Funny how you should mention about Carol Burnett reciting the alphabet and counting to 20. I never really remeber her doing it but DO remember Bill Cosby AND Pat Paulsen doing the alphabet and counting to 20. At the end of one of Pat's skits, (I forgot if it was counting or the alphabet), he could be heard saying a faint "whooppee!" Also James Earl Jones did both of those too! He was always somewhat scary to look at in my book! I don't know why. Pat was also seen as the clown who takes his makeup off little by little and after revealing what he looks like says "this is me...which face do you like better"? Then the screen splits in two and shows him with the clown face next to his real face. He looks at it and says "me too"!!!
