Tim Conway’s “rookie angel” routine leaves Harvey Korman completely undone, doubled over in unstoppable laughter

As a rookie angel, Tim Conway has Harvey Korman laughing uncontrollably in a brilliantly chaotic sketch. These two comedy icons create pure magic as they take on the roles of celestial coworkers, with Tim’s wonderfully awkward behavior sending Harvey into repeated fits of laughter. Watch the short clip to see how Tim’s perfectly timed mishaps crack Harvey up again and again.

The Carol Burnett Show remains one of the most consistently funny programs ever produced. Even decades after leaving the air, its endless stream of unforgettable skits can still keep audiences laughing from start to finish. It’s a timeless show that continues to entertain generation after generation.

And while the entire series is filled with gems, the standout moments almost always came when Tim and Harvey shared the stage. Tim’s unpredictable, off-the-wall humor regularly pushed Harvey past the point of staying in character, sending him into genuine, uncontrollable laughter.

In this resurfaced clip, Tim appears as a rookie angel arriving for duty, while Harvey plays the seasoned veteran who’s just been informed he’s getting a new cloudmate. Harvey’s frustration is immediate, as he already senses he’ll be stuck showing the newcomer how things work—and he’s absolutely right.

Tim steps off the celestial elevator with his luggage and begins circling Harvey in confusion, instantly unraveling the older angel’s patience. After a brief flare of irritation, Harvey forces himself to welcome his new partner to their heavenly quarters.

With just a few awkward expressions and timid lines, Tim instantly sends Harvey into another burst of laughter—proof of how effortlessly he could derail even the most seasoned comedians.

From there, everything only spirals further. Tim tries hard to fit in and contribute, but every attempt ends in delightful disaster, much to Harvey’s dismay and the audience’s joy.

Job 8:21 “The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.”
