Looking for a skit


It was a parody of the Ronald Colman movie "Lost Horizon," with Harvey Kormam imitating Colman. Tim Conway was the old man. It wasn't a very long skit, but I can't find it online anywhere!

That was done on The Garry Moore Show, Season 2 Episode 37, June 21, 1960, but I haven't found a clip yet. Here's a description and a link to the page I got it from. The second link is a Google search that brought up a book about variety shows and the only match within containing Carol Burnett and "Lost Horizon" together. Hope that helps.

Garry's guests are Johnny Carson, Ed McMahon and Betsy Palmer. Also with regulars Durwood Kirby, Carol Burnett and Allen Funt. Highlights: "That Wonderful Year" is 1937. Garry's guests are comic Johnny Carson of "Who do you trust?" and actress Betsy Palmer of "I've Got a Secret." Comedy sketches include "Life belt," with Garry, Durwood Kirby, Johnny and Carol Burnett stranded on a life raft. Garry, Carol, and Kirby star in a take-off on the film "Lost Horizon." And an Allen Funt's Candid camera segment.
