During season 8, episode 15 of The Carol Burnett Show, viewers are treated to a showcase of the comedic talents of Tim Conway. Best known for his work on McHale's Navy and later on The Carol Burnett Show, Conway was a master of improvisation and physical comedy.

The episode begins with a musical number featuring Carol Burnett and guest star Debbie Reynolds. The two women sing a duet of "Let Me Be There," while dressed in glittering gowns and surrounded by backup dancers.

Next up is a sketch called "Mr. Tudball and Mrs. Wiggins." This recurring sketch features Conway as an uptight businessman named Mr. Tudball and Burnett as his dimwitted secretary Mrs. Wiggins. In this particular installment, Mrs. Wiggins has accidentally glued herself to the floor, much to the frustration of Mr. Tudball.

In another sketch, Burnett and Conway play a pair of bickering spouses who are stuck overnight in a department store. As they search for a way out, they discover that they are not alone in the store and hilarity ensues.

One of the highlights of the episode is a parody of the classic western tv show Bonanza. In this sketch, Conway plays the bumbling sheriff of a small town who accidentally captures the notorious bandit "One-Eyed Jack" (played by guest star Steve Lawrence). However, when it is revealed that the real One-Eyed Jack has a glass eye, chaos ensues as Conway attempts to prove that he has caught the right man.

The episode also includes a skit in which Conway plays a hapless surgeon who is constantly being interrupted by his incompetent nurse (played by Burnett). Despite their best efforts, the two cannot seem to get a grip on the situation and are soon entangled in a confusing web of medical mishaps.

In addition to the sketches, the episode features musical performances by Burnett and Lawrence as well as a dance number by the show's regular dancers.

Throughout the episode, Conway shines with his quick wit and impeccable timing. Whether he is playing a buffoonish sheriff or a frustrated businessman, he never fails to elicit laughter from the audience.

Overall, season 8, episode 15 of The Carol Burnett Show is a delightful showcase of Tim Conway's comedic talents. With its mix of musical numbers and hilarious sketches, it is a must-watch for fans of classic television comedy.
