In the middle of a live taping of The Carol Burnett Show, something happened that would change everything. Carol Burnett, known for her strong leadership, made the difficult decision to let Harvey Korman go from the show. This decision surprised many and marked a significant change in the show's dynamic. What led to such a bold decision, and how did it impact the show? What do you think was the real reason behind Burnett's drastic action?

"Hey, you didn’t miss my guys, right? It’s a real thrill to have you on the show. Thanks so much!"

"Oh, you're welcome... I mean, youse are welcome... uh, wait, no. It’s great to be here! Really!"

"Yeah, it’s terrific! You and me, we come from two totally different worlds, you know?"

"That’s true."

"I’m used to the bright lights of Broadway, and you... well, you’re used to the bright lights of a police station!"

[Laughter]

"Well, I was hoping maybe you and I could do a song together, but then I realized... there’s no way you could handle our music."

"Oh, yes, I can!"

Black is black
I want my baby back
It's gray, it's gray
Since she went away, Ooh-Ooh
What can I do
'Cause I-I-I-I-I'm feelin' blue
If I had my way
She'd be back today
But she don't intend
To see me again, Ooh-Ooh
What can I do
'Cause I-I-I-I-I'm feelin' blue
I can't choose
It's too much to lose
My love's too strong
Wow! Maybe if she
Would come back to me
Then it can't go wrong
Bad is bad

It's strange to think this is the same man who became the first U.S. president to step foot in North Korea to negotiate a peace plan and avert war with a dictator.

The Bee Gees performing 'I Want You To Want Me' on the TCN-9 program Bandstand - broadcasted on the 7th of September 1963.

Note: The Bee Gees were British migrants that had started their career in their homeland. However, like many British-born performers (Billy Thorpe, Olivia Newton John, Frank Ifield; to name a few), the Bee Gees became a household name in Australia prior to international success.

Note: Bandstand, was an Australian musical/variety television show which screened from November 1958 to 1972. It was produced at the studios of TCN-9 in Sydney and eventually became a national program as Nine Network expanded into other Australian cities in the early 1960s and was hosted by Brian Henderson. Later shows from the mid 70's was hosted by Daryl Somers.

@GizmoGuy21 -- I was a stagehand in the US. Worked the Rod Stewart show. After the show, we were breaking things down. The shop steward told us to stop what we were doing and line up in the hallway by the dressing room. Something like this had never happened before.

So, we were all standing there, wondering what was going on, and Rod Stewart came out of the dressing room. He shook the hand of every stagehand and personally thanked each of us for helping to put on the show. Got to his limo and turned around and gave us all a big wave and another "thanks!'

I worked a lot of shows, and he is the only celebrity who gave any recognition to the local crew. And the people who traveled with his show were mostly friends he knew before he was famous, they spent most of the show under the stage, drinking Guiness out of a can.

So, they got to tour the USA and got paid for it. Thank you, Rod Stewart for being a good human being.

Originally, Sandy was portrayed as an all-American girl with the last name Dumbrowski. In the film, however, she became Sandy Olsson from Australia—a change that required a creative shift, much like altering a puzzle piece to fit better in the larger picture.

Before accepting the role, Newton-John asked for a screen test, feeling uncertain about her acting abilities and worried that she might appear too old to play a high school student. Director Randal Kleiser agreed, and they filmed the 'drive-in movie' scene as a trial run. Once she saw the footage, Newton-John felt reassured and moved forward with filming.

During the iconic “You’re the One That I Want” performance, Newton-John faced an unexpected challenge when her pants zipper broke. She recalled, “They sewed me into those pants every morning for a week.” It was a situation akin to being trapped in a too-tight corset; she had to be careful about what she ate and drank, finding the experience quite excruciating, especially in the sweltering heat of 106 degrees during the carnival finale.

Jim Casey, the show's creator, noted that the controversial ending—where Sandy conforms to the Greasers and alters her appearance to fit in with the T-Birds and the Pink Ladies—was meant to spoof the typical movie trope of the rebellious character redeeming themselves. Instead of the expected transformation of the bad boy into a good guy at the film’s conclusion, it was the good girl who turned rebellious.

Marie Osmond shared her thoughts with Larry King about turning down the role of Sandy. She expressed concern that she didn’t want her future teenagers to think, “You have to go bad to get the boy.” It was a personal choice as a mother-to-be. In a discussion with Fox News, Osmond elaborated, “The script I received was much edgier than what Olivia ended up with. At that time in my life, I wanted to have children, and I disliked that the girl had to become bad to win the guy. I believe the guy should work hard to earn the girl’s affection.”

The Ed Sullivan Show was a television variety program that aired on CBS from 1948-1971. For 23 years it aired every Sunday night and played host to the world's greatest talents. The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones.

It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day.

This rare interview filmed by YLE, The Finnish Broadcasting Company for the Finnish TV Show "Iltatähti", was originally broadcast on April 13, 1974.

In celebration of this special release, we have uncovered an interview of Alice Cooper in the midst of the massively successful 1973-1974 Billion Dollar Babies tour. In the video, he is interviewed at the Hotel Hesperia in Helsinki, Finland, discussing his stage persona, rock music, violence, his audiences, and musical influences.

At the time, Alice was in Europe to promote the original band's upcoming film, “Good To See You Again, Alice Cooper”, which predominately featured live concert footage filmed at the 1973 Sam Houston Coliseum show. 

Alice Cooper was discussing his performances and how they often sound bizarre to others. “When I read about the things people say you’ve done on stage, they seem bizarre to someone like me,” Tom said. “I sit here with a glass of water and talk to people, that’s the extent of what happens on this show.”

Alice chuckled, responding, “What I focus on is more of a ‘bazaar of the mind’ than a physical spectacle.” When asked about the strangest illusion or effect he’d ever done on stage, Alice paused. “That’s hard to say. A lot of it is imagined by the audience. It’s a surrealist approach—what they think they see is often more powerful than what actually happens.”

Tom brought up an old rumor, “Like when they said you killed a chicken on stage.”
