I crack up on the line "I am the most feared interrogator in all the world... And part of Canada". This is tied with "Went With the Wind" for my all time favourite skit!!!
Conway's performance is brilliant. His gag with the Hitler puppet is classic. His timing is so perfect that the joke continues to play, and it gets funnier the longer he plays it.
I was there when they filmed this. Harvey was off to the side cracking up during the puppet scene and his face was turning beet red. Tim Conway was a guest on this particular episode, not yet a regular.
OMG. How any of these guys could keep their composure during this skit is beyond me. I grew up on this show. I remember my parents cracking up at this skit, and they were both bombed out of Poland in WWII. Father in German POW camps and my Mother was in forced labor, but they so laughed at this.
Haha!! I know! I loved the whole show, but, they were great together. I have a few of the carol burnette shows, b ut i don't really like the musical parts. I wish i could find just the carol burnette and friends dvds with just the comedy parts. I wish harvey were still alive too. There will never be a better comedy team than tim and harvey!!
"I'm the most feared interrogator in all the world, and part of Canada." Oh Tim Conway you make me laugh, including when he stand up straight. :) Love them all :D
The whole Hitler puppet segment is a CLASSIC. Poor Lyle trying to keep a straight face - I'm almost certain that the puppet was an ad lib by Tim. I only wish that we could have seen Harvey's reactions to the puppet.
+InnannasRainbow No doubt! I know I was. (And you can't show that on TV....) I speak a little German, and they sounded rather convincing w/the dialog. My favorite part of that is where, after Tim staples the cigarette together, Harvey goes off into a rant, using the German sounding stuff, with the one very clearly pronounced word "STAPLE!" in the middle of it. From that point on, I was just dying of laughter!
Have to stop. My face hurts from laughing. Lyle and Harvey, 2 of the most handsome guys ever. Tim, with his big round childlike head, absolute GENIUS. Cannot understand how these guys just didn't fall down on the floor in fits of laughter. How the hell they could pull this off is amazing.
he's singing a childhood song called "I've been Working on the Railroad." What makes it so funny is 1) who is expecting a Hitler puppet/Nazi interregator to sing it? and 2) the looks on Lyle Waggoner's face during the whole thing. Tim was the master of improv and used to get his costars (notably Harvey) to burst out laughing.
@@MaskedMan66 I wrote the comment in response to someone here (back when it didn't have the person's handle) but then the Google takeover happened and messed up the story.
I love how Harvey jumped up and put an end to the singing. He didn't do it so much to continue with the skit as he did to save poor Lyle from laughing too hard. =)
harvey and tim did such a great job of imitating german words and accents! i know they were not speaking actual german sentences, but they must have had to do a lot of practicing to do such a great imitation! this is hysterical!
This stuff is screamingly funny. I realize that it was before my time, but that changes nothing. Korman, Conway and Burnett were mold breakers of the highest order. Physical and intellectual comedy combined to create an incredible level of humor and entertainment.
Harvey Korman's "deutsche doubletalk" (a mangling of real German vocabulary and syntax for comedic effect, made popular back in the 1950s and '60s by virtue of thousands of American troops having had experience with garrison duty in the Bundesrepublik during those decades) is spot-on.
My dad, who served in the U.S. Army in Germany in WWII, loved this skit. So did my mother even though she had German blood--my dad was pure Irish. With this combination of genetics, this is why I like to drink Guinness on a strict schedule.
guyfihi that's a cute one. my grandmother is American-German and she was cracking up at this skit so hard when i saw it with her when this show reran in the early 90s. i do love 'hitler' the puppet
Conway is like a shark that smells blood. When he's sees that you may crack, he goes for it and won't let up until he's got you. It seems like at 7:45 Harvey had decided that Conway had tortured poor Lyle long enough and saved him. LOL, poor Lyle, Conway was really after him in this skit. Just a great show.
The puppet was one of those breaking away from the script improv things they used to do on that show. That's why Lyle is having trouble controlling his reaction. He didn't know that was coming.
@cluvsonj - This sketch was from one of the last shows on which Lyle Waggoner was a regular, in early 1974. (Originally aired Feb. 23, 1974, as a matter of fact.) I.I.N.M., "Wonder Woman" didn't debut as a series until the 1975-76 season - by which time Tim Conway had become a full-fledged regular on the Burnett show.
I had to re watch this when I heard Tim Conway had left us. My all time favorite CBS skit.
I crack up on the line "I am the most feared interrogator in all the world... And part of Canada". This is tied with "Went With the Wind" for my all time favourite skit!!!
R.I.P., Lyle Waggoner...you were handsome, funny, smart, and gave us lots of joy.
This is the ONLY time Tim could get Lyle Waggoner to laugh!! Loved it!!
Lyle doesn't get enough credit or respect for his contribution on the show. He was awesome!
Conway's performance is brilliant. His gag with the Hitler puppet is classic. His timing is so perfect that the joke continues to play, and it gets funnier the longer he plays it.
I love how Tim sees Lyle starting to slip and just keeps pushing..
He did that to everybody; the only person who seemed immune to his antics was Vicki.
No one could contain themselves with Tim, it was literally impossible. I cherish growing up in a world and era with comedy like this. ❤️
I was there when they filmed this. Harvey was off to the side cracking up during the puppet scene and his face was turning beet red. Tim Conway was a guest on this particular episode, not yet a regular.
=-O did you meet them personally?
Lucky you😱😱😱
Possibly one of the funniest skits ever!
OMG. How any of these guys could keep their composure during this skit is beyond me. I grew up on this show. I remember my parents cracking up at this skit, and they were both bombed out of Poland in WWII. Father in German POW camps and my Mother was in forced labor, but they so laughed at this.
AFAIK, they had a standing order that whoever broke first had to buy dinner for the rest of the cast!
This skit deserves an award.
I have watched this MULTIPLE times!! And it’s just as funny if not funnier every time!
You simply cannot resist the humor of Tim Conway... YOU WILL CRACK EVENTUALLY LOL.
I loved this show! I would love to see shows like this make a comeback.
Bob-there is no Tim, “comedy” these days is not comedy. It’s pathetic, dirty crap.
Waggoner was famous for not breaking during skits no matter what. This one he didn't quite make.
how he composed himself even a little with conway and the hitler doll is mind boggling
Michael Eldert Waggoner would let Harvey Korman bust up laughing for him.
You could see him cracking up as he was leaving the Mary Worthless skit.
He cracked a smirk when Conway said “and part of Canada”
Haven't seen this skit since I was a kid watching the show with my mom and dad. One of my favorites. Love that puppet.
LOVE IT! Lyle Wagoner is ADORABLE! And So are Harvey Korman and Tim Conway,lolololol
Tim is ALWAYS so funny, but, I think it's even funnier when the others can't stop laughing at him themselves! Miss this show so much!
Haha!! I know! I loved the whole show, but, they were great together. I have a few of the carol burnette shows, b
ut i don't really like the musical parts. I wish i could find just the carol burnette and friends dvds with just the comedy parts. I wish harvey were still alive too. There will never be a better comedy team than tim and harvey!!
Yea. I really miss the show and harvey and tim together!
one thing that i loved about Harvey was how he did is accents.
RIP Tim Conway. Thank you for being one who could always make me laugh
Tim was one of the best. RIP
"I'm the most feared interrogator in all the world, and part of Canada."
Oh Tim Conway you make me laugh, including when he stand up straight. :) Love them all :D
Tim Conway is the absolute funniest man on the planet!! Oh my abs!!! Lol
My favorite "Carol Burnette Show" skit ever!!!
Gold. ABSOLUTE gold.
"I'm gonna hit you with this club..."
The whole Hitler puppet segment is a CLASSIC. Poor Lyle trying to keep a straight face - I'm almost certain that the puppet was an ad lib by Tim.
I only wish that we could have seen Harvey's reactions to the puppet.
+Allison Halpin Harvey was probably wetting himself.

Classic. All three were trying not to laugh. When Tim hit the door and ceiling pieces started falling....looked like he wasn't prepared for that. 😆
he's singing a childhood song called "I've been Working on the Railroad."

I think the world knows that song! 🙂

@@janeyrevanescence12 Gotcha. 🙂
I'd like to see the crew that wrote all those skits interviewed. I bet they would be hilarious.
Could this even be done today? Comedy Gold here folks.
Nope, to many Sensitive Sallies would be whining and crying about being offended!!! 🙄
I love the way Tim walks around. If you look closely you can see Harvey cracking up everytime Tim starts to walk.
Two of the greatest of all time on one of the greatest TV shows ever. I miss the old style variety shows.
Tears running down my face from laughing so hard. Best skit ever.
There isn't another comedian who could've done it better than Tim Conway.
7:36 is the best part. Conway waits, times it perfectly to fully corpse Waggoner :)
My favorite skit
I love how Harvey jumped up and put an end to the singing. He didn't do it so much to continue with the skit as he did to save poor Lyle from laughing too hard. =)
Worst torture ever, I imagine, would be being forced to be in a sketch with Tim Conway and being told that if you laugh, you will be shot. Too funny!
A time when we had REAL entertainers and GOOD television!!!!!
It is great to see clean comedy again!!
harvey and tim did such a great job of imitating german words and accents! i know they were not speaking actual german sentences, but they must have had to do a lot of practicing to do such a great imitation! this is hysterical!
This stuff is screamingly funny. I realize that it was before my time, but that changes nothing. Korman, Conway and Burnett were mold breakers of the highest order. Physical and intellectual comedy combined to create an incredible level of humor and entertainment.
Couldn't agree more. Well said.
Happy 80th Birthday Lyle Waggoner
+jc6594 He's 80! Good Goddess, where has the time gone!
Without a doubt, one of the most hilarious comedy skits of all time.
Harvey Korman's "deutsche doubletalk" (a mangling of real German vocabulary and syntax for comedic effect, made popular back in the 1950s and '60s by virtue of thousands of American troops having had experience with garrison duty in the Bundesrepublik during those decades) is spot-on.
RIP Mr. Conway. Thanks for all the laughs.
One of my favorite skits! The humor of it all is so funny, especially when they try not to crack up!
Love these skits!
Lyle waggoner did get some pratice for his future role of Major Steve Trevor from the Wonder Woman tv show.
I LOVE at 1:30 when he stands up straight and Harvey laughs so he looks back at him. I lost it. RIP Harvey!
the Best Skit of all time!!! The laughing gave me a six pack haha
Look up "Tim Conway elephant" on here and watch that - it's even better than this!
Great work Tim Conway!
I had trouble breathing because I was laughing too hard when he tried to break the bottle in different ways
I think the next time the shows videos are for sale I will try to get them. It would be a smart purchase
Yes. I think it really was the only time I saw Lyle crack a laugh.
Tim Conway , one of the best ever
Love it, would love that type of interrogation!!!!
I dont know how much of this was actually 'scripteed' but a rough guess would suggest less than half! Brilliant !
PRICELESS!!!!!
i could watch this for hours
Utterly brilliant.
The part with the Hitler puppet is the best part. I was LMFO. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time, though the whole skit was hilarious.
I have no idea what Tim is singing, English is not my first language, but the way he delivers the song, that is what makes it funny
Oh sehr gut! Danke schon! I was laughing out loud! I’m gonna come back again! I’ll never get tired of their antics! 🤣
I couldn't play Lyle Waggoner's part. I would've died laughing
My dad, who served in the U.S. Army in Germany in WWII, loved this skit. So did my mother even though she had German blood--my dad was pure Irish. With this combination of genetics, this is why I like to drink Guinness on a strict schedule.
guyfihi Funny!
guyfihi that's a cute one. my grandmother is American-German and she was cracking up at this skit so hard when i saw it with her when this show reran in the early 90s. i do love 'hitler' the puppet
I am the most feared interrogator in all the world, and part of Canada.
Gets me every time.
very funny one of my many favorites!!
working on the railroad part. i almost choked on my breakfast from laughing
Tim Conway was a master at breaking up his co stars....it was just a mater of time
Conway is like a shark that smells blood. When he's sees that you may crack, he goes for it and won't let up until he's got you. It seems like at 7:45 Harvey had decided that Conway had tortured poor Lyle long enough and saved him. LOL, poor Lyle, Conway was really after him in this skit. Just a great show.
haaaa I love it when those acting can't help laughing themselves.
Lyle can hardly keep from laughing this entire skit.
That's a pretty face...too bad we have to mess it up 🤣🤣🤣
Oh man...when he started singing, I lost it and fell off the bed.
Every time Conway snaps to attention I die laughing 😅
06:50-07:48 best part ever! I LOVE TIM CONWAY
I wonder Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman would have 'endured', this interrogation.
I've never seen the actual show, but my parents have shown it to me since I was little.
Claire Sharpe MeTV airs reruns every night around 10:00. :)
MasterJediDude i know
AHAHAHAHA them mocking the German language is perfect
The backstory to this was because everyone knew it was hard to make him break character. So Caroll thought, "hey! Challenge accepted!"
wow, just great stuff!
Comedy gold without cuss words. Who'da thunk it?
The puppet was one of those breaking away from the script improv things they used to do on that show. That's why Lyle is having trouble controlling his reaction. He didn't know that was coming.
7:40 Lyle finally cracks 🤣🤣🤣
Lyle was very handsome.
Lyle's look at 5:19.... I think spells out that he at least wasn't expecting it. Lol. I feel like he is looking at Harvey like "WTF?!?"
Lyle Wagner had some admirable self control here.
Tim Conway is the funniest ever
GENIUS! ABSOLUTE GENIUS!
Very funny and well done ❤😅😊😊
5:45 ........and let the sketch go weird. Love the fact that Tim was able improv a lot of that stuff.

tim conway has to be the funniest comedian on the show with the finger puppet using it for lnterrogation.
Tim would get to you no matter what as Lyle found out, with the help of the mini-fuhrer LOL
Two doofuses who make Col. Klink look competent!
Imagine Tim Conway on Hogan's Heroes , he would make even Crittendon look competent
@@aaronreyes1590 Haha yassssss 🤣🤣🤣
