Carol Burnett ruled prime time comedy with her sketch series The Carol Burnett Show from 1967 to 1978. The show featured a regular cast of veteran comedians and guest stars. The sketches included recurring characters, ad libs, and a tendency for the cast to lose their composure. Today we would call it "corpsing," and it was often funnier than the script. Laughter is contagious, you know.
Carol Burnett celebrated her 90th birthday on Wednesday. There is no better way to pay tribute to this remarkable comedian than to watch her at work. The Carol Burnett Show's official YouTube channel compiled a collection of the best instances of contagious laughter getting out of control on the set. (via Born in Space)
