The Carol Burnett Show (1967) - 8x05 - with Telly Savalas and The Smothers Brothers- Followmy.tv

Another eighth-season treat, this episode features the Smothers Brothers, as well as Telly Savalas, then in his second CBS season as lollipop-licking police lieutenant Theo Kojak. In 1974, Kojak was a Sunday-night series for the network. Just a few years earlier, the Smothers Brothers also had a Sunday-night series on CBS but their relationship with the network was not so amicable. The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour (1967-69) was canceled after many fights with the CBS censors and management over material and guest stars. After Dick Smothers tries to get through a song, frequently interrupted by his brother, of course, Tommy returns to play Eunice's hospitalized brother in the third "Family" sketch. Telly Savalas sings "Rubber Bands and Bits of String," then appears in the "Broken Merger" sketch with Harvey Korman.
