S11E02 - with Steve Lawrence
Synopsis
This eleventh-season episode features one of Carol's all-time favorite guest stars, singer Steve Lawrence. During the eleven-year run of The Carol Burnett Show, Steve made twenty seven appearances, always proving he was as comfortable in a movie spoof or comedy bit as he was in song. His wife, Eydie Gorme, was a guest star thirteen times on Carol's program, but never with Steve. Film parodies were a Steve specialty, and he proves this once again with "Fran Sancisco," a lampoon of the 1936 classic, San Francisco. He plays a Frisco snob named Robert Snob, who talks one way with his glasses on and another way with them off. Dick Van Dyke takes Clark Gable role; Carol plays the Jeanette McDonald character; Tim is the Spencer Tracy part, a chanting priest; and Vicki Lawrence is Robert Snob's glasses-wearing mother.
