If you’re a fan of “The Carol Burnett Show,” you know that it never failed to bring laughter and joy. And in this particular clip, Tim Conway had his co-stars in stitches with his brilliant improvisation.

During a sketch in which they were playing the game “Password,” Conway’s character, Mickey Hart, decided to share a hilarious story about a circus elephant. Carol Burnett, Vicki Lawrence, and Dick Van Dyke couldn’t help but burst out into uncontrollable laughter.

Conway’s story took an unexpected turn as he described a love affair between the elephant and its trainer. He even joked that they were buried together after their deaths. The other actors couldn’t hold it together, shaking and hiding their faces while trying to regain their composure.

You can imagine how infectious the laughter was, not only for the studio audience but also for the cast themselves. It’s moments like these that remind us why “The Carol Burnett Show” was such a hit.
