“THE 2002 SPECIAL ‘TIM CONWAY AND HARVEY KORMAN’S LIVES IN COMEDY’ REVEALS HOW ONE MISCHIEVOUS GENIUS KEPT BREAKING LIVE TELEVISION — LEAVING HIS CO-STAR LAUGHING SO HARD HE COULDN’T FINISH THE SCENE.” For years, viewers of The Carol Burnett Show witnessed something magical — and totally unpredictable. Comedy legends Tim Conway and Harvey Korman weren’t just performing sketches. They were creating some of the most unforgettable “break character” moments in television history. Conway had a legendary habit of improvising. Right in the middle of a sketch, he would suddenly add a line, drag out a pause, or invent a ridiculous detail no one else saw coming. And standing right beside him was usually Harvey Korman — desperately trying to keep a straight face.
