They would actually film the show twice. The first time, they'd pretty much follow the script. Then they'd change the audience and do a second taping in which ad libbing, especially by Tim, was encouraged. Then for the broadcast, they'd edit in whichever version of the sketch got the bigger laughs. On some occasions, they'd even edit within a sketch because a joke from one version got a bigger laugh, but the other version of the sketch got the bigger laughs as a whole.

I wish this kind of classy comedy would return.

Poor Harvey never had a chance. What a great duo they were.

You can tell from the saunter Tim uses, he is going to do his best to get Harvey to crack, and Harvey knows this. This likely the 2nd taping of this skit. Tim always did the 1st take straight from the script, asked the director if he got what he needed and then would riff and adlib on the 2nd take, per Carol Burnett. Tim's goal on this take was to get everyone corpsing and laughing uncontrollably. Very successful hear. I believe Carol said they used a lot of the 2nd taping because TIm would make the 2nd take that much funnier.😂
