The Carol Burnett Show (1967) - 8x10 - with Maggie Smith and Tim Conway- Followmy.tv

Maggie Smith and Tim Conway are the guest stars for this eighth-season episode. That's right. Although Tim, like Steve Lawrence, was a frequent visitor to The Carol Burnett Show, he didn't become a regular until the fall of 1975. "Tim was on the show all the time," Carol says, "but we didn't make him a genuine regular until the 9th year. How stupid were we? Finally, it was like, 'Duh! Why don't we have him on every week. What's our problem?" During the question and answer period with the studio audience, Carol is asked to name her favorite "rock star." She answers with the name of another familiar guest star on her show: Rock Hudson (he is a rock, and he is a star). Maggie Smith, then on tour with Noel Coward's Private Lives, enjoyed the experience so much, she returned the following season for another turn as guest star.
