What began as a crisp, Broadway-style musical moment on The Carol Burnett Show exploded into pure, unfiltered chaos the second the camera zoomed out. Just a heartbeat before, the stage glowed with perfect lighting, sharp tuxedo jackets, and a number so smooth it looked straight out of a New York theater. But once the full frame came into view, the illusion shattered instantly: the men were dressed impeccably from the waist up… and from the waist down, they were wearing only brightly colored, skin-tight dance tights that left nothing to the imagination.
Sometimes the guy who moves the slowest ends up stealing the whole show — and nobody proved that better than Tim Conway. 😂 In this unforgettable Carol Burnett Show sketch, all Harvey Korman wants is a simple lunch. That’s it. Just a hot dog. But the second Conway waddles out as “The Oldest Man,” everything falls apart in the funniest way possible. He shuffles like he’s half-asleep, mixes up Harvey’s food order with directions to the post office, and takes so long to stamp “RUSH” on a ticket that the entire audience is already howling. Harvey tries to hold it together — you can literally see him shaking, covering his mouth, begging himself not to break — but Conway keeps piling on the nonsense.
