOL! I still remember when this originally aired back in 1974, 13 years before he starred in "Cabaret". Funny to see Joel Grey so young. Such a tiny man - he's 5'4", I read. Yeah, we all KNEW he was gay long before he officially came out in 2015. That was no big surprise and no one cares, anyway.
CBS The Carol Burnett Show. I've thought that all my teen and early adult years. I absolutely adore Carol, Vicky, Harvey and Tim. Best of any comedy, unless it's I love Lucy. Gary from Gary. Is that a sequined Road Runner on the back of Gary's jacket? Vickie L was a doll back in the day. What a mommy's boy.When comedy was comedy.
The wardrobe in this sketch was incredible.
The Carol Burnett show personified one of the reasons television was invented: To bring people together, laugh after a hard day and lighten up over some of the heavier aspects of life.
Absolutely 👍
I love these now as much as I did watching them in the 70's. Maybe even more. There's really nothing on TV today that I enjoy.
I'd never have guessed that was Joel Grey! What a fabulous actor!
Carol's jeans are absolutely gorgeous in this sketch, I loved the ending. I felt sorry for Gary and his Mother constantly calling, so what Harvey Kormans character did was very deserving to her. God Bless You.
Lolol
Carol Burnett show------ Priceless.
Joel Grey still with us in 2024 at 91. ❤🎉

You could make complete sitcoms out of these sketches. Some of them have more depth and humor than most modern comedy series.
Such a treat to watch these shows. Humor without vulgarity is so refreshing.
jonainwood Conversely, what's wrong with clean comedy?
AMEN !
I feel the same the new shows are awful
Isn't that so! There is so much garbage on television! This is very refreshing indeed!
Yeah. It’s so fucking funny.
Working as a page at CBS in the 70's and working the Carol Burnett show, i can guarantee that the ending was not in the script. Harvey improvised the end. He and Tim Conway are comic genuises
Steven Weinberg I thought so too
Steven? I was working there too! Lucille! Up in accounting!
This is so awesome you were there!

Dig that outfit Gary is wearing, very 70s!!!
So many women wear outfits similar to this today...
I like it!
Dig Carols sequined bell bottoms a d Harvey's seersucker.
Also Gary may have been an x beta tester.
And the 7 digit dialing code.
His outfit sure got “Bedazzled”! Lol

4:31 I must agree with Gary's reaction; Chrissy (Vicki) is a knockout in that outfit!
Vickie doesn't get much credit - to bad for that. She was great too!
@@Lucylou7070 I wouldn't say she doesn't get credit; as much as I despised the "Eunice" skits, there's no denying that Thelma "Mama" Harper is an iconic character.
I knew Joel Grey was a talented singer and dancer, but I had no idea he was also a talented comedian. He certainly nailed it in this sketch!
By my math Joel Grey was a couple months shy of 42 when this aired. To look so good!
Loved growing up knowing a silly funny redhead could be successful & popular.
Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant.
😂😂😂 I really miss TV shows like this they were the best
Love Carol's bell bottoms!!!
I needed this laugh with all what's going on in the world.

I remember those green phones. So great.
Did a lot of people have that model in green? When I watch 1970s movies and TV series, I spot many Western Electric 500s in this particular shade.
Aaron C. I guess those phones are worth some money now. We had an old black phone. With the finger hole (?) dial.
We had a white on just like it when I grew up!
Vicki looks so different from mamas family 😍 I love carol and her so much
She A Different Character In this Sketch Then Mama Both Vicky Lawrence and Carol Burnett Were Beautiful And Still Are
@@jonimichalski69 you're right show me that you got to go show
Her show is addicting. ❤
I can't see them together without thinking of them as Eunice, Ed and Mama.

No comedic actress is funnier..or classier than Carol Burnett.
This brings back such nostalgic memories 😄
Carol’s outfit in this sketch is SUPER CUTE! I need it!
Lol at Joel Grey’s body language early on and his denim outfit.
how very nice to see joel grey...monumentally talented guy...
Geez...the old phones . I still remember our phone number from 1957. And the black dial phone. Memories....
jacque trosper.
This is when tv had class. Legendary comedians
3:48
Omgosh that laugh!!! That’s from a laugh track I heard all through my childhood. The Brady Bunch and Gilligans Island
I loved the way Gary said, "She ran out of eggs!"
🤣🤣🤣 I've always loved The Carol Burnett Show
Omg this was great especially the ending 🤣😂
So many of Carol’s skits could’ve been awesome spin off shows! I love mamas family but this vibe is cute.
The diminutive Joel Grey; so cute & so talented! 🥰
I LOVED this show when I was a kid!
Carol Burnet looks just like my mother, I still watch this show tho. It's brilliant
2ndHand Me. Carol looks like my mother, also. She passed in 1961.
The fashions, the bell bottoms on Carol Burnett and crisie are priceless. I looooove those pants and Harvey's wide orange tie.
I want BELL BOTTOMS!!!
🛎 🏃
M. IL.
Joel Grey won an Oscar for Cabaret
He was brilliant in that film!
I think he surprised Carol by making up the ending, I'll bet it wasn't meant to end that way. Haha
I think it was scripted, but Carol's reaction is priceless all the same.
That is what I was about to say. I think maybe she was surprised.
That was fairly common on the show ... LOL
I think Harvey ad libbed.😄
She ran out of eggs 😭😂
Thank you 😊. As a kid i was so grateful for this show !!!
You can only take so much “Lawrence Welk” and Ko Jack !!! Lol
Tish Smiddy oh my god that’s so funny my grandma always watch the Lawrence Welk show and I couldn’t stand it. And my dad was into watching Hee Haw
and HeeHaw
I'd welcome Lawrence Welk and Kojak these days, television is such crap, I cancelled my cable subscription and got a Fire Stick. I watch everything on demand these days - and most of it's old, too.
I was in love with Vickie back in the day when I was 10 yrs old. What a babe!
What a crush I had on Joel Grey back in the day.

Am I the only one that loves Carol and Sis WAY more than Mama’s Family?
Same!
It's fun to hear from someone who was part of the behind the scenes!
A dial telephone???? How retro.
I am lusting for Carol's jeans!
Sheala Fredrick Me too, they are fantastic looking, besides all of that since my Mother hates for me to wear jeans, those would really make her seethe.

My favorite Carol and sis

Omg... Is that Joel Grey as Gary?!
Dahmer Doll Yep.
It is indeed. He was guesting
Chris Weird Boyfriend s But Joel Grey Was Fabulous
I was expecting the hair on top of his head to be fake too. Lol.
I was thinking the hair color came out of a bottle.
The first ultimate KAREN!
Laughing my heart out!!!!
I miss these days I never had a chance to grow up in
I'm sorry Sarah Crews...it was a fabulous time to grow up in
Janet Fowler Sure was!!!!!
I sure miss the 70s oh my God life was so much simpler people were nice and friendly
Omg laughing my butt off! 🤣 Ok mommy funny 🤣😂
Remember as child we children was sent to bed and rarely watch CB. Love them
Priceless!
So funny, had to watch it again 🤣
These sketches should have been a sitcom
That was a great skit. I wonder if Harvey Korman's last statement about Gary stripping down naked in the middle of the living room was an unscripted addition? If it was it was hilarious and the reaction of Carol and Harvey was even funnier!
It was unscripted actually!
Why does Gary remind me of James Franco in the beginning? 😆
I tripped out on the phone. Yep that's all we had back then
😂 your mommy called lol 😂
🤣the ending I Grew up watching The Carrol Burnette Show Ever week
Best comics all of them. I loved those shows.💖🌹🌹👏👏👏😘
Mindblowingly awesome outstanding acting
I miss this show so much!!!! Thank you oxox I want Gary’s Coat!!!!!!!!!
Wow...a young Joel Gray, I remember him for his outstanding performance on : Law and Order-Criminal Intent🥰

“i’m sure half the men in the building do” and women cause damn she’s beautiful.
I love it!!
He’s just full of compliments
She ran out of eggs. Their faces riot
Carol and Sis was ok. But another family would steal the show in later seasons. EUNICE and MAMA!
This is a lot more than a mama's boy.
That Gary is such a Momma's Boy.
Love this👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
