“Are you sure it’s still ticking?” — the question barely leaves Harvey Korman’s lips before The Oldest Man (Tim Conway) shuffles into the room, moving at a speed that could make a sundial impatient. In “Clock Repair,” one of The Carol Burnett Show’s most iconic sketches, Conway turns time itself into a joke — and Korman’s battle to keep a straight face into pure comedy legend. Every movement creaks like the antique clock he’s supposed to fix, every pause stretches longer than logic allows, until the audience is in hysterics and even Korman can’t hold it together. What begins as a simple repair job unravels into total chaos: gears fall, tools drop, and Conway’s deadpan expression never wavers. It’s physical comedy at its most masterful — a reminder that in Conway’s world, time doesn’t just fly… it limps, coughs, and wheezes its way into history.

If you ever need proof that comedy used to be absolutely unhinged in the best way, this is it. Tim Conway wins an Emmy and decides, nah, I’m not going. Instead he sends Harvey Korman onstage with a sealed envelope and zero warning. Harvey opens it live, in front of everyone, thinking he’s about to deliver a nice thank you speech. What he actually delivers is Tim Conway choosing violence with a pen.
