    This may be my all-time favorite bit. RIP

      Tim also said because of his height,people told him he should have been a jockey. Glad he didn't listen to them.

        A favorite of our whole family growing up. Seeing him crack Harvey Korman up in nearly every skit is worth it alone. Plus, it's just inherently funny on every level.

        One of the greats. RIP.

          One of the few people that can make the word koala funny by the way he pronounced it.

            might be the best ever, he's killing everyone on that set including Dick Van Dyke. Vicki gets him back at the end. I wonder if it aired like that uncensored.

              Regarding the elephant bit and Conway breaking everyone up, I read that each skit was taped twice. First run, Conway stayed on-script and second, he improvised. Many improvisations were aired, but IIRC the Family elephant second taping was not aired until decades later in a Burnett special.
