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 vi’olence with a pen.
This clip isn’t just funny. It’s a time machine. Back to when TV felt like hanging out with people who actually liked each other and still couldn’t resist ruining each other’s lives for a laugh.
Do yourself a favor. Watch it. Laugh too hard. Miss this kind of comedy all over again.
