She and Joan Rivers were the modern embodiment when I was a kid of pioneer female comics. Carol and her variety show format tv show, and Joan’s Vergas act stood on their own without any pity/guilt hiring involved. The Amy Schumer’s and Chelsea Handler ‘s of today would fold under the weight.
Just finished watching her birthday special. Brought back a lot of memories from watching her TV show. She is one of a kind. I hope she had a great birthday.
The Carol Burnett show was the first non-kids show I remember being excited to see every week. My first foray into “adult” entertainment. Still a massive fan and I believe that show is the funniest American sketch show ever. (There is not a tremendous amount of stiff competition here, but still…)
Carol Burnette?
She had great crew on her weekly show. I still pull up some skits from time-to-time.
Call SNL she should guest host
Didn’t she play the kidnapped woman on the old original “that darn cat”?
Love her.
It’s like a cross between Aubrey plaza and Tim Curry.

No wonder that special is on this night

Celebrating with her best friend Julie Andrews no doubt….

She’s great in season 6 of Better Call Saul.
