But all good things must come to an end. And on March 29, 1978, the show bid farewell with a two-hour finale titled ‘A Special Evening With Carol Burnett.’
Just as the show is starting, Carol’s recurring sidekick, Tim Conway, comes to the stage.
“I hate to kind of interrupt here," Tim says, "but you have a favorite performer and the guy’s been here every week with his piano and you’ve never let him on the show. I think at this time, since it’s the last show and everything, I’d like to take the opportunity to give the guy a break."
