CAROL BURNETT SHOW, THE - Steve Martin and Betty White

Air Date/Released Saturday, March 4, 1978
Station/Studio CBS / Whacko Inc. Productions
Host/Star Carol Burnett

Carol Burnett's long-running (1967 - 1978) 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," the hilarious moments featuring the interplay between Tim Conway and Harvey Korman, and each episode’s grand musical finale.

Guests Betty White and Steve Martin join Carol and series regular Vicki Lawrence in an installment of “As the Stomach Turns” to spoof CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND (1977). Tim Conway as the silver-clad alien communicates with Richard Dryface (Steve Martin) using sign language... in this case, a series of Three Stooges eyepokes and head bonks. Other show segments feature “The Family” as Mama and Eunice visit snooty sister Ellen (Betty White), and the cast pays tribute to the 1960s’ beach movies in a movie spoof titled BEACH BLANKET BOO-BOO.
