Tim Conway was, and is, a brilliant comedian. He could take a very talented group, like the crew from the Carol Burnett Show, and leave them rolling. In particular was his ability to absolutely ruin Harvey Korman in sketch after sketch.
Harvey Korman was an extremely funny man himself, as viewed in the riot Blazing Saddles, but there was something about Tim that would leave him doubled over. Someone told me a good straight man in a comedy bit is supposed to be the relay for the audience, and Korman did that too well, bowling over with laughter at Tim's performance, just like everyone else.
Supposedly, Harvey Korman wet himself during The Dentist skit. I believe it. There is nowhere for him to go. He is just the foil for Tim Conway and his brilliance. Enjoy on a Friday night.
