The Carol Burnett Show was nearing the end of its run in the early part of 1978. This must've been in February for a sweeps stunt, because Carol, accompanied by Tim Conway, Vicki Lawrence, & Jim Nabors, paid a visit to Match Game, and sat in for part of round 2 of a game.
Now, we all know Carol & Vicki were frequent guests on Password and its later incarnations, and Vicki would be a recurring panelist during NBC's 1990-1 run of To Tell The Truth. They show up around the 10-11 minute mark on this tape:
All but Tim managed to match, even though it didn't count in the scoring. This was just for kicks.
Carol ended her show in March 1978, and reruns, in half-hour increments under the syndicated title, Carol Burnett & Friends, air weeknights on Me-TV (check listings).

I used to watch the syndicated reruns of The Carol Burnett Show weekday afternoons in the 1980s. In recent years, whenever I would mention the title Carol Burnett and Friends on an online forum, people would always think that I was talking about Carol Burnett and the NBC sitcom Friends (which I know of, but have never seen. No interest in seeing it). Geez, I'm old!
Carol Burnett & Friends led into the 6 pm news in the 80's in my area. It's just unfortunate that the original hour-long shows have not been completely restored for cable consumption.
