The next "Carol Burnett Show" reunion will take place in… "Cleveland"!

Comic vets Carol Burnett and Tim Conway both will appear in an August episode of TV Land’s "Hot in Cleveland", the network announced Thursday.



Burnett will play Penny, a local TV legend and children’s program puppeteer who’s also mother of Wendie Malick’s Victoria.

Conway will return to the comedy as Elka’s ex-boyfriend Nick — only this time, Nick wants to hook up with Penny!

Burnett and Conway co-starred in her eponymous skit show, which ran for 11 seasons in the 1960s and ’70s.



The episode, which tapes in March, will air during the second half of the comedy’s fourth season.

Keck's Exclusives: Betty White, Carol Burnett and Tim Conway Reunite on "Hot in Cleveland"
Apr 15, 2013
by William Keck


Back on "The Carol Burnett Show", the comedy queen and Betty White played sisters Eunice and Ellen Harper in the recurring "Mama's Family" sketches.

More than three decades later, they're reuniting on the June 26 episode of TV Land's "Hot in Cleveland". Carol Burnett guest stars as Penny, the hoarding mother of Victoria (Wendie Malick) and Bess (Jean Smart), who used to host a puppet show and now fakes senility to keep her daughters close.



"That's not hard for Carol," quips another "Burnett Show" costar, Tim Conway, who plays Nick, a friend of White's Elka. On set during rehearsals, Burnett turned to her pals and said, "This is just like old times."

While filming one scene, Burnett suggested that Conway shuffle across the floor like his beloved World's Oldest Man character. How slow did he go? Slow enough for Penny to crack, "I may have time to go home and shave my legs."



"Burnett Show" fans will also appreciate Penny's farewell line to Elka:

"I'm so glad we had this time together."

As always, it was great to see Carol Burnett & Tim Conway together again. The script was not as strong as I would have liked for it to be, but so glad to see them anyway.

^ So True! ^

And also Tim Conway's part was much too small. They should have given him more to say & do on that episode. But it was nice seeing them together again.

I forgot to watch! Hope its repeated this week!

As great as it was to see Carol Burnett and Tim Conway, two of my favorites, I was shocked they didn't mention Jean Smart was also in that episode. She's a pretty big star and also did another famous show with all women: Designing Women. In fact, partially because of her wardrobe, I didn't recognize her. I was thinking it was Joanna Cassidy -- another favorite of mine.

And I too was disappointed that Tim Conway didn't get to do much. He is far too talented to be demoted to a small role at the end of the episode. Though it was funny to see him do the old man walk.

I didn't recognize Jean Smart.
