Conway later revealed that the skit was actually based on true events. The skit has gone on to be a part of comedy folklore and you can hardly blame Korman if he peed his pants just a little. The audience is roaring with laughter throughout the sketch.Ĭonway maintains a straight face, breaking only at the end, sharing a nice moment with Korman. He has simply given up as he watches Conway deliver a lesson in physical comedy. Halfway through the sketch Korman can't hold a straight face anymore and starts to laugh. Conway then accidentally jabs his right foot and is comically trying to go through with the procedure with a briefly paralyzed right hand and foot. Conway insists on going through with the procedure and Korman begs to be relieved of his toothache. What follows is a comedy of errors, starting with the incompetent dentist sticking the novocaine needle into his own skin, briefly paralyzing his right hand. He musters the courage and decides to pull out Korman's tooth as requested. The Dentist/The Carol Burnett ShowĬonway is equally, if not more, nervous about attending to a patient. The nurse insists the new dentist is qualified but adds that he just graduated. The sketch starts with Korman arriving at the dentist's place to find out that the regular dentist isn't available. Conway played the role of the dentist while Korman played a nervous patient that had the audience in stitches. The duo was a laugh riot every time they were on screen and the best example of that was " The Dentist" sketch on "The Carol Burnett Show."
