What a class act. The fact that she was ok with rolling with his mood swings, but she refused to let him take it out on a guest star speaks volumes about her grace. By all accounts she's the nicest person alive, but she's no pushover.

I was born in 2012, and it inspired me when I first saw this show. I was laughing so hard. The comedy shows back then like in the 60s and the 70s, it is way much better then the ones now

Loved her show. Such happy memories with my parents and siblings. What a great time.

I miss all the older comedians. You could enjoy them with your children in the room. Not today, sadley.

She told a slightly different version in her book but that's the nature of memory, I guess.

[@TheFredneck72]

Not to mention if another writer just twisted her spoken word a bit.. to make their version a little more "interesting". Yet somehow.. it made the final cut. 🤔

Harvey told a different version too. He said that she said “i want u to think about why you’re in this business and why you’re here”. Harvey said he was scared to death and didn’t wanna lose his gig. Bob Mackie, the costumer designer said “Harvey would complain all week and then go in front of an audience and he was brilliant”.

Is she the BEST or what????

[@TheFredneck72]

It's sad how very little comments are seen here. If you love comedy, and the stick up other people's.. "opinions" say differently.. then so be it. Carol Burnett was hilarious, and brave. Besides.. Harvey was having a human moment. 👈👍

Some people found Harvey a little unchecked, he had a habit of saying whatever to whomever. Before he knew it he would have his foot in his mouth and when you took the foot out he would be laughing. He was his own riot, halarious, but he would laugh over scenes and thats the audiences job. It's indearing to be human but if the guy at burger king kept laughing through the speaker box as you ordered you'd go hungry.

True, but some of these skits were pretty lame affairs. The pleasure is in watching Conway trying, and ultimately succeeding in making Korman, a rather serious-looking man, break in spite of himself.

Fur !!!!!

[@garycrow1943]

Funny this didn't come out until he was dead and couldn't defend himself.

People that can't get attention from being good, nice or talented......act badly to get attention.
