Mrs. Higgins: The Only Woman Who Can Tailgate Herself

Tim Conway and Carol Burnett in 'The Intercom' skit.

You may not remember this one, but it was a family favorite

You are correct, I don't remember it.

Maybe if I saw it... there have been too many years to remember! :-)

It's easy to find on YouTube...just search carol burnett the pail :)

WOW - that was funny! I started remembering some as it went along, but there were still enough surprises to light me up.

It's nice to see the skit is still as effective after all these years. Nothing has aged into un-funniness. This is one of the most enjoyable skits I've seen in a while - so refreshingly funny!

Thank you! :-D

I hadn't thought about this in years...The Carol Burnett memes jarred it loose. My little sister always said, "Crybaby Crenshoff" 'cause she knew it drove me crazy :)

I just remembered the skit where Charo was her mother.

Another favorite; do you remember it?

How could I forget that classic...it looked like they used a pair of panty hose with cantaloupes for her bra (Bob Mackie probably did)...so many great mammories...er...memories :)

They stand out in my memory as some kind of cantaloupe contraption too.

Waaay too much gravity! ;-p

I have always loved that show! I remember back on the 90's Carol Burnett said in an interview that the funniest man she ever met was Tim Conway.

He's definitely got the timing and delivery. I always enjoyed his performances.

Carol's best friend was Beverly Sills. She nicknamed her Bubbles. :-)
