Tim Conway and World Famous Jockey Lyle Dorf | Carson Tonight Show

[@quietman71]

I remember seeing this when it first aired. My parents and I had tears streaming down our faces; we were screaming with laughter. Thirty-seven years later, and it still KILLS.

[@BAKER22-l4u]

Seriously? LMAO.. Sounds like you need some counseling

Such good times. Fond memories Tim Conway making our whole family burst into tears laughing. Thank you for allowing us to relive these hilarious moments.

[@JazTrance]

What a gem Tim Conway was 🥰

[@ernestpaul2484]

And still is. Videos like this will never let him leave our consciousness and will keep us laughing until our days on earth are done. Humor is the remedy for all of the things that ail us.

[@rickbateman2401]

These Lyle Dorf skits are brilliant but I think his best skit was the elephant skit on the Carol Bennett show.

[@princeharming8963]

This guy was SO smart.. and so fast.. and so nice. A true legend.

[@adminprime]

You will never see great comedy anymore. These were the golden years of pure comedy gold.

[@rickbateman2401]

You can still see great comedy, just not in anything produced for mainstream consumers.

[@chha6439]

Yep

[@delavalmilker]

You can tell that Johnny is enjoying Tim's antics just as much as the audience.

[@rocketmanstudio]

It’ll never be this simple, clean and hilarious period ever again… man I miss this era…

[@thedbcooperforum]

They would go after him making fun of short people...

[@catherinesvbialosh7260]

Both Legends and miss them so much!!

[@cynthiaslater7445]

This kind of comedy never gets old.

[@HRConsultant_Jeff]

Some men are just meant to make us laugh and Tim was one of the most inventive around.

[@randycliff4045]

These were great. I remember Dorf on Golf would have everyone near to tears.

[@hueychief]

I loved when my dad would let me stay up and watch Johnny. I usually never got any of the jokes, being so young, but watching my dad laugh was the best. I am so glad these are on YT so I can rewatch them. Dad is gone, but these clips make me feel like he's with me laughing again.

[@buck546]

Jonny and Tim and so many other great comedians were why life was so good back then. Back when Americans had the freedom to laugh and there was no political correctness in comedy. We all understood that eveyone and everything could be laughed at and we didn't take it personal. How I miss those days and all the freedoms we have foolishly surrendered. RIP Johnny and Tim and thanks for the laughs you are dearly missed.

[@michellemcferrin7759]

So much talent.. love Tim Conway

[@dianewinters8628]

The new generation have found the Dorf series online. Good comedy goes on forever.

[@DB-po8rs]

Fantastic 👏 👏 👏 They just don't make comedy like that anymore. Thanks for this 👍👍👍

[@deborahchadbourne6113]

I always have loved Tim Conway doing everything in his power to make Harvey Korman crack up 😂😅

[@Wookie8058]

Yeah.. It was said that he put his kids thru college with the bets he had with Harvey about not breaking up...

[@davidsmith385]

All Tim had to do was look at Harvey, he was done after that.😅

[@georgethomas276]

I would watch Dorf with my grandmother and we'd laugh and laugh. Conway was a great talent.

[@bevn362]

Johnny approaching Lyle they don’t even need to say anything…one look at Lyle and I burst out laughing. The sketch is icing on the cake.

[@gwidwock]

That was the funnest damn thing I's seen in a loooong time. Tim Conway as the little jockey was hysterical. Thank you for posting this!

[@douglaskennedy10]

I really miss you Tim. You were so funny and i lived in Chagrin Falls, Ohio too. Remember you awarding my dog as best in shoe and talking with you awhile. Loved it!

[@jeffreyjeziorski1480]

I believe Chagrin Falls was featured on a documentary called "As the Stomach Turns".

[@leilanirocks]

I still remember how hilarious it was the first time I saw this bit. Tim is the ultimate at sight gags and he has come up with the ultimate sight gag in Dorf. He has all the moves down and plays it to perfection. With the extended lead-in and then of course nobody but nobody sets it all up like Johnny, the best straight man a guy could ever have. I miss these guys a lot but they are still making me laugh, long after they have gone. 😂😂😂

[@alan30189]

They call it “physical comedy” and Tim was the best ever

[@gilactico]

Comedy like this never ages ,🙂.

[@Moose46316]

I miss Johnny. Nobody was better than Johnny

[@gustafsone]

I absolutely love this! The interview itself was great, but the sketch at the end kind of absolves Harvey Korman from all of the many, many, times that Tim broke him into a million pieces. Johnny played a great straight-man in every comedy sketch I've seen on his show, but Tim almost immediately made him break in this one, lol! I mean, I don't blame him at all. I would have lost it. Tim Conway was the best!

[@frankiefelinesalwayswelcom5825]

Tim Conway always was hilarious at anything he did. Always enjoyed Ed McMann’s giggle in the background on the Carson show.

[@suzannebenz8928]

Tim was such a treat to hear and watch!!!!

[@namj8145]

Once saw Tim at an event where he posed for a photo with a short, chubby, slobbish girl. Her photo didn't turnout good, so she asked "Can I get a new photo with you?" Tim looked puzzled, then asked "You want a nude photo with me?" She said no, a 'new' photo. He said "Oh, I thought you said nude." He then looked over at me, made his eyes big as saucers, blew a big breath out his pursed lips and said "Whew!" I almost cried laughing, and still think of that moment all the time. And I burst out laughing each time. 🤣🤣🤣

[@richardgornalle4536]

A genuinely funny man.

[@onamattapeeya]

Dorf was comedy gold.

[@cashmeremonroe7715]

I guess I didn't realize how funny he was. Hilarious! His son is on the radio now. Equally talented and the voice is the same.

Tim Conway: Comedic Genius ‼️

[@NVArt001]

Tim Conway was a national treasure.

[@domingofernandez789]

Tim Conway was the American Stan Laurel. One of the best ever. I still see him in the re-runs of the Carol Burnett shows in a local TV Station here in the town I live and I have seen those episodes more than a dozen times and I never get tired. Comedy is basically dead at the present time and no wonder Americans do not smile anymore.

[@anim8torfiddler871]

Wonderful. THANK YOU.

[@holysmoker10]

Simply the best, Johnny when late night TV was actually funny

He's always soooo hysterical and clever. You can't watch without lots of laughing. Incredible and sweet guy.

[@haydenwayne3710]

My, my. This has got to be one of the funniest bits!

[@ceretomer5987]

I believe that Tim Conway was one of the best physical comedians of all time, even better than Charley Chaplin all others. All I had to do was look at him and start chuckling.

[@20alphabet]

No politics or perverse agenda pushing, just plain silliness.

[@pyroheep7497]

What ever happened to GOOD TV!

[@terri6854]

But there was. Not swearing and not working blue were the "woke" concepts of those times. ie., "That behavior offends my feelings so you must not do it, and if you do do it you'll never work again".

We only have five channels back in the day and we were so excited to watch Saturday night and no one was allowed to answer the phone during that time. It’s so sad that comedy these days has to have a cuss word every other word. Back then it was pure clean entertainment

OMG I had forgotten about these skits! I guarantee that Carson's appreciation for Carol Burnett went up even higher once he experienced what she had to deal with every week with Tim.

Imagine being able to sit down with the kids and watch something that was so funny it would keep you in tears of joy and not having to wonder how vulgar or sexual it was going to be for your kids to watch. No woke crap, no vulgar skits or language, just pure comedy.

[@MAB-y7o]

Remember Sat nights! The line up was I think Carol Burnett, Bob Newhart, Mary Tyler More and the Saturday Night Live when it was funny and not gross. Nobody went out Sat night. Even dates would just come over and we all watched TV and laughed away Sat Night. It was fun!
