“If you want to know real comedic power… watch these 0.8 seconds.” It started as a silly little skit — just Carol teasing a Peeping Tom — but the 1977 clip feels even sharper today.

One tilt of her head and the crowd already knew something wild was coming. She hadn’t even touched the man yet, and people were clutching their seats. Then came that 0.8-second move. A quick flick of her hand… and he dropped to his knees like he’d been hit by thin air. No effects. No tricks. Just Carol being scary-good at what she does. And when she whispered that tiny panicked line under her breath? You can actually see the curtain shaking from folks backstage trying not to burst out laughing. Almost 50 years later, people are emotional watching it again — like they’ve rediscovered lightning.
