They shared a sound stage together for a decade on CBS Television's wildly popular The Carol Burnett Show. Now, Tim Conway and Harvey Korman are sharing a concert stage while touring together…again.

Billed as "Tim Conway and Harvey Korman: Together Again," the name is an obvious reference to the huge success they achieved while being core performers of Burnett's variety series from 1967 to 1978.

Conway and Korman will re-create five sketches from the show, as well as individual stand-up routines from the veteran comics. The pairing seems like such a natural.

"It brings back a special time in television. People remember that show, and they want to see Tim and Harvey perform together again," said agent Marty Klein-not missing another opportunity to promote the show's title. "Who can forget how Tim's antics would break Harvey up spontaneously on the Burnett show. It still happens almost every night in this show."

Conway became a regular on the Steve Allen Show in the 1950s before becoming a featured performer in McHale's Navy. Conway found himself a sought-after guest performer, appearing on virtually every national television variety show for the next 20 years and starred in three variety specials of his own. Of all his accomplishments, Conway has said he is most proud of the 11 years he spent on The Carol Burnett Show.

Korman's greatest gift may be his versatility. He can be a quintessential "straight man" grabbing laughs with just an expression on his face, or he is equally comfortable doing a monologue. He earned four Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe Award for his work on The Carol Burnett Show, and he starred in his own show in 1977. Korman was also an in-demand guest star during the heyday of the variety television show from the 1960s through the 1980s. BIO'S:
