Accepting the award on Tim's behalf is Harvey Korman, who explains why he couldn't lose this night. A memorable and hilarious Emmys moment. www.emmys.com/ / televisionacad / televisionacad
Oh hysterical. Harvey Korman accepting the award for Tim Conway. Remember when Harvey Korman won his Emmy and Tim Conway followed him up on the stage ? It was so hysterical.
You could tell that Harvey was genuinely touched by that. Well worded: " If you're holding an award with your name on it, congratulations. If you're holding an award with my name on it, you were robbed." Great friends for many decades.
It was a very clever way of saying, “If we don’t tie, and I win, it’s only because I broke the tie by voting for myself and conned you into voting for me, too. You deserve this more than I do!”😜
Made hamburgers once at a place in W. LA on Wilshire for both. The hamburgers were ready, but they were too busy cracking jokes with each other. Really loved seeing them that way in real life. What a nice positive experience that was.
This just makes me long for the simplicity of life of my youth. Watching quality programs, where decency prevailed, with my parents (on our 25" Magnavox). Listening to my Dad laugh at Jack Benny, "Hogan's Heroes" or Johnny Carson. He and Mom are gone now. Mom died four years ago last Tuesday and Dad would have been 108 last Monday. As I write this I'm sitting in the same spot his recliner sat for many years. Our 52" flat-screen sits where the Magnavox did. These days, I don't find as much to laugh at as Dad did.
As I type these words, THE CAROL BURNETT SHOW ended 45 years ago. I was 12 at the time. And I still crack up whenever I think of Tim Conway's ad-libs and Harvey Korman's hysterical laughter.
The great shows are gone, musical variety shows are not completely released on DVD because of greed on the song publishing houses' part, and only a handful of those great actors are left... Carl, Dick, Carol, Vicki, Lyle, Betty.
As a comedian, Tim Conway was on a different level of funny compared to others and i doubt anyone will ever top him. When Harvey and Tim worked together they were comedy gold.
What so sad about watching this video is that all the stars are no longer with us . Still we we're blessed to be around when they were here that made us roll around on the floor with tears running down our cheeks . They were so so funny .
This clip showing three of the greatest performers whose kind of talent and art we don't see today from those on television or movies; Jack Benny, Mary Tyler Moore and Harvey Korman.
back when being a good friend, a gracious winner and sporting loser were virtues to be admired. I sure do miss the days of humility and gratitude. Perhaps we were "old fashioned" but, I somehow feel we were better then.
One year, Tim won and read a congratulatory letter from a mini-golf course he frequented that turned into a commercial for the place. Harvey was cracking up in the audience (naturally) Another, Tim, Harvey and Chevy Chase all started walking toward the stage when their names were announced as nominees. Chevy ended up winning. Redd Foxx was a bit perplexed.
At 1:09, brilliant comedy writing and performing, the hysterical reaction by Carol, Joe and those surrounding them is something beyond words, how I love people laughing like that, could see this clip a hundred times, God bless these great comedy artists !!! 🤣
I don’t how they managed to do these awards shows without tons of political grandstanding, but they did. And the ratings reflected it. Young people have no idea what normal looks like anymore. Thank God for RU-vid, where snippets like this can be found.
We were so blessed with television programming greatness then. Now, I refuse to own a TV. It became disgusting about 20 years ago. Nothing but propaganda, lies, and revolting crap.
After lecturing the plebeians about their "carbon footprint" and their obsessive love of the Second Amendment, their corps of armed guards would escort them back to their private jets, for the flight back to Paris.
You know what would be an interesting video? Show an Awards clip from years gone by to an Awards clip from today and you'll see a reason why no one watches award shows anymore.
1 John 2:15-17 New Living Translation 15 Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. 16 For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. 17 And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever. James 4:4 New Living Translation 4 You adulterers! Don’t you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? I say it again: If you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God." Mark 8:36 New Living Translation 36 And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?
Shows like the Carol Burnett Show starring some of the best comedians in Hollywood no longer exist... and likely never will as Political grandstanding and so called "Reality" shows that require no actual writers/skilled actors have become the norm. Now we have the Kardashians and RU-vid ... 😖
You got to laugh at all the old people complaining about actors and comedians today and their acceptance speeches. Life was so much better for people of color and women in them good old days! It was so much better when performers said nothing and we could ignore the problems since they weren't our problems.
The attitude you are displaying is one of the main reasons why those "old people" complain. How did you ever come to the conclusion that politically loaded acceptance speeches at awards shows are what the country needed to solve its problems?
@@arnoldconrad744 Sure, i understand that. They don't like the idea of actors with voices and minds of their own. More than that, they don't want to be told the world has problems. They certainly don't want to feel uncomfortable. But I'm sorry. Nothing changes if everyone is ignorant. Problems are never solved in silence. What I object to is the blanket idea that actors were better in the past. Hays era Hollywood was better? Get serious. Gays were in the closet, the casting couch was standard business practice, women were in the kitchen and anyone of color was almost never seen on the screen except as some kind of servant. Personally, I'm sick of the sticky saccharin dishonesty of the nostalgic past. Actors are just people, some better, some worse than we think they are or were regardless of the era. I guarantee that our perception of anyone on the big screen is just as likely to be false as it is to be true. Especially in the big studio days when actors were under contract. . The blanket statements dismissing the actors of today reminds me of people saying "these kids today" As if they were better when they were young. As for actors using their voices for change. I say good on them.
Life is so great for women these days when even the word that describes us is being eradicated. We are 'birthing parents' rather than Mothers and have our safety compromised by men identifying as women in our safe spaces and even toilets. The world has gone bloody mad. I would much rather be a woman back then as at least we had our own identity as the biological women that we are. Why are these modern 'performers' not standing up for us?
