Carol Burnett is one of the most versatile television personalities to ever grace the small screen. She was endearing and sweet but also outrageously hilarious. She could do impressions, original characters and sing songs while dancing in numbers that rivaled any Broadway show.

Burnett is also a huge fan of classic Hollywood. For proof, look no further than many of the sketches on The Carol Burnett Show. She used her abilities to poke fun at a wide range of movies from film noirs to musicals. She also parodied contemporary movies from that time.

Tim Conway in the Born Free Sketch was good, what made it great was cracking up the cast! I love when he did that!

My favorite was the dentist sketch, Conway had Korman dying trying not to laugh

That was all scripted. The cast was supposed to giggle and act like they were holding back a laugh. They do this on SNL too
