@@fjccommish - Yes, Robin did rehearse the material for his shows endlessly. He also had "stored" responses to questions or statements that regularly came up during interviews (or he would respond with show material). There was also much ad-libbing. However, there are many interviews and talk shows during which Robin was continuously ad-libbing. Watch him with Billy Crystal on the Jay Leno show when there was an electrical power problem. Watch him with Johnny Carson, particularly the earlier shows. Most of that was ad-lib. Watch his comedy club acts before he became a household name: Rehearsed material followed by ad-libbing as he walked through the audience. Good Morning, Vietnam: Most of the on-air patter was ad-lib. They put him on the set and let the cameras roll. Robin produced hours of material from which the scenes in the movie were cut and spliced. Same with Aladdin. If my memory serves, Robin produced about 14 hours of non-rehearsed material. He would be given the scene set-up and feed a character's line and off Robin would go! The animation was finished after the director selected the audio. NOTE: If you are a Robin Williams fan, I really encourage you to watch it. The title is "Robin Williams & Billy Crystal Leno Tonight Show 1997."

And she kept the scene going. The leads however were not as good as Williams and Conway so the scene was bland.

The chemistry two comedians like this share is not something that can be described.... you just have to see it unfold while sending waves of laughter over an audience. Natural character can not be learned.... it’s really instinct at it best. An artist such as Carol has the ability to absorb the spontaneous lines a genius like Robin could throw her way. When the ad-lib on the second scene happens at the casket ... THAT is the EXACT reason I watch, over and over and over... these highly intelligent entertainers. The cast of The Golden Girls, Alice, The Jefferson’s, Three’s Company, and All in the Family are in this class. They are natural characters that take brilliant writing and it even more “brilliant-er.”

I know there are talented comedians now, but I sure miss the classics sometimes. There was a lot of innuendo, but it still felt safe. Idk, maybe I lived in a bubble growing up in the late 60s and 70s, but I thought grown-ups knew what was going on, would take care of the bad guys/world crisis/natural disaster/all the "ism's," and make it all better. So I figured in the meantime, after Dad watched Walter, they (whoever They were) said, "Here's some laughs before bedtime." I miss that innocence. 😔

Yes, what an amazing talented man. Everytime I see one his skits, he cracks me up and then I feel a little sad bc there will be no more from him. But I am so grateful we have what we do have! Carol Burnett always had great comediens - Tim Conway, Harvey Korman... But Robin Williams is defintely one of the greatest!
Watching Carol Burnett try to keep it together when Robin Williams is on a roll is comedy gold.
She got a lot of practice with Tim and Harvey.
I really miss this man. The world is a little darker because he’s no longer in it. 😥
A lot darker.
So true. I started watching him on Mork and Mindy when I was 6 years old. His timing was perfection.
Such a loss.
Massively darker...
Darker, a little darker massively darker? Those feelings were probably factors that cost him his life. Don't go there.
Two comedic geniuses at the height of their craft. It is so cool to see how they ad lib and feed off of one another in a live situation. I could not stop laughing. When I think of either Carol or Robin it brings a smile. This is the Robin Williams I will remember. Thank you Carol and Robin for bringing so much laughter into my life.
Kudos to the producers who approved that amazing symbiotic duo, it was well worth the effort ! 🥰
😊😊😊😊5
At the height of their craft? Robin Williams was practically a newcomer. If I'm not mistaken, he hadn't even made "Moscow On The Hudson" yet. He had only done Mork on "Happy Days", barely started "Mork & Mindy", a starred in "The World According To Garp"!
Can you just imagine if Robin and Tim Conway had done the elephant sketch? LOL Comedy sure isn't what it used to be. Love these guys.
@@Nacho-Mamma, this is from 1987, not from the '70s version of the show.
Robin gets Carol to laugh when he sings the jump down turn around song and then to see him smile as he realizes she is trying to hold back the laughter is a great moment.
It was the greatest moment of the video. She is a seasoned professional; it was quite a compliment to the greatest ad libber of all time. And as a substitution for "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" -- at a funeral -- it was totally outrageous. I was laughing so hard I almost missed her reaction and long recovery attempt. His smile was beautific.
It was magic that this generation won't know. But you can see the light and the fun in their eyes. It tells you the comedy magic that was happening. We knew. We lived it. Thank you to the legends.
Open
And leave to to Carol to make a snappy come back to stop Robin in his tracks. LOL. It takes a great talent to stun Robin. So may HUGE laughs came from one liners on the Carol Burnette show that put everyone in the floor. The biggest one from the Mama knows best scene with Tim and the elephant story.
@@pwphotography2054 It's a shame she wasn't a semi-semiregular on Mork & Mindy. Her, Vicki, Tim and Harvey.

And at 90 still going strong
Always loved Carol Burnett show she is a fabulous entertainer a wonderful comedian! I watch the reruns! And I love Robin Williams he was such an amazing actor a very funny man. I've watched all the movies he's been in such an amazing actor. When you put Carol Burnett and Robin Williams together you got a fabulous team! Robin Williams is missed by many many people. God bless both of them!
First was funny...second was HILARIOUS. Robin took the small bits of dead air in the first scripted sketch and made them amazing. Carol's energy in the improv was great too.
Carol understood the comedic value of inserting the absurd and downright bizarre in slice of life sketches. I bet this was a real treat for her.
Hello Elizabeth How are you doing today?
True, she's not dead yet. Wrong tense!
Mr Williams, you were ahead of your time, your improv skills are unequaled, you are missed!

Robin was perfect for this skit! Thank you so much for posting this. And of course, thank you Robin for making us all laugh so hard. You will be forever remembered and missed!
His improv was rehearsed. I once saw him on the Tonight Show and Arsenio at the same time. His "improvised" lines were exactly the same on both. The questions asked by Johnny/Arsenio were the same.
@@fjccommish do you think he rehearsed his ad libs in, as examples, "Good Morning Viet Nam", "Aladdin", or "Mrs Doubtfire"?
@@TampaDave Yes - endlessly.
@@fjccommish - Yes, Robin did rehearse the material for his shows endlessly. He also had "stored" responses to questions or statements that regularly came up during interviews (or he would respond with show material). There was also much ad-libbing. However, there are many interviews and talk shows during which Robin was continuously ad-libbing. Watch him with Billy Crystal on the Jay Leno show when there was an electrical power problem. Watch him with Johnny Carson, particularly the earlier shows. Most of that was ad-lib. Watch his comedy club acts before he became a household name: Rehearsed material followed by ad-libbing as he walked through the audience. Good Morning, Vietnam: Most of the on-air patter was ad-lib. They put him on the set and let the cameras roll. Robin produced hours of material from which the scenes in the movie were cut and spliced. Same with Aladdin. If my memory serves, Robin produced about 14 hours of non-rehearsed material. He would be given the scene set-up and feed a character's line and off Robin would go! The animation was finished after the director selected the audio. NOTE: If you are a Robin Williams fan, I really encourage you to watch it. The title is "Robin Williams & Billy Crystal Leno Tonight Show 1997."
@@fjccommish Why the need to diminish... or was it, you were actually there while he rehearsed and experienced it and grew tired of the repetitiveness during rehearsal?
Carol Burnett is very cool. To take on Robin in improvisation takes an adventurous and confident heart. Love them both
World so empty without Robin Williams... Master of a Keen sense of HUMOUR💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💞💞💞💞💞
We miss Robin, no one could improv like him and he was always hilarious!!!❤❤❤
After sooo many years I still can't think of a funnier female comedian than Carol. Losing Robin was heartbreaking. Watching these two together makes me wish he had appeared on her show more times because the timing and rhythm between these two couldn't have been any better. Love you Carol!! RIP Robin
Phyllis Diller comes to mind. She was a trailblazer,,and a great clean comedian.

"You gotta jump down, spin around, pick a bail o' cotton" -Carol, looking away and pinching her nose to try to keep from bursting out laughing. It's incredible that Williams was just making all this up on the spot as he went along with the basic story line.
Based on here introduction, he already had some of the things he wanted to do worked out, probably including that song. But the filler -- that's where the real ad-libbing is, and between the two of them it's genius. I barely laughed at the first "take," but the second one was absolutely hilarious.
@@angelbear_og A loose outline of how the sketch would go with general lines, most likely, with the rest being improv. At best they probably wrote in a few jokes here and there, but it would defeat the point of the show if they were too restrictive.
This was 17 years ago? I’m watching it now and it’s April of 2024! 🤗❣️❣️❣️

Two of the most funniest ever......humanity has lost something with comedians nowadays - this had an innocence to it and LOVE how he was able to include even funnier words in the second round.
"Too much coffee Susan?".... Oh, her face after that line.
Truly amazing. She makes him laugh so good that he insists doing the scene again just to get her back... and he succeeds, but then she has her revenge too. What chemistry!

I grew up watching Carol Burnett, and was aware of Robin Williams through his show 'Mork and Mindy'. I never did get to see this skit until now.
Me too. I first loved him in mork and mindy, then his movies.!!😊🙂
One of a kind forever!! Rest in paradise Robin.... I'll never forget him on. " In the Actor's Studio " . omgoodness... The on the fly humour was so incredible... Also, " Mrs. Doubtfire ". Brillant!
This skit isn't from The Carol Burnett Show. It was part of a one hour comedy special that aired on ABC in February 1987 called "Carol, Carl, Whoopi and Robin". The entire show was great.
The brilliant improvisation of Robin Williams combined with the comic genius and pitch-perfect timing of Carol Burnett= excellence. His single line: There's some coffee in the embalming room but it tastes funny...omg. He was simply a born comedian and Carol? Well, basically what can anyone say. except thank you so much for the memories and the reminder of Robin, gone too soon.
Hello Cynthia, How are you doing?
Yeah, next to Carol struggling not to laugh, and possibly the outrageous song substitution, the coffee line was one of the most hilarious of the video. With the warning "Be careful."
@@TampaDave 9:20 The absolute dead pan look on Robins face when Carol imitated the hamster claws...and then his followup with, "Too much coffee Susan?". Masterful....

It's fascinating how the lines Robin Williams improved were consistently better than the ones an entire team of writers had an entire week to come up with. He really had an incredible comedic mind and a very quick witted one to boot.
Chanclas pp
That was the genius of Robin Williams, instant thoughts, lines, funny and funny. I think he took drugs to slow his brain down.
Yes much better
I actually saw one producer on a talk show once that said that often they just had Robin's character on the script and "ad lib" typed in because Robin never missed a beat and it was always awsome! :)
@@maggieherbord3043, actually it was on Mork And Mindy. They would set up the scene, then the next page just had "Robin goes crazy" written on it.
A little over 30 years ago, I watched a Mother's Day special that included Robin Williams and his mother. SHE is where Robin got his comedic ad lib chops. What a funny, wonderful woman... In an interview, she had Robin -- and me -- in stitches. What a gift she gave us in her son -- and what a loss to the world it was when he passed away. If the measure of one's life is to have left the world better than one found it, Robin and his mother succeeded spectacularly.
One problem with this scene is...where do you go from here? Williams and Burnett together, PURE GOLD!!!
Got to give Carol Burnett a lot of credit for this skit. This stuff could only happen on her show. She recognised William’s talent before he became a huge hit. A lost venue for creativity.
I love that she started holding her nose to keep from laughing.

So true, I remember the day of his passing, reading it on a newsstand here in San Francisco, on our way to sausolito for a last taste of Summer before school started, I still think I am going to run into him at the caffe trieste, or on Columbus avenue or in an improv class at fort Mason, or, in Green Apple books. What wonderful comments these are, I feel I can grieve here in community. He left us so much! The Mrs doubtfire house is still often crowded with people around it, looking to touch his spark that generously ignited all of us who love him. Yes, you rest brother. We love you.

ThatClassic70sGirl If that was his best I am thankful I have not seen his worst!
Lord Eden All I meant was that I related more to his earlier days when he played 'Mork' on TV; and the comedy skits that were clean and could be watched and enjoyed by the entire family.
ThatClassic70sGirl It wasn't about his earlier days or later days. When he was on network TV, he was clean. But if anything, he was far MORE adult oriented with his own act in the 70s.
FuckYouGooglePlus Well based on your username, I guess you'd find his "adult oriented" act (with the f-bombs and other off-color humor) as preferable. That's just not my style. Btw, nice sentiment. I can relate to your sense of frustration, if not the phraseology.

I would have never thought those two would have such great chemistry.
Carol Burnett was renowned for her ad libbing whenever an actor missed a line during the early days of television. I saw a documentary where the leads of a (local?) tv show told the audience they were going to deliberately screw up their lines just to show off Burnett's improve skills. And she kept the scene going. The leads however were not as good as Williams and Conway so the scene was bland.
One of my happiest memories is me hearing my mother's giggles coming from another room I always knew she would be watching Carol and friends I thank Carol for the laughter that she gave to my mother .
"is he in here?" OMFG......that was great.
"WHAT???" *SLAM!!!* LOL!!!
8:07, I almost choked on my coffee I laughed so hard. Two comedy legends feeding off each other. Their chemistry was excellent, and Carol really got Robin at the end.
You could say he really got _her_ at the end. And appreciated the compliment.
"nature's way of saying 'check, please'" XD "Death walks up and says your table's ready" lmao!
I love the little stare-off near the end, like they were both trying to see who would crack first.
Great the first time and just killed it the second time!
There will never be another ROBIN WILLIAMS🤩😬🤗🙃
The 2nd version is hilarious. He sticks to the script enough so she has guidelines. To think he came up w that on the fly wow. He was brilliantly funny😁
Some of his best work is like that but he probably practiced at home lol
He was a king of improv comedy! It was almost scary how fast he could come up with material.
@Mom Of Three It exists.
@Mom Of Three search for Robin Williams on Whose Line Is It Anyway with Drew Carey
No one comments that she was bleeped for saying "bullshit".
This is fantastic... reminds me of some of the miserable conversations I've had with people who wanted to hear every last gruesome detail of the loss of a friend ... love how Burnett and Williams did this!
The second run through was funnier than the first,comic genius !
Hello Lydia, How are you doing?
@@kellyofuller4974She’s great without old men hitting her up! Nobody wants your old balls dude so give it up! This isn’t a dating app so stop hitting on the 10 women I’ve seen you post the same comment on, Douchebag!
I just found this video about 2 months ago and have watched it at least 50 times. Loved this man . He still is making us laugh on earth while he entertains in Heaven.😀❤️
Kathleen
@@davelamore6309Hey Creepo, Are you gonna reach out to every woman on here you f’n hornball POS?! Go get on a dating app, dipshit and leave these women alone!
Jarrett Duffey I'm sure he was so pleased with himself for making Carol Burnett laugh! That's what comedians live for - to make people laugh. But when they make a master at their craft laugh, they must be floating in air.
She was laughing so hard on the second take at the coffin, when he sang "Pick a bale o' Cotton". The smile on his face looked like he was experiencing one of the best moments of his life, pure joy at having made a master comedienne crack up. I loved every second of this performance.
Suzanne i was thinking the same thing lol
God ! I loved Robin Williams !!He was brilliant . I don’t think there will ever be another person with his brilliance and comedic timing. So sadddd/ but he left the world a better place just by being here. I’m sure that was his purpose in life.
She got him too. They're both greats and legendary..
Carol Burnett was famous for not wanting any breaks - they happened anyway of course because all of those people we genius-level talent - but she worked so hard to control them. She honestly did a masterful job here, but the most-classic example can be found by searching KZhead for "tim conway elephant" Anyway
"You gotta jump up, turn around, take a bale of cotton!" OMG! Hilarious. You can see Carol trying to stifle her laughter.
I thought she was gonna loose it but after years of working with Tim & Harvey she's a pro. Wouldn't be able to say most of this on tv now, you'd be called racist. Funny thing is tho, they bleeped out "bullshit" at the end but all the stuff certain people would call racist stayed in. Times change
@@mszoomy It really could be considered racist, but Robin Williams didn't mean it that way.
@@ellenhage3611 no he didn't, just commenting on how things have changed
@@mszoomy That's your opinion.
@@ellenhage3611 not really an opinion, it's fact, things have changed, things that weren't really considered "racist" back then is today. I mean come on, Aunt Jemima isn't on a bottle idvsyrup anymore because it's "racist" LOL
What great comedy talents. I had no idea they had done anything together. Outstanding!!!! RIP Robin, gone far too soon.
Hello Kathy How are you doing today?
They threw the mould away when they made Robin Williams. An amazing and very funny man.
Whenever Carol widened then crossed her eyes, she was trying not to laugh during the skit (She admitted this on Jimmy Fallon). Watch how many times Robin makes her do this... GOD I MISS HIM... But we still have Carol Burnett and Betty White.
+William Cooper He was brilliant, a genius... gone too soon.
Kelly Hope I agree totally...
+William Cooper Thank you for bit of info, nice to know.
Thanks William.
MomoJJ a
"You gotta jump up an' down picka bale o' cotton..." Why were these two so good together? Hilarious.
LOVE that Ms. Burnett could keep up with Mr. Williams...match him, measure for measure...there are a precious few who could do that
She got him! Carol Burnett got the greatest improvisational actor of all-time Robin Williams! I've watched nearly every video of Robin Williams ever filmed and the only two times I can remember Robin cracking was with his mother and now this one with Carol Burnett. Two of the greatest ever!
This has to be my all time favourite sketch of hers, priceless, seen it many times, and gets me everytime, love it!!!
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
This was so funny I have tears of laughter running down my face. I would have loved to see Robin Williams and Tim Conway in the same skit. I don't think any one would have been able to keep a straight face.
Hello Beth
I just thought the same thing then I read your comment LoL
Indeed not!
There’s no way Tim Conway would have been able to keep a straight face. 😆
Robin Williams was a genius comedian, it just flows so naturally for him, I love him and he will forever be missed ❤
The chemistry two comedians like this share is not something that can be described.... you just have to see it unfold while sending waves of laughter over an audience. Natural character can not be learned.... it’s really instinct at it best. An artist such as Carol has the ability to absorb the spontaneous lines a genius like Robin could throw her way. When the ad-lib on the second scene happens at the casket ... THAT is the EXACT reason I watch, over and over and over... these highly intelligent entertainers. The cast of The Golden Girls, Alice, The Jefferson’s, Three’s Company, and All in the Family are in this class. They are natural characters that take brilliant writing and it even more “brilliant-er.”
I have to remember that, "Thank you for coming is code for go away now!!!!" I have some people I need to use that on.
Me too
I grew up watching Carol, she always makes me laugh
Hello Christine, How are you doing?
@@kellyofuller4974Give it a rest, you old fart!
He was a genius in his role in "Good Will Hunting"... In fact all the roles he played...no other actor could possibly be as great... Love and miss him....
And at the end of this video, I am sure Robin didn’t expect THAT from Carol. Two creative genius minds at work!
Carol, Harvey, Tim, Vicki, Lyle and her incredible guest stars...such as the legendary Mr Williams, never disappointed. I know there are talented comedians now, but I sure miss the classics sometimes. There was a lot of innuendo, but it still felt safe. Idk, maybe I lived in a bubble growing up in the late 60s and 70s, but I thought grown-ups knew what was going on, would take care of the bad guys/world crisis/natural disaster/all the "ism's," and make it all better. So I figured in the meantime, after Dad watched Walter, they (whoever They were) said, "Here's some laughs before bedtime." I miss that innocence. 😔
Biasoenoe
Those were the days..... I watch certain channels on TV that play the classics. I can't watch the news or the crap they call comedy today. I wish we could go back in time.
Ralphie Mae is pretty dam funny!!
This is a classic! Two wonderful comic geniuses sharing a stage. Love it. Thanks for posting.
Carol Burnette collies the heck of Williams’ serve. There were two titans there, and so much respect.
I thought I’d seen all of Carol Burnett. This duo is something I don’t recall and was surprised to see.
Carol Burnett!! Gosh how i miss her show!! I always loved when they cracked each other up and they did it on purpose too!! Thank you. I needed this today.
Carol & Robin melded together so perfectly in "The Funeral". How wonderful is it that she would do the sketch a second time, allowing Robin to do what he built up his career doing so perfectly. I don't think people realize that he only had to go through his lines usually just once, and knew the lines of practically everyone in the scene. He was brilliant in most everything he did.
Oh my heavens 😂 Robin Williams (RIP), and Carol Burnett indeed two of the greatest comedians 💓🥳🥳🥳
Robin was a gift to the world. There will never be another....
I wish they'd left a few more seconds at the end of the skit. The look on Robin's face when Carol says 'bullshit' is priceless.
moviedetective303 Thanks! I knew I had seen this before & this got cut short! 🙏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
moviedetective303 Just watched that full one! Thanks BEST EVER! HILARIOUS!
moviedetective303 Awe it’s been removed 😞
Yap, I thought the same thing!
That's what I was thinking. It cut off and I was like "shit".
Watch closely folks and you will see 2 masters of comedy at work! Absolutely hilarious! I never saw this skit before I came across it here on KZhead. Many thanks to Mr. Begbie for uploading it.
I saw this live and had no damned clue who this crazy guy was, but laughed my ass off.
