One of my favorites. My Mom and I always watched the Carol Burnett show together when I was growing up and later we would call each other when a special was on to see if the other was watching.

I am going to see Carol Burnett at the Ryman next week with her and I cannot wait, this will be so special. I really wanted to see Tim Conway and Harvey Korman with her when they toured, but it never worked out.

That Siamese elephant story has been my absolute favorite Tim Conway bit for decades, ever since I first saw it. One of the funniest things I've ever seen on television. I still use the word fnorky (your spelling may vary) on a regular basis to this day.

As I understand it, there was only a brief joke written there for Conway but he just left the script and ad libbed all of that, leaving the others completely helpless (until Vicki brought down the house at the end, anyway).

RIP sir.
