Carol Burnett and Robin Williams -The Funeral

Robin gets Carol to laugh when he sings the jump down turn around song and then to see him smile as he realizes she is trying to hold back the laughter is a great moment.

For those interested...this skit isn't from "The Carol Burnett Show". This is a sketch from a one hour comedy special that aired on ABC in February 1987 called "Carol, Carl, Whoopi and Robin". Carol Burnett hosted the show with guests Robin Williams, Carl Reiner & Whoopi Goldberg. Robin Williams won an Emmy Award for his performance in this special - well deserved for sure.

My heart is still broken for the loss of this genius. This walking, talking magic.

Watching Carol Burnett try to keep it together when Robin Williams is on a roll is comedy gold.

First was funny...second was HILARIOUS. Robin took the small bits of dead air in the first scripted sketch and made them amazing. Carol's energy in the improv was great too.

Carol understood the comedic value of inserting the absurd and downright bizarre in slice of life sketches. I bet this was a real treat for her.

Two comedic geniuses at the height of their craft. It is so cool to see how they ad lib and feed off of one another in a live situation. I could not stop laughing. When I think of either Carol or Robin it brings a smile. This is the Robin Williams I will remember. Thank you Carol and Robin for bringing so much laughter into my life.

Robin truly was a genius. The master of improv. I am so glad I came across this video. I had never seen him work with Carol. As a child I would watch her show with my mom and laugh hysterically. Robin was perfect for this skit! Thank you so much for posting this. And of course, thank you Robin for making us all laugh so hard. You will be forever remembered and missed!

There will never be another Robin Williams. The way he passed breaks my heart. He was and always will be a legend.

She was amazing just being able to keep a straight face with him in front of her ad-libbing like that.

Carol Burnett is the funniest comedienne ever!! Her show and standup never disappointed. And her timing was spot on. Her voices. A truly gift woman. Love her!!!!

"You gotta jump down, spin around, pick a bail o' cotton" -Carol, looking away and pinching her nose to try to keep from bursting out laughing. It's incredible that Williams was just making all this up on the spot as he went along with the basic story line.
