You Know The Voice: John Byner (1973)

 John Byner was one of the guests on this season 6 episode of The Carol Burnett Show, portions of which you've probably seen in the syndicated Carol Burnett & Friends. Chief among the skits is Donald Duck (Byner with makeup, including a too small bill) being told by a studio boss (Harvey Korman), under pressure from his boss (Lyle Waggoner), that his contract is being terminated.

Petula Clark is our musical guest.


I think the makeup for Byner as Donald Duck was so "Donald" could speak coherently, something that was almost impossible in cartoons until the 80's.
