Grew up watching the Carol Burnett Show and loved it. Great cast, guests and one of favorite segments was the Late, Late Show when she spoofed old movies. Talent in spades and so much fun.
For those of you too young to recognize it, this is a spoof on the Noel Coward film, Brief Encounter (1945) which starred Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard. It's considered one of the greatest English films. Kind of like Casablanca in US film history.
I love the quick wit it takes to really carry on a conversation like this! One word to explain, chastise, apologize, question, and so on. I enjoy doing this occasionally with people, can really perk up a conversation and gets people's attention! 😃
Doesn't matter. He was still such a hottie! I'd want him for a best friend because in real life he was the kind of person that knew other people's secrets and kept them! He was very loyal.

"Brief Encounter" in 3 minutes, 25 seconds. A master class in timing and inflection.
Roddy was a charmer, for sure, and that voice! Whew! Such a great skit.
Yes! When he says, "Hmm...", it's just so cute. Very expressive. The various inflections his voice was evidence of his talent and classical training.
This is one of the most brilliant sketches ever! Roddy so talented since a child. And Carol, well. What else to say?

Figaro Hey! Thnx!! But this is so funny and sweet...😂😂
I didn't know. Thank you for the information!

It's funny whether you recognize it or not. Although it's nice to know.
Roddy was so cute, and his voice...ugh, to die for!
+dragonflyjilly Oooo! Tell me about it!

JillyDee yeah!!🙌🙌🙌
I was born in 1982 and have loved Roddy McDowell since childhood: Lassie Come Home and How Green was My Valley.
True. And a gifted actor since childhood!
That was genius. So well written and performed.

Great actor with incredible range. Did it all... Villians, heroes, psychos, comedy ... always a unique & convincing performance. Never phoned it in.
Special shout out to the effort the extras in the background put into being completely still 😲
Intelligent conversation. I once saw one with groans, cries and hums. Really impressive.
Loved any show that Roddy McDowell was in.
He was a very good Lucifer on Fantasy Island...
Roddy McDowell was really cute. I had a crush on him for about two years.
If it were a perfect world, political debates should be this way !

Me: Why?
He did not ask "Impotent?". He asked "Impertinent?" She did not say, "Quiet". She said, "Quite."
Impertinent, not impotent.
You have too much time on your hands.
roddy was one of the most sexiest men from the 70s.
one of my favorite shows while growing up. always remembered this skit

Thumbs up 4 this kind of Tv Carol and company is still the best

Clever.
Perfect
did this scen in another episode but they were ina elevator instead of a restraunt.
I remember that one, and have been looking for it for awhile now, if u know the title of it plz let me know.
@@cjeanie3 That sketch can be found on a DVD entitled, The Carol Burnett Show, Carol's Favorites.
Roddy: Adorable !!! Carol seems like she's trying to look/act like Julie Andrews
The actors in the background were completely motionless. That must’ve been hard to do through this skit.
That is a riot
oh i agree totally with that!
can anyone tell me what season of the show this is and what other episodes and seasons roddy mcdowall was on?
Hahahahahahaha, nice one
Shakespearean...
@ChildOfTheSouth91 I found it :) Thanks!
Interesting.
Lol
It might be March 16, 1974.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA CRAZY XD
studio c chatterbox
Allen Ludden enjoyed this skit......
interesting!
what episode is this?
Quite
About the time he was donning Cornelius makeup
quite
If a woman is frigid, she's a highly sexual woman and the man has no idea how to love her... but loved the comedy.
that's 1 of about a dozen possibilities but ty for trying
Awkward?
skit
Roddy was cute,I wonder if he was gay?
He was....but he never outed himself.
we will never really know he was wonderful x
Qué desperdicio 🤦🏽♀️
@@elinlloyd7002 True, he was extremely private. It'll be a mystery forever.
@@evamarek5205 yes nothing wrong with that no should not matter now anyways he has been gone since the 90s bless him .
annoying
