S10E04 - with Madeline Kahn
Synopsis
Madeline Kahn the guest star for this tenth-season episode, had something in common with Carol Burnett Show regular Harvey Korman. Both were members of the big-screen stock company assembled by writer-director-comedian Mel Brooks for his films. Each had wonderfully wacky roles in Brooks' Blazing Saddles (1974), High Anxiety (1977) and The History of the World, Part One (1981). She gets several chances to shine throughout this show, starting with her portrayal of a director/actress rehearsing hard-luck Eunice (Carol) for a part in a play. She and Carol then sing a duet, "Friend," both returning to participate in the "That's Showbiz" parody of That's Entertainment. the episode also features the "Mrs. Wiggins" sketch about much-exasperated Mr. Tudball (Tim Conway) doing battle with a vending machine that refuses to cough up a cup of coffee.
