"Johnny Appleseed" for Hi-C 100 (1986)

 I happened across this next item whilst reviewing a video on short-lived 80's shows on YouTube, so I figured there'd be a stand-alone clip.

In 1986, the Coca-Cola Company, makers of Hi-C, introduced Hi-C 100, and recruited former Carol Burnett Show co-stars Harvey Korman and Tim Conway to promote the product. In this clip, Conway presents Johnny Appleseed as a variant on his "Dorf" persona, with Korman in drag as Johnny's mom.


Around that time, Korman was co-starring in CBS' Leo & Liz in Beverly Hills with Valerie Perrine, a spin-off from George Burns' Comedy Week. Conway was making movies with his good friend, Don Knotts.
