Carol Burnett Show- Nora Desmond Gets Roasted

[cam11971]

I absolutley LOVE Vicki's laugh for Phyllis :p

[35777]

These guys were the best, they were a great team, they really clicked, I would say brilliant together, The Carol Burnett show was the best ever......they still make me laugh, lol lol lol.......miss them

[AspieCub]

The best scene is when Vicki Lawrence as "Phyllis Dillis" and she turns around to Nora Desmond and screams out of fright. It's so funny! LOL!

[FLICKOFF1000]

guess this is were the roasting show idea came from?

[XByTheShoreX]

@FLICKOFF1000 No, it's a parody of the roasts.

[mslegacy01]

*Max* roasting *Norma* and making her the butt of his years of silently built up frustration is like that of Tiger Wood's former caddie's 2011 media circus moment. Jealousy and resentment.....is a b!tch! Never underestimate what so called *friends* will say or do...when they are mad at you or drunk.

[mslegacy01]

OMG..LOOK at Carol's face as she is seated next to and then look up and down at *Phyllis Diller!" OMG--->>>The tears!!!

[mslegacy01]

OMG!!! Everytime I see this skit and see Carol's outlandish make up and outrageous facial expressions....my stomach be hurtin' like crazy because she is so over the top hilarious!!! This is what the last of REAL live comedy was like. That crap that passes today's mustard as funny (King of the Hill, Family Guy, Everybody Loves Raymond...) is lame.

[SHERFARKUS]

LOL!!

- Phyllis Dillis (Diller): "She's now in the 19th year of her 7 Day Beauty Program."

-Nora: "KILL, KILL"

[fjccommish]

How can Max turn on her like that?

[erichudson2009]

LOVE THAT LAUGH  from Pensacola , fl

[dameagatha100]

"You say that i'm nutz. You say that ive gone hamburgers

[Suedeheadlover]

It seems to me at times & I don't know why, but when Harvey is in close up as Max & given some of his facial expressions, I can only picture a bald Martin Milner for some reason.

[wmbrown6]

This sketch, from what I've gathered, originally aired Sept. 21, 1974, and was the second show of the eighth season.

[RyColSM]

IT'S EZMA!!!

[jsp420]

"there will be no more cheap saloon antics at your expense" lol

[IncHulkLover]

@jsp420 -- Would EXPENSIVE saloon antics be better, perhaps? LOL!!

[fjccommish]

@IncHulkLover No Sch..TICKKKKKKKKKKKK!

[SuperMalka]

where are all these laughs and tears. And no cussing,but a good time. we can really use it now. With all the world going to pot.

[IncHulkLover]

@SuperMalka -- Exactly! No cursing, but lots of laughs. Where's THAT on today's TV, huh?!

[wmbrown6]

Can anyone say which specific episode this originated from? I know it was around 1974.

[BrerAndy]

I had to LIVE in ditches

[ninetiesbaby10]

When she says "we had FACES"...her expression and makeup reminds me of Medusa from the Rescuers

[AfterTheWind]

@ninetiesbaby10 I was thinking the same thing lol. She also reminds me of Yzma from The Emperor's New Groove lol!

[ninetiesbaby10]

@AfterTheWind ROFL...yes she does!!!

[falstaffinfection]

Harvey Corman looks like John Locke from Lost.

[wattever333]

when sunset boulevard came out, norma desmond's glory days were only 30 years earlier! yet they still treated her like she was 100 years old.

[albertusj]

The lady with the white hair and orange dress remind me of Liz Taylor

[suegtk]

Priceless !!

[WindWolfProductions]

haha! i love the make up and costume it's hilarious!

the feathers and eyeliner and those eyes!!! ROFL!!!!! god i love this show!

[dougalina123]

Vicki as Phyllis Diller...HA!!! This WAS GREAT TV!!!

[CLParsons]

Professor Danielle....ha ha ha!

Makes me want to purchase that $300 C.D. collection of Carol Burnett that I almost bought once before!

[ClassicMovieClub]

"Ur saying ive gone bananas! That im not playing with a full deck. That im a nut burger. Thats not true, I know why I was called here tonight. I know. Therefore, I will accept this acadamy award" *picks up peguinin*

[ClassicMovieClub]

"we didnt need dialogue. We had FACESSS!" hahaha shes sounds possessed - brilliant!

[amuse4god]

those eyes, honey!!!!

LMAO

[td2gether4ever]

Absolutely loved these skits. Carol portraying the great Gloria Swanson. :) love the eyes.lol

[leftiesrox]

when i actually saw sunset boulevard, i started cracking up when gloria swanson said "we didn't need dialouge, we had faces" thinking about this skit.

[angeloflove]

Vicki's impersonaltion of Phylis is too too funny

[bigred997]

"and now for our guest of honor, the late nora desmond"

[parissmiles]

dang. 1:44  i love how she sets her boobs on the table.

[RIORDENATO]

The best ever.

[MrKipW]

She's right! The screen has gotten smaller.

[daviddarkmaster]

RIP Harvey Korman (MAX); You are missed!

I saw Carol on stage and she paid tribute to him.

[raiu0009]

Vicki as Phyllis Diller is brilliant. I love Desmond's companion starts out praising her and ends up roasting her worse than everyone else.

[happyhead64]

roflmao

[Singjoyous]

That looks like such a fun character to play.

[angeloflove]

Who the hell is Vicki suppose to be?

[wotmeworry333123456]

Phylis Diller

[angeloflove]

[angeloflove]

[twdeck]

I also remember Carol doing a imitation of Mae West where she played "Mae East" which was equally hilarious!

[angeloflove]

[chotch87]

carol's makeup looks like Victor from the Corpse Bride :)

[AveIvy]

This is totally Sharon Stone today.

[ddiiaa52]

[Donicababe]

Vicky Lawrence's Phyllis Diller is pure genius.

[Boobookitty39]

ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS!!

[Gathol]

[ddiiaa52]

I am so glad I found these..love Carol Burnett, and I just loved when she played Nora Desmond..hilarious!!

[mrmoony]

THIS is why Carol Burnett means so much to us that grew up in the 70's.

[ooo22222222]

[apokryltaros]

"We were just doing schtick..."

[poosaypirate]

[GWTW4EVR]

OMG--This is f***ing HILARIOUS!!! I just watched Sunset Boulevard, and my mother told me about Carol Burnett's famous impersonation. Vicki Lawrence and Harvey Korman are AWESOME, too!!

[gotalittlecaptain]

Nora Desmond and her crazy eyes! I've always had a soft spot for her and Max, they're hilarious.

[vintageglam521]

i love this spin on the roasts.

dean martin's roasts were hilarious.

[simcoxk]

How the hell did Steve Lawrence keep a straight face??? LOL LOL

[gringging]

Harvey Korman, bless your soul, I miss you already....What will we do without you and Dick Martin to poke fun at the windiest among us??

[atrybus]

"Back then they didn't need jokes, they had FACES!"

[careip]

[violinthief]

Harvey Korman was wonderful.

[Bluedanube36]

[rtwheels]

Tareltonlives it is Kojak not Cojac.

[ohreally2667]

Is this what Liza Minnelli is going to look like in a few years?

[RedLine1853]

I think Marilyn Manson stole his gimmick from the late Nora Desmond!....looks alot like him anyway

[hajune]

GREAT STUFF

[mikemiller1313]

anyone know who the two guys talking at the beginning are?

[Tabstarkin]

The host, "Jackie King", is played by Steve Lawrence, who's married to Edie Gorme; she played Marla Nelson in another skit I uploaded called "Stella In the Hospital." They were both on the Carol Burnett Show quite a bit.

I don't know the other guy's name, he was a 'Carol Burnett Player' throughout the run of the show.

[wmbrown6]

@Tabstarkin - I think it could be Ken Mars.

[sweeney60]

@Tabstarkin is it Lyell Wagner?

[linda1067]

@mikemiller1313 --The other man is Rich Little.

[wmbrown6]

@linda1067 - No, I think that looks like Kenneth Mars.

[volleychick225]

@mikemiller1313 steve lawrrence and harvey korman!

[bodyvegas]

@mikemiller1313 The bald guy in the skit is Harvey Korman! He was a regular on the show.

[guinhert]

VICKY AS PHYLLIS...XD!!!!!

[outinsider]

LOVE IT~!

[pleasefundmyfilm]

I don't know who is funnier in this, Carol or Harvey...

[FitzalandFontamallis]

Isn't this from Almira Desmond (or vice versa) from Looney Tunes

[chrisqdawgs]

No, it's a parody of the Norma Desmond character from "Sunset Boulevard."

[FitzalandFontamallis]

Oh, cool!! Thank you!! This one is best!!

[chrisqdawgs]

I had forgotten about this sketch. It's one of the funniest.

[FitzalandFontamallis]

I like the one where she "dies"!!! (NORA) And the Gone w/ the wind

[damstraight1]

Nora Desmond is my favorite Carol Burnett character also. This skit is one of my favorites, I've been quoting it for 30 years now...

[jeanandbilly]

Harvey Corman is hilarious and camp as ever!

Iadore him!Carol is perfect as usual.When I was growin up the show was a part of our family.We never missed an episode.

[KurtsSweater]

ROFL!! One of Carol's funniest characters

[vadude68]

I loved Carol as Nora Desmond.

[lilmizzie27]

You're saying that I'm bananas.

That I'm not playing with a full deck.

That I'm a nutburger.

... something I'm going to use someday.

[erzbet07]

Totally NUTSO..and I LOVED it! How much fun it was back in the day to watch Carol, Harvey, Lyle, Vicki and Tim on Carol's show. Wish they were still performing. Beats the trash called entertainment that's on tv nowadays. Thanks for posting this.

[ricoco1]

Got bored and switched off (after writing this)

[flirken]

"I don't like schtick, Max!" HONK!!!!!!!

[Guapodc]

I don't know why but Vicki Lawrence looking like Phyliss Diller is killing me. just hearing her laugh. ha ha ha ha

[Charliebub56]

This is my favorite Carol Burnett Show skit. SOOOOOOOOO funny!

[LMmccallL57]

I haven't seen this skit in years. I have several episodes on tape, but I don't think I have this one. Thanks soooo much for sharing! My face and stomach are hurting from laughing so hard!

[rickram1961]
