In every instance, he throws at least one empty can into the same closet, which never gets cleaned out. As time goes on, the cans begin spilling farther and farther into the room, to the point of covering half the sitting room floor by the end of the skit's run.

A hit VarietyShow starring (who else?) Creator/CarolBurnett, which aired for 11 seasons (1967–78) on Creator/{{CBS}}. The show followed a simple format of weekly guest stars, {{sketch comedy}}, movie and TV parodies, and musical numbers. What set it apart was how off-the-wall the cast and writers would take things. Basically anything went, as long as it was funny (and could air on TV, of course). Many also consider it to be the first comedic variety series centered around a woman.
