Wow… really interesting! Genius improvisation. And the timing between both of them is brilliant. Props to Carol for letting Robin run with it like that.
That’s a pro! Whenever Carol widened then crossed her eyes, she was trying not to laugh during the show! Watch how many times Robin makes her do this below!
Hilarious get-together by the masters of comedy! The year was 1986 when Carol Burnett teamed up with a few of her legendary friends for an hour-long music and comedy special. In the following video, we are treated to a hilarious yet rarely seen skit entitled “The Funeral” starring Carol Burnett and the late, great Robin Williams.
In 1986, Carol Burnett teamed up with a few of her famous friends for an hour-long music and comedy special. In the clip below, viewers are treated to a hilarious yet rarely seen sketch entitled “The Funeral” starring Carol Burnett and the late, great Robin Williams.
Robin — who was just 36 at the time — plays the role of Marcus, the eccentric friend of a recently deceased man. Marcus tries to comfort the man’s widow (played by Carol) and help her cope with the loss of her husband. The result is hysterical, and let’s just say his character needs to work on his therapy skills. Then, at 6:31, the two actors re-do the skit, and something magical happens. Carol is caught off-guard when Robin begins improvising his lines!
