One in this series of talk shows in which host Alan King chats with professionals about the art of comedy. King's guests for this edition are comedians Tim Conway and Harvey Korman. They discuss the following topics, among others: their comedic chemistry, as established during many years together on "The Carol Burnett Show"; their first meeting on "The Danny Kaye Show"; why Conway often declined to rehearse with the other performers on Burnett's show; surprising his co-stars with jokes and funny actions in front of the audience; Conway's upbringing in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, with his opinionated Irish father; developing his sense of humor at school to cover for his struggles with dyslexia; Korman's gradual discovery of humorous aspects in his "tragic" Chicago childhood; how he arrived at comedy after first pursuing dramatic acting; their unfortunate stand-up comedy experiences; Korman's contentment with being a straight man and the "premiere second banana" to the comedy world's "great clowns"; the inspiration behind the "Mr. Tudball and Mrs. Wiggins" sketch, in which Conway's oddly accented businessman was constantly frustrated by his incompetent secretary (Burnett); the origins of Conway's shuffling old man character, Duane Toddleberry; the skill required to take a comedic sketch "one beat too far"; Korman's other roles and why he dislikes the "father figure" aspects of directing; a funny story from Conway's early days as a director of a local news program; Korman taking joy in his relaxing, family-centered life; why Conway likes "being in the middle," career-wise; and whether they will reunite for one last comedy project. Scenes from "The Carol Burnett Show" and "Carol Burnett and Friends" are interspersed throughout the program.
