Host/Star | Carol Burnett |
Carol Burnett's long-running (1967 - 1978), Saturday night variety show. Guests, comedy skits and musical performances... but, best-remembered for its recurring character sketches such as "The Family," "Mrs. Whiggins," "As the Stomach Turns," and the hilarious moments featuring the interplay between Tim Conway and Harvey Korman.
Guest Ken Berry joins Carol Burnett and Harvey Korman as [respectively] Curly, Larry and Moe, founders of The Three Stooges National Bank. The "Stooges" engage in typical slapstick antics as they argue over who will be the bank's President. Lyle Waggoner appears as an executive who informs them that they will be replaced by three with more sophistication... The Marx Brothers.
Other show segments feature an installment of "Carol and Sis" with Roger (Korman) attempting to prepare his tax return, Eydie singing "I Am Woman," a salute to Fred Astaire, and a comedy-musical salute to the RKO Studios.
