I am old enough to remember watching Sonny & Cher, Carol & Friends even HeeHaw, real game shows and more! I’m also old enough to have watched and loved Saturday Night Live while babysitting! Eddie Murphy as Buckwheat .. blues brothers .. oh I could go on! Thanks for this!
OMG! I had an experience just like this on the $20,000 Pyramid in the mid-70's, except my beautiful celebrity (when I could have had the sharp AND beautiful Kate Jackson just one game later) was terribly contrite about continually saying the answer in her clues (three times!). During a break, she said she was so nervous about playing the game. I'm thinking, "She's on TV every week and SHE'S nervous?" At the beginning of this, I'm thinking, "That looks like Dennis Weaver, but it can't be Dennis Weaver. He's playing the overly cheerful game show host better than a real overly cheerful game show host. On the other hand, it's not Lyle Waggoner either." But it _was_ Dennis Weaver! Great job. I wish Carol's name in the skit has been Mrs. Dillon. Sadly, he is gone, but the two talented ladies, are, of course, still with us, and appeared together just last week on the Carol Burnett birthday tribute.
I’ve seen a lot of full episodes of Carol Burnett when they were originally aired and I’ve seen a lot here on RU-vid but I have never seen this skit before. Thank you for uploading it.
Do you listen to Kathleen Madigan’s pubcast by any chance? One feature is a weekly update on the queens, including Cher, Dolly, Anita Baker, and Stevie Nicks.
When Cher did, pa pa pa paaa… with the fake boobs… When she throws herself back over the chair, to bring the mountains to the ceiling… I died laughing. Good comedy chops, Cher. Carol is genius, as always.
Cher's " Pa-pa-pa PAAA !" was not the " 1812 " , it was the opening notes of Beethoven's 5th Symphony. Maybe the wrong name was the joke...? 😊 . Carol is always so good ! 🇬🇧😊🇬🇧💕🇺🇸🦉🥀😊🐏
Dennis was married fir a few days to Michelle Phillips. She never says why it only lasted a few days. But she was in lots of other relationships. So who knows.
@@jayniekinser7029 No, he wasn't. You're full of baloney. He married Gerry Stowell in 1945, and they were married for 61 years. Michelle Phillips was married 3 times, and none of them were Dennis Weaver, a man who married about the time Michelle was born!
Love that Carol Burnett. What a great classic. Never saw this one which I can’t believe it. Thought I’d seen them all. I can still laugh at her antics even if I’ve seen it a million times. A priceless Lady.
You know that Vicki Lawrence used to do a damn good job of playing the real $25,000 and $100,000 Pyramid. Remember when she got pissed off and walked out on everybody in the middle of taping? During Valentines Week 1987?
Wow, so happy to see this, thanks for posting! Here is a classic example of three outstanding performers making a poorly written sketch actually seem funny! Cher, Carol, and the underrated Dennis Weaver……well done !
Thought I was the only one that remembered that. Another one from that era kind of similar was 'Trapped' with James Brolin. I was a kid, and it made me afraid of Dobermans.
Wow! The writing is lackluster but the acting is so good that I questioned whether or not you had written the description incorrectly and posted wrong video because there’s no way that was Cher. Man she’s good.❤
I've always wanted to see this sketch again! Thanks for the post! But I thought it was on "The Carol Burnett Show", not "Cher". Did I misremember this? 😊
