Bing Crosby and Bob Hope had audiences roaring once again as they teamed up for Carol Burnett’s unforgettable “Fan Girl” sketch — a comedy gem that proved their legendary chemistry never faded. Playing exaggerated versions of themselves, the duo walked straight into Carol’s over-the-top fangirl adoration, dodging her shrieks, clinging hugs, and chaotic attempts to impress them. Their effortless timing, deadpan reactions, and playful jabs at each other sent the studio into hysterics, while Carol’s frantic energy pushed every moment over the edge. It’s classic Burnett Show magic: three icons, one brilliantly silly setup, and laughter so contagious it still holds up decades later.
THE MOMENT TV LOST CONTROL — Tim Conway Destroys the “Dr. Nose” Sketch With One Rogue Improvised Move, Sending Harvey Korman Into a Meltdown No One Could Stop! What began as a calm, straight-faced medical scene instantly detonated into chaos the second Conway abandoned the script, unleashing a storm of unpredictable jokes, wild expressions, and perfectly timed nonsense. Harvey Korman fought to stay composed, but every look, every pause, every off-the-wall line from Conway pushed him closer to total collapse until the entire set dissolved into uncontrollable laughter. Even decades later, fans still call it one of the greatest unscripted comedy disasters — and the moment The Carol Burnett Show truly broke television.
It was meant to be a serious scene — calm, quiet, dramatic. But then Tim Conway and Carol Burnett showed up… and nothing stayed serious for long. A stubborn coffee pot, an invisible cigarette, and a silence so funny it nearly broke the cameras — that’s all it took. Within seconds, the background turned into the main event. You could see the crew shaking behind the cameras, trying not to laugh.
