Before he cracked up Harvey Korman on The Carol Burnett Show, before he bumbled around with Joe Flynn on McHale’s Navy, Tim Conway had another partner in comedy.
Conway was a writer/director/actor on two TV stations in Cleveland in the late ‘50s and early ‘60s, hooking up with an announcer and host named Ernie Anderson. Anderson ended up as Carol Burnett’s announcer after Lyle Waggoner left but is maybe better known as the voice of ABC-TV (“The Loooooove Boat” a specialty).
With the Yuletide season upon us, what better way to celebrate than with Conway and Anderson together on some short spots for Ohio Bell. They hold poses at the end for a voice-over tag.
