'Mooners Monday: "Lost" Norton appearance?

I wasn't aware of this until I saw it on Decades back in November, and now that Laugh-In is streaming on Amazon Prime Video (see yesterday's post), it's a good time to take a look at this "lost" 'Mooners (sort of) sketch.

The great Art Carney visited Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In on September 14, 1970, as the show began its fourth season. Johnny Brown was a newcomer to the regular cast, and he and Carney performed in a little sketch to start the proceedings:

In today's installment of Dialogue You Won't See on Network TV Today:

 



 

NORTON:  Hey, Ralph! Come on upstairs. I want to watch Laugh-in.
RALPH (OFF-CAMERA): Norton, are you crazy? You don't have a set.
NORTON: That's the best way to watch that show.
All right, we'll use your set. Come on out, will you?

(Brown walks in)

NORTON: Hey, Ralph, if you ask me, I think you've been out in that Miami sun a little too long."

Here are a few other shots of Art Carney in the episode:
