Topic: One of Tim Conway's best ad libs

You may have heard that Tim Conway passed away recently at the age of 85. He was a big comedian when I was young, part of the Carol Burnett show. They would do comedy sketches where they were supposed to stay in character and not laugh. Problem was, Tim Conway used to ad lib and make sh*t up to make the other actors laugh. The link below is probably their funniest skit. Vicki Lawrence played a recurring character called Mama, who was a no-nonsense bitch in these skits. Carol Burnett (sitting next to Tim Conway) was always trying to get the other actors to be serious in the skits and not laugh. The last line from Mama was a riot. Keep in mind that this was in the early 70's, and you couldn't swear on TV, so this unedited version wasn't aired until much later.

They simply don't make comedians like these people anymore.  All you hear now is profanity and slut.  Who needs or wants to listen to that?  Thanks for sharing this link.  Brings back some good memories.

Here's the other classic skit he's so well known for:

It was revealed many years later that Harvey Korman, playing the patient, actually wet his pants he was laughing so hard.
