In This Hilarious Sketch, Tim Conway Never Says a Word and He’s Gloriously Funny!

Put Harvey Korman in a tuxedo and Beethoven wig, put him on a grand piano and the audience is already screaming before the first note sounds. Do you remember seeing The Carol Burnett Show in the 70s? If so, you will surely remember the smiles and laughter that have arisen at your home every Saturday night. In this gem of a sketch called "Piano Duet", the kings of the comedy Harvey and Tim come together to tickle the ivories and tickle our ribs. Korman's arrogant German concert pianist is eager to introduce his star student to the world. When, with a fake German accent, Harvey presents his protégé, "Joel", with a long and comically unpronounceable surname, and Tim comes on stage with a wig that evokes Harpo Marx, you know that a timeless gift awaits you. A duo is fine, but not a musical. The synchronicity of these two comedians is what is really shown here. They sit in front of the pianos, but before playing a ticket, the gags of the panorama arrive fast and furious. First, Tim breaks his knuckles forever as Harvey observes with growing anger. Then, they realize they have the wrong score and have to change the pianos, a simple step that becomes an endless comedy of errors. Just when you think you never play, the music starts, more or less. You won't believe what happens next, and the most interesting part of the sketch is that after the introduction of "Joel" by Harvey, there are no words for the rest. It's all an incredible joke of sight after another. "These two break me so much that I can't stand it, MY GOD I'm so funny," one viewer wrote. "Oh my God, this was too funny, I was about to laugh," agrees another fan. Did you know that Tim and Harvey first worked together in the mid-60s on the Danny Kaye Show? When they met again in the 1970s with The Carol Burnett Show, they became fast friends who found ways to collaborate for the rest of their lives.
