Funny thing about Vincent Price: he could be frightfully funny. Although primarily known as a horror star, he amply demonstrated his flair for comedy by scaring up laughs in numerous appearances on The Red Skelton Show, in guest shots on sitcoms (from F Troop to The Brady Bunch) and in such films as Champagne for Caesar and His Kind of Woman. Small wonder he was a welcome guest on The Carol Burnett Show. In this seventh-season episode, he stands at podium to tell anecdotes about Abraham Lincoln's sense of humor, then returns to play a spy in a sketch with regular Harvey Korman. The episode's other guest star, Oscar winner Joel Grey (Cabaret), appears in a "Carol and Sis" skit with Carol and Vicki Lawrence, also teaming with Carol for the "Punch & Judy" finale about a street entertainer (Vincent) and his puppets.
