Old Joke Comes True

If you look up idiot in the dictionary it will have your picture. Ha Ha - Old Joke

I learned a new English term called Corpsing - itis when an actor can't keep a straight face during a comedy scene. Most famous for this would be Harvey Korman and Time Conway on The Carol Burnett Show.





So I was looking the word up in Wikipedia and it literally says at the bottom:

That's right, if you look up corpsing in the dictionary they have a picture of Jimmy Fallon.

    I adored the Carol Burnett show when it was on! I loved those guys when they cracked up...which was often. It was on Saturday nights and my mom was usually putting curlers in my hair and I couldn't help letting my eyes (and head) turn toward the TV and she would yank my head back by the hank of hair she was holding. Ah, such fond memories!

    I faintly remember Carol Burnett show, but the highlight was always to see if Tim Conway would get Harvey Korman to laugh.
