Here's Vicki Lawrence on how it all went down. An utterly classic and unforgettable TV moment;

But, in my opinion, some of the Bob Hope skits in the movie Paleface made in 1948 are just hilarious.

Her show was just wonderful! I loved how she took audience questions in the beginning. And, who can forget her tugging her ear at the end of each show-Here's the story:

"My grandmother (Nanny) raised me out here in Hollywood. When I got my first job back in New York, I called her and I said 'Nanny, I'm going to be on television Saturday morning.' She said, 'Well, you gotta say hello to me.' We figured this out — to pull my ear — and that was my signal to her," she revealed while accepting The Colleagues Champion of Children Award. "It always meant 'Hi Nanny. I'm fine. I love you.' Later it meant, 'Hi Nanny. I'm fine. I love you. Your check's on the way.'"

It's so much more funny when the cast can't contain their own laughter
