It seem Democrat #CA15 Swalwell - Shrek in a toupee - plagiarized a Carol Burnett skit with his ethnic outreach token friend schtick


























Harvey Korman [as mayor] Being your mayor all these years, has enabled me to meet many people of every race, color and creed. I've made so many close friends, I just wish some of them could have joined us here tonight. 

Carol Burnett [as mayor's wife]: I wonder who's at the door?


[door bell rings]

Korman: I'll see, dear.






Korman: What a lovely "surprise". Look who just walked in, dear! Well, golly! Well, Julio, "¿Cómo está usted?" 

Julio: Muy bien, gracias. Senor mayor, tengo muchas gracias [for inviting me to your home to see meet your magnificent family]




Korman: Yes,  it's important for a mayor to be able to communicate with all of his subjects.  

Burnett: Thank you, Julio

Julio: Yes




Korman [speaking to his African American guest]: Well, hello, Chang




[the African American and the Asian American switch places]


Chang: Hello, Mr. Mayor, I have brought for you fortune cookie from my country [fortune cookies were invented in the USA Yeh, Cedric S., et al. “Origins of a Fortune Cookie.” National Museum of American History, 5 Aug. 2016, americanhistory.si.edu/blog/2010/07/origins-of-a-fortune-cookie.html.]




Korman: Oh, thank you very much, Chang.  What a surprise. [speaking to wife] Dear, here, you read it.

Burnett: Oh, yes, I'd be delighted.  Oh, it says, "Confucius say, 'Mayor re-elected by landslide.'"

Korman: Aha! Well, I certainly hope so.  



[Burnett gives fortune to her daughter who eats the fortune] 




Burnett: No, dear, you're supposed to eat the other part.


Vicki Lawrence as Cutesy the daughter: [dopily] Oh, yeah!



Korman: Well, well, well, June, look here. Here's our good friend, Tom!

Burnett: Oh, well hello, there! Oh, my goodness, it's so good to see you. You're just like one of the family, aren't you? 

Tom: Yes, ma'am

Burnett [to Lawrence]: Say 'hello', Cutesy


Lawrence: Hello, Uncle Tom! 


[Burnett elbows Lawrence]


Lawrence: Oh, that's a boo boo


Karmon: Uh, Tom, would you like to stay and have dinner with us?


Burnett: Yes, please do! We're having soul food!

Tom: I would like that very much

Korman: Oh, by the way, Tom. I saw "Julia" on TV the other night and I loved it.

Tom: [dead pan]: Thank you


Korman: Well, my fellow citizens, thank you for spending this time with me, my beloved family, and my close friends. [blows tuning whistle] 




[singing to the tune "The Sidewalks of New York"]

Cast: Negros, Catholics, Protestants, and Jews
We sure hope that we will be the mayor that you choose

Korman: As a public servant, 
You have seen how I serve

Cast: So if you reelect him,
You will get what you deserve


[dog wanders away off screen]
