Hi,
With the death of Richard Kiel today, a comedy bit I saw when I was much younger came to mind - I'm guessing this was in the 1970's. It may have been on the Carol Burnett show or a Tim Conway special, I just can't remember.
Tim Conway sits at a bar (or at a diner counter) in between Ted Cassidy & Richard Kiel (I think, but it was two HUGE guys). The two big guys recognize one another and start talking - over Tim (who's small). One mentions that the other guy owes him money and the conversation gets heated. They start pushing and shoving each other and poor Tim is caught between these guys. At the time, I thought it was hilarious and would like to search online for this scene but I can't find it.
Does this ring a bell with anyone?
Thanks in advance. :)

I did a search for Tim Conway and Richard Kiel.
All I found for those two was the movie, They Went That-A-Way .

The only TV appearance that I would remember seeing Richard Kiel in before he became Jaws in the Bond movies would be in The Monkees episode "I Was A Teenage Monster". He plays a Frankenstein-type monster who is trained by the Monkees to become a rock star by request from his mad scientist creator.



They sure don't make them like this anymore!

Thanks for the replies. As I mentioned, I wasn't sure it was Kiel and/or Cassidy but the guys were really tall and dwarfed Tim. Oh well, I'm sure it isn't nearly as funny as I remember it.
