The world of American soul music lost one of its quiet giants this week. Steve Cropper — the lean, razor-sharp guitarist whose clean, economical riffs became the backbone of the Stax Records sound — has died at 84. His family confirmed the news through Pat Mitchell Worley of the Soulsville Foundation, the organization preserving the legacy of the famous Memphis studio where Cropper built his life’s work. For a man who was never flamboyant, never a showboat, his influence is everywhere. His guitar didn’t demand attention — it earned it. Those spare, unforgettable licks on “Green Onions.” That clean, gliding…
The air in the room felt charged, almost humming with the weight of old memories, as Tim Conway and Harvey Korman met again inside the quiet halls of the Motion Picture & Television Fund home. It wasn’t just a visit. It was a moment suspended in time — a soft, golden echo of the laughter that once rolled through millions of American living rooms. Decades had passed since their reign on The Carol Burnett Show, yet the bond between them remained instantly recognizable. That rare chemistry — the kind that could derail a sketch, shatter Korman’s composure, and force camera…

And now, he’s beginning to put that gratitude into a brand new song. On the night of the 59th Annual CMA Awards, while the…
Reba McEntire wants everyone to take a deep breath — because despite what some viewers may have heard on live TV, she is not a married woman just yet. The 70-year-old country icon stopped by the Today show on Monday, Dec. 1 to talk about her ever-growing list of projects, including Season 2 of her NBC sitcom Happy’s Place, where she stars alongside her real-life fiancé, Rex Linn. But the interview took a humorous detour when co-anchor Savannah Guthrie casually referred to Linn as Reba’s “husband.” Reba instantly leaned forward, jumping in with that unmistakable sass and charm: “Now, wait…
Tim Conway’s “Adverse Reaction to Shots” sketch from The Carol Burnett Show stands as one of those moments where comedy crosses from scripted humor into timeless legend. In this fan-favorite scene, Conway appears as Dr. Percy, a well-meaning physician who volunteers to take a series of experimental injections in hopes of finding a cure for swine flu. What begins as an ordinary dinner outing among colleagues slowly unravels into pure comedic chaos, all thanks to Conway’s masterful delivery and unmatched commitment to absurdity. The setup is simple: Dr. Percy joins fellow doctors, played by Carol Burnett and Harvey Korman, at…

The Cowboys’ Thanksgiving halftime show has become more than entertainment; it serves as the national kickoff for The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign, spotlighting the millions who rely on assistance during the holidays and throughout the year. The annual performance is both a celebration and a…
Some comedy sketches fade with time — and then there are the rare masterpieces that stay just as hysterical half a century later. Tim Conway and Harvey Korman didn’t simply perform comedy; they crafted moments that felt alive, unpredictable, and utterly unrepeatable. They built memories — the kind fans still replay today because they capture the very best of what television used to be. And if there’s one sketch that perfectly showcases their brilliance, it’s that legendary moment from The Carol Burnett Show — a scene that instantly reminds viewers why the 1970s were truly the golden age of variety…

It was a warm Saturday evening in September 1969, the kind of night when the cicadas hummed outside the screen door and families across America gathered in living rooms lit only by a soft lamp and the glow of the television. The Vietnam War dominated the news, gas was 35 cents a gallon, and “Sugar, Sugar” by The Archies played endlessly on the radio. But at 9 PM on CBS, all of that faded away. For one hour each week, Hee Haw gave us permission to laugh. That night, Archie Campbell took center stage for his beloved barbershop skit. Roy…
