November 13, 1976…Carol Burnett’s ‘Went With The Wind’ Sketch Debuted

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0dqnZ2qyj4&ab_channel=TimeLife

One of the funniest and most memorable moments in American television came to us 40 yeas ago today.

In the clip below, Carol talks about the sketch and the dress. In another interview, I’ve heard her say that only she and Harvey Korman had seen the Bob Mackie dress. She had to let Havey in on the site gag, or he would break up to and not be able to do his lines to set her up for the big payoff line, “I saw it in the window and couldn’t resist”. Harvey actually makes for a pretty convincing Rhett Butler doesn’t he? Have a laugh, enjoy and share! -Bobby Ellerbee

    In 2018, that dress will be part of a new exhibit at the Smithsonian Museum of American History in Washington.

    “I saw it in the window and I just couldn’t resist it!” One of TV comedy’s finest moments…and certainly one of Bob Mackie’s.

    That show was one of the best shows ever to hit TV. My favorite character on the show was Harvey Korman. When he laughed and went “up” the entire viewing audience would laugh also. How could they not. My favorite skit was the Adolph Hitler puppet skit with Harvey,Tim Conway and Lyle Wagoner.
