What a wonderful story. Thank you for sharing it here. Is there any way you have it online so we all can enjoy your handiwork/tribute???

That's a great story, thanks for sharing it! I'm glad you got to finally make your dream come true, in your mom's memory....

how beautiful 🕊

Wow 😯

So cool!

It really does

There is a Korean drama running right now called My Dearest that is based loosely on Gone with the Wind. It's really good. 😊

Oprah stole that "whoaaaaaa!" she does at the beginning

He looked like a latter-day Clark Gable circa 1960's "The Misfits." It was uncanny.

When I see this show I am 14 again ... thank you Carole Burnett & Company, you made my youth!

The “look away” part of Dixie killed me. 😂 Harvey was perfect.

A lot of what these guys did was ad lib.

and he looks very handsome

He told a very funny story about that. He was panicking in his dressing room, because he couldn't find the voice for the character. Nothing he tried worked. But when he went ahead and put on the mustache, suddenly he voice came to him! He said the feel of the mustache on his face put him into that character.

He always got the clue of the part or person he played-Rhett was one of his best-I watched this show every week

You were so lucky to have worked with these legends!!!

Those where the days!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No one will ever forget the curtain rod dress either 😛

I am soooo pleased to hear this. Ms Burnett is one of my favorites. I watched her show with the family on Sat. Night and loved it! I had thought I wanted to be a background dancer on a variety show for years. Life had other ideas. Lol thanks for your comments.

That is awesome sauce.

YES GENIUS because we of course expected Harvey to say it a funny way! When Vicki suprisingly said it after the slap OMG died laughing because Sissy was abused throughout the skit and got her revenge!

Absolutely ! Vicki is rocking in this sketch !

Same!

And go without my grits.....

​@@beckypalmer85112:57 and 9:31 *_"MISS STAHLET!!! MISS STAHLET!!! MISS STAHLET!!! MISS STAHLET!!! MISS STAHLET!!! MISS STAHLET!!! MISS STAHLET!!!"_*

Peter Formaini Agreed.

Gv

LoL

Best sight gag ever.

Cannot watch the scene in the actual movie without thinking of that line!

Dang that dress must've been heavy

It's at 16:52.

His reaction while carrying her up the stairs was so funny. "I'm pooped!"

Just sitting watching by myself and this whole show cracked me up! There will never be anyone like Carol Burnett.

It is just brilliant!

I remember too! I laughed til I had no air left.

Beautifully said.

you do know thats what Scarlett actually did

My favorite.😁

And the sketch actually got the story RIGHT - in capsulized form! Its _essence_ is all included!

Deborah Hoffman How did they ever keep a straight face???

You won't be allowed to watch Gone With the Wind again.

Bernard Brenner Oh, we shall find a way!

@@corvettedm1 you can see at times they could hardly get through it...this is priceless

I was so impressed with Mr Korman's portrayal of Rhett.

We must be about the same age. I have fond memories of watching when I was almost 13. Hard to believe over 40 years have past. I still find it hilarious!

I was 6 we all laughed so hard. Best memories ❤❤❤

WHAT do YOU know!?

That's about how old I was, too. I don't remember laughing so hard before or since when she came out wearing THAT dress.

Me too!

And they were smart enough to avoid makeup letting viki's acting carrying the part.

🤣🤣🤣☠️☠️☠️

Called Pittypat in the book iirc.

@@spiritmatter1553 Pittypat was Scarlett's aunt.

@@spiritmatter1553 Actually it was Prissy.

crazyphan18 inuse that regularly in life haha. “Well that’s nice but it doesn’t answer my question”.

I forgot about that line until I watched this again recently. I am going to start using that, too! It is a great response to people who do not want to answer your question and attempt to distract you with flattery or some such tactic.

That's Tru deau!

I agree completely. Tim Conway, Harvey Korman and Carol Burnett are icons in the world of comedy

Yes he would.so funny.😁😂

Korman out-Gabled Gable!

I got to see the entire outfit in person (at a Bob Mackie exhibit in Atlantic City). It was epic!

@@PaperMate-zz4vt Oh yes indeedy, a classic for sure! (forgive the late comment, sometimes i don't get around to checking if anyone has replied to my comments)

Tim Conway as Simba the lion in the Born Free spoof is gold

Agreed ...Sissy and the I don't give a damn closer was sheer comedy genius.

it's genius, and a bit of relief in two ways. I know it's a dicey thing to judge a book or movie by modern day standards, but both Rhett's "hey, you destroyed my love for you" when he was just as cutting and dismissive as Scarlet, and how the slaves were depicted, is a bit creepy. So, watching him get a face slammed into his face, and Sissy shutting up the spoiled southern Belle, is just pure bliss.

So very true...especially back in those times, when saying the word "damn" was considered very shocking, and if it could be said, it had to be cleared by CBS executives, and they could only say it a certain number of times. (The Family sketches pushed that envelope the most...lol) So, when Carol cuts of Harvey from saying the word "damn," back in those times we all just assumed it wasn't allowed, because it really was rare. So when Vicki says it, it just blows that theory out of the water and makes it that much more hilarious!!

Her first lines and energy in this were gutbustin

Ms. Lawrence was often the person who stole the scenes, an absolutely brilliant comedic actor! She was also very pretty, I think most people overlooked that part of her, too.

@@ckm3094 Vicki Lawrence got her start by winning a Carol Brunette look a like contest.

@@SethBrundleify They did sort of look alike, especially since they usually had the same color hair and style. I never knew that, thank you!

@@SethBrundleify I hope you don't mind, I looked your channel, you have some great works on there! Would you mind if I subscribed?

Comedic genius was in every department on that show. Mackie's idea for including the curtain rod on that dress and the Wiggins walk he suggested for Carol when choosing that skirt were sheer genius.

Yes, he said it will be ensconced on his tomb stone

She once said in an interview it really was a curtain she thought of it last second and shocked everyone..

And what a legacy that is! We should all be so lucky.

Mary Kay Gerrets It’s Mackie and him saying that’s a tall order given he’s done Cher’s clothes for years and THOSE pretty iconic in their own right

She does physical comedy so incredibly well.

I watched it as a child and, for obvious reasons, that went right over my head as well

I had forgotten that line. Love how they just slipped it in.

My favorite line in this by far

I think I get it? Because his army burned so many cities? I think?...

Yes,in his March to the Atlantic Ocean. He burned down Atlanta, which was where most of Gone With the Wind was set. They called it Sherman's March to the Sea.

Trixieb Beldon Until Trump and his 5 wives came South; that is, Ivana, Marla, Ivanka(wink, wink), Kellyann, and of course, that most faithful of all, LindsayG.

Agreed. I was maybe 13 or so when this show was introduced to me on Nick at Night and thank goodness. So funny.

Trixieb Beldon meh it’s not that funny, it’s over acting. I find Kids In The Hall and MadTv funny, not this. Oh it’s a lil bit funny, but not lol funny.

@@JustanotherLiz It's called farce and you have to be familiar with the movie they are parodying. It's hilarious. KITH and Mad came much later and are funny, but any of them would kill for a classic tv comedy moment like this. You're just young, but you'll grow of out it.

My mother roared with laughter, too! I was a young teen then. I recently saw GWTW, again. Her impression of Scarlett is so funny. I even thought of Carol Burnett watching the original, especially how she treats Melanie. Carol got that spot on, lol. One of the funniest bits ever shown on TV!

Hey there! I came across your comment and I just had to reach out and say hi. Your perspective really caught my attention and I would love to get to know you better. Would you be interested in chatting sometime? Looking forward to hearing back from you! Good night 😘 😊

Well, he got something even better. His costume has been displayed since 2009 in a place of honor in the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History on the mall in Washington, DC.

@@bruced.campbell4498 As well it should be!

Bob Mackie is one of the best costume designers in Hollywood. Yet, what's the thing that Mr. Mackie is best known for? The curtain rod dress!

nah the dentist was by far the best

@@Lauren-vd4qe I can't decide between that and the "Siamese elephants joined at the trunk". Remember? The one's that when one would sneeze, the other's eyes would get real big. "Snorkit!" Tim Conway was one of a kind.

You could ask for more cursing and the N word. !!

Societie's sence of humor has drastically changed since then. A show like this would never make it today.

Wimp.

Does take away from it a little bit.

@@PotterPossum1989 So you're saying they shudda done blackface?

@@showguyusa No they said not having blackface takes away from it a little bit.

@@showguyusa That's ok. I dont think u saw the comment I was commenting on. I know what I was talking about and I wasnt talking to u. Have a great day.

I loved it when Dinah Shore started laughing toward the end (18:05), "pardon the intrusion, I do hate to be a bother...."

Chris Case: Yes, kudos to Bob Mackie for designing the dress. He did creative and wacky work for both Cher & Carol Burnett. That green drapery dress definitely stopped the show, and it still works!

Hello Linda How are you doing today/

😂😂😂 Thank ya! I saw it in the window and I just couldn't resist it!

ikr 😆

I concur.

I remember laughing so hard I had tears running down my face.

I really loved the curtain dress!!

Wow Carol Burnette is sexy and beautiful as a Burnette ! She resembles the real Scarlet !!

The longest running laugh in TV history.

Comedy that can't be made today.

Good clean comedy! Nothing funnier!

Sheesh ! I wonder what BLM would say about this today. Can’t believe You Tube hasn’t banned this. lol

@@Higherseekeraaaaaaaaand there’s the obligatory racist comment.

Typical commie response. Blame the other side for your own faults. Sorry sister, that doesn’t play anymore.@@seasonsstarsstudios

Poor Billy Joe McAlister.

🤣🤣🤣

I love jokes that reference songs, even if I'm not too crazy about the song.

I remember that hit!

I missed that joke the first ten times I watched this skit.😊

Eliza Gaskell ---. Indeed. GOLD !!!!!

It was later syndicated as part of “Carol Burnett & Friends” in 1979 and 1980 according to this show’s intro at 0:00. The show was taped at CBS Television City which is now the legendary, Bob Barker Studio.

This was brilliant 👏

I remember watching it in the 7th grade with my dad. We were the comedians of the family and watched each week. Carol Burnett was my teen idol.

What’s great is that it’s comedy that doesn’t punch down at anyone. It’s just a loving tribute to a classic movie with clever humor, no one is really the butt of the joke so everyone can laugh.

Rebecca Moore Even the Russian call girls, watching on UKposts in Moscow, laughed so hard they almost, ahem, well, you know, fondly remembering 2013, and Ole Big MacDonald.

@@MeadeSkeltonMusic Why in the world would you want to say such a thing? 😝😣

@@MeadeSkeltonMusic Thank God we don't have to be accountable for the ignorant thoughts/opinions of others!!!

@@dalredmond5879 it's a fact, not ignorant. Bob Mackie is sexual deviant.

I wasn't referring to Mr. Mackie!!!

"Shoot for $300 I'll show him anything he wants" I choked on my drink xD

i know right

She was the best!

Yes girl I was thinking the same thing. This whole skit was brilliant. Even more hysterical when you've seen the original Gone With The Wind. 😆😆

I liked mammy better. Sissy got on my nerves when she lied in a super critical time.

She was really really funny as sissy a.k.a. prissy she really did at Spot on

Vicki Lawrence (Sissy) sounded an awful lot like Flip Wilson's Geraldine

Wendy Williams I loved Mammy. She was a strong woman. Sissy was favored with me about not knowing anything bout birthing babies !!!

@@Gwen3344 - Gilda Radner was famous for breaking a rib in an SNL skit but it looks like Carol outdid her!

SNL has nothin on these guys. Oh they make me laugh all the time.

He was giggling and holding his laugh when he finally made it up...

If you listen carefully, Carol Burnett says, "Just keep going" as he carries her upstairs. I don't know if he really strained his back, but it looked like it. Greatest sketch ever!

@@jessfrankel5212 You're right, she did!

Carol Burnett fans. 🙂

Literally was thinking the same thing about the genius of the writers and performers who brought it to life so brilliantly!

And let's NOT forget Dinah Shore as "Melody". She could clown it up, and did, with the very Best!!!

Just a passel of damn Yankees, sugah.

I think it's just because they have such a hard on for the original movie

Their moral and laughter compass are not working!

Perhaps their sense of humor just went with the wind... *SWEEPING ORCHESTRAL LINE*

What wind?

Deb Babe Harvey Korman could also do a great John Wayne. Talent like that doesn't exist today. Rich Little was great too. The good ole days!

When he does those Gable facial expressions, its hilarious.

He Out-Gabled Gable himself!

He looked more like Gable than gable did!

He had the Gable squint down!

2:57 and 9:31 *_"MISS STAHLET!!! MISS STAHLET!!! MISS STAHLET!!! MISS STAHLET!!! MISS STAHLET!!! MISS STAHLET!!! MISS STAHLET!!!"_*

Especially now. R.I.P., Tim.

Harvey and Tim were hilarious!

You only live once. Wonder if anyone would get it. I dressed like Alex from A Clockwork Orange recently and nobody got it. I had fun though.

That would be a great costume. I think anyone under the age of 50 wouldn't get it. This is comedy gold.

I absolutely love it that she remembered the woman and her brother from school. I have always loved her.

@@mkimmick61 I guess I am one of the few under 50 that would get it. We didn’t have cable for the majority of my childhood, so I watched a LOT of old TV shows. The Dick Van Dyke Show was one of my favorites. My mom was a big fan of Carol Burnett, so I was familiar with this episode. It helped me understand the storyline of GWTW since I was too young to really get it when I watched it. It never really made sense to me. I just remember a party at the beginning, a baby being born in the middle, the city burning, then Scarlett eats some carrots and throws up. Like I said, it made no sense 😄

@spirals 73 Funnels... water.... cloud (fiberfill)... and a stuffed toy shark.

The audience laughed longer than that. They edited most of it out to fit the broadcast time slot. In an interview, Carol said that they did not tell anyone about the dress but had to tell Harvey so he would not break up when she started down the stairs. Only Carol, Harvey and Bob Mackie knew what she was going to wear.

Real audience too.

'Went with the Wind' was simply one of the best sketches ever...... Especially for those who grew up reading Margaret Mitchell's epic 'Gone with the Wind'.

Much respect for not posting a spoiler! And yes, the sketch is gorgeous from start to finish.

Stillhiariousin2o22,,thanxyoutubeforputtingallkindsofdecenttvshows,,,sothatpplcakñowawesomeshowsexits.

ME TOO! My grandma was born and raised on a Texas farm, and life was tough. The only time I ever saw her just flat lose it was when Carol came down the stairs with that curtain rod.

The Trouble With Trebles Harvey K was a comic genius.

Dinah - "Miss Melody"! Perfect!

OMG.... I forgot Her name... But thank you for the reminder ...... DINAH SHORE....! One of the greats AMONG greats!

It was part of the window display probably. Lmao.

“Stick your face in the punch bowl”! Dying laughing! My husband brought me most of The Carol Burnett Show on DVD-as he knew how much I missed my family (my WWII Hero Uncle married my mom’s oldest sister, one of her 10 siblings, and though they married for the first time later in life, my Uncle had a house built for my aunt & 7 female family members of aunts, mom, me & my sister-all the rest moved away, and we all moved in with them, and I am so grateful for those memories-especially after my most beloved Gramma died on my 11th birthday & mom died 12 years later on Christmas my Junior year of college) , and we just watched the same day of self-quarantine & Went with The Wind was on the first Disc. And believe me, unless there is an Eagles game on, my husband & I rarely watch TV together. He’ll watch my DVD of the Gilmore Girls entire 7 years of the series, plus the revival, so the few things we watch together other than our Eagles, Gilmore Girls, and all the DVD’s of the Dream Martin Variety Shows & the Roast, which my sister & I bought for my aunt & I luckily was the one to inherit them.

Hello, good evening and I hope all’s fine with you there? Hope to hear from you soon... Ok

😅

And about ten times practicing it.

I miss the whole lot of them. Truly talented comedians. They always had me in stitches!

I think we all do, now! No way to un-see that curtain rod on her shoulders!!!

This and the dentist. Outstanding!
