The Carol Burnett Show is often considered one of the greatest TV shows of all time. The variety/sketch comedy show featured a hilarious and talented cast. Over their 278-episode run, the show won 25 prime-time Emmy Awards and has since entered as a legendary status in the hearts of all Americans.
In one of the most amazing sketches in the show's history, Carol Burnett's character is arguing with her husband Harvey Korman. The argument is getting more and more intense when suddenly, none other than legendary song and dance man Dick Van Dyke enters the scene as a lovable door-to-door encyclopedia salesman!
This classic sketch has everything that made the Carol Burnett show one of the best TV shows of all time. From the tight and controlled physical comedy from the "rubber man" skills of Van Dyke to the hilarious back and forth acting abilities from Burnett, and finally the closing scene when Korman starts bickering again, we just love what Van Dyke does to get away from the fighting couple!
It's incredible to watch this scene unfold, two comedy legends acting together in a sketch that just seems to play so naturally for both of them.
And while it all seems like fun and games, the talented writing team manages to add some wisdom into the scene with Van Dyke's seamless delivery of that profound line at the 5:55 mark.
Make sure to watch this legendary and classic scene from one of America’s most beloved TV shows, it’s definitely worth the watch!
