The Typists from The Carol Burnett Show (full sketch)

[@BeeKee404]

You know when you're watching geniuses performing when they can even make watching someone typing entertaining!

[@jonhohensee3258]

But it wasn't.

[@whoisneezy]

TV will never be this good again. And there will never be another woman like Bernadette Peters! Such a classic.

Thanks for answering my question. I was about to ask if that is Bernadette Peters. I agree with you.

[@ana419]

Or Carol Burnett

[@pocodfe]

The rehearsing for this must have been incredible. They are SO in sync, even their facial expressions. Only three minutes plus long, and it's 10 times better than any of today's garbage! Really funny stuff.

But somehow, it all looks better on Bernadette....

[@lovelybutterfly32]

So many people say this about today's shows verses the smutty trash they put on TV. I was just wonder if TV execs ever read these comments. But then I thought to myself even if they did they'd only do what they always do. Try to revive an old and ruin it the smut and pc of today, thus ruining the memory of that show.

[@paulvarn4712]

Love the relaxed and near perfect choreography. Rare these days.

It must have taken a lot of rehearsing to get the skit this well coordinated.

Carol is now 86 and Bernadette is now 72, so most their ages have retired, and now the office environment has changed so much! Most nowadays who work in offices have never even seen a typewriter. I’m from the era where we had typing class senior year, but we also had computer lab. One thing never changes - The Carol Burnett Show is still as entertaining as ever!

[@deenad3562]

*1974, Bernadette Peters was around 26, Carol around 40. Both still look amazing!*

[@susannaCdonovan23]

I was a typist (now called a transcriptionist) for almost 10 years, and this isn't too far from the truth...the office Gossip, the loafers, etc., and the swingers, and the non-swingers.

[@pocodfe]

It isn't too far from the truth at ANY office...lots of gossip and most of it is/was true.

[@susannaCdonovan23]

We had a few good lookers (guys), and yes, they were a distraction, and it was hard to resist looking at the eye candy...typing can be so boring.

[@RaymondHng]

Typing boring? You should try data entry.

[@susannaCdonovan23]

That's just typing in numbers? I typed Credit Reports for awhile, which drove me crazy, so yes that would be worse than typing claims reports, and accidental deaths, etc.

[@RaymondHng]

Depends on the batch of work. Sometimes, it's all numbers. Other times, it would be both. In high volume environments, it's "heads down data entry" where you're always looking at the source document and never at the screen. Data entry speed is expressed in thousands of keystrokes per hour. I use to maintain an average of 18,000 KPH.

[@RadioForYahweh]

Bernadette's voice is so lovely. Watched this multiple times in the past weeks

[@thomasfleig1184]

I have loved and had a crush on Bernadette since I was a kid. She's the total package. She can sing, dance, act and is sexy as hell. In top of that she hilarious. She's 70,and still looks great

Don't forget landline (probably rotary ones) and mechanical watches.

[@babawali3021]

Don't forget dictation equipment to record and transcribe outgoing letters, telegrams, book chapters, etc. Cassettes with recorded material were either regular size or micro-cassettes (about 1-1/2 inch long x 1 inch wide).

[@mena94x3]

Why isn't the late fabulous comedian Tim Conway listed as one of the main cast members in the video description above?? FYI, each show was videotaped twice in front of a live studio audience. The final dress rehearsal was first performed as scripted. But later when the final show was taped for national broadcast on CBS, Tim would usually improvise off-script and do his best to make the others (Carol, Vicki, Lyle and especially Harvey Korman) "break character" and start to laugh, with wonderful results. Tim was a genius in comedy.

[@ana419]

Wow, that is a very young Bernadette Peters! But I recognized her anyway from that way she talks. Must have been her first big break!
