S07E24 - with John Byner, Francine Beers
Synopsis
Starting in February 1973, comedian-impressionist John Byner made six appearances in less than two years on The Carol Burnett Show. In this seventh-season episode, he performs a stand-up routine,, then plays Harvey Korman's partner-in-science (each of them developing a woman robot, inevitably arguing about which creation is better). The episode also is a marvelous showcase for Vicki Lawrence, who appears in a "Carol and Sis" sketch about Carol and Harvey trying to celebrate their anniversary,, then sings "Mama's Gonna Make It All Better," then plays Harvey's robot in the "Humanoids" skit, then plays Donna Cargoin the musical finale, a parody of country music awards (John is Glenn Twitty, Carol is Laura Tendril, Lyle Waggoner is Big John Black and Harvey is Johnny Money). And Vicki hadn't even started playing Mama in the "Family" sketches.
