You know that “The Carol Burnett Show” always makes people smile and laugh. And Tim Conway had his co-stars in stitches with his excellent improvisation in this specific clip.
Conway’s character Mickey Hart choose to tell a funny tale about an elephant that lived in a circus during a scenario while they were playing the game “Password.” Dick Van Dyke laughed uncontrollably, as did Vicki Lawrence and Carol Burnett.
The moment Conway mentioned the elephant and its trainer having a romantic bond, his story took an unexpected turn. He joked even about their shared burial place after they died. The other artists were trying to compose themselves, shivering and concealing their faces from their inability to control their emotions.
For the cast and the studio audience alike, you can only image how infectious the laughing was. The appeal of “The Carol Burnett Show” is brought home by moments like these.
