I just watched this video in April 2023. I am 60 years old. Carol is so right about Saturday Night being “Appointment TV” back then. As a preteen/teenager, I can remember so many Saturday nights sitting in my Grandma’s Living Room with my younger brother and all three of us laughing during The Carol Burnett Show. Listening to Carol talk about it brings back so many wonderful memories of being young and fun times of being with my Grandma and my brother. Life is very different now. I am really looking forward to watching “The Carol Burnett 90th Birthday Special” on NBC this Wednesday, April 26, 2023. Happy 90th Birthday #CarolBurnett…I still Love You! ❤️
i grew up in the 90s and don't care much for older TV shows. Carol Burnett Show is in a whole other category as far as i can tell, the parodies she did of movies like Gone With the Wind are a million times more funnier than anything SNL has ever done.
As a family, we were living in Mpls/St.Paul. I found out last minute that Carol was doing a show downtown, and it was too late to get tickets. On a whim, I called the theater and talked to her secretary, and asked for signed pics from Carol for our two kids. She did it with personalized messages for each kid! And to this day, I'm mad I didn't ask for one, myself! She is our family's favorite comedienne.
🎼 “I’m so glad we had this time together, just to have a laugh or sing a song. Seems we just get started, and before we know it, comes the time we have to say, So long.” 🎶 Carol left an imprint of love on all of us. Blessed are we. 😪
Carol Burnett paid her dues, went from the lowest lows to the heights of stardom. I loved her show with its ensemble performers, but more than that, I respected her for ability to make everyone laugh, never took herself that seriously, and always shared the spotlight with everyone.
Carol has been my favorite since I was a little kid - I grew up watching her show. There is still NOTHING that compares to her genius on TV. A true class act who knew comedy was a group effort.
Absolutely... love the Carol Burnett show! it was me and my parents ...my brothers would watch it every week. I remember all of sitting there laughing you know.... hanging out the same room together! I think its something almost unheard of today... which is truly sad to me.
She is a comedy ICON. And there never has been ,nor ever will be anyone like her . Savor her presence among us because her time on this Earth is growing short
She has my complete admiration. She was such a humongous bungle of talent and energy, she literally knocks me off my feet. Even Lucille Ball, with all her world-wide talent claimed Carol to be the torch-bearer of comedy. She could sing, dance and had a repertoire of so many comedic tricks tucked inside her sleeve, she herself was literally floored when she delivered these to the audience. You can go around the world scouting for talent, and if you find someone with half as much talent as Carol possessed, you'll be lucky. Meanwhile, you can enjoy all her interviews of yesteryear on this wonderful RUclips channel.
A genuinely beautiful soul who only wanted to lighten life’s load by making us laugh each week. The complexion of your entire day can change in a second with laughter, Carol helped all of us start our day over when we had a tough one and brought members of my family closer making us laugh together. Oh how I wish I could go back to my childhood living room with my mom and dad now long passed right there laughing at Eunice.
I grew up watching those same movies and I absorbed them too. I think some of my naiveness comes from that. It somehow pumped me up so much that when real life dissapointments came I would tell myself the same thing and kept going.Carol's show lifted me up during tough times. It allowed me to escape and laugh then I would feel so much better after watching her show. Carol is a National Treasure.....Love & Light.
This woman is a great legend of stage, screen and the movies 🎥 but she's hilarious, funny, smart,witty, crazy she owned TV... I adored this lady she did everything clean,a little risky but it looked like fun
I was born in 1972 This lady believe it or not made little black girls dream especially me my family watch the carol Burnett show every Saturday religiously she was just beautiful her skin is like porcelain her outfits her talent and like Steve Harvey said people should realize that not all black folks just watched good times or the Jeffersons 🤣 in the 70s no we had some Caucasian shows and entertainment that made a impact on out lives as well she is everything a brilliant talented beautiful woman that makes you smile and laugh with joy 🥰
Isn't it something the beautiful Linda Darnell speaking to a very young Carol on a Hollywood street? Little did she know that she was helping a future Hollywood icon! Amazing encounter!
I enjoyed this interview! Thank You Carol! Something that stood out to me was at the 16:20 mark ("Comics say funny things, Comedians say things funny")
@@roseannsanders2778 They both quoted it as having heard it from Jack Benny...and maybe he heard it from someone else. IDK for sure. But the saying holds true. Benny's humor...either you liked it or you didn't. I thought his characters were funny, and he was always smart enough to give everyone the best lines, particularly Eddie Anderson. Steve Allen was someone else who, while he came on the scene much later than Jack Benny, also had a very insightful view on what made comedians funny.
Ms Burnett leapt off the stage and "Once Upon a Matress" into my family TV. I and my family loved her, her cast and show from beginning to end. Her show ended its run too soon for us all just like her hero Sid Caesar's show.
I had never really thought about her being a guest host on SNL. Then when they had Betty White as a guest host. I saw a comment by someone that they hoped that SNL will have Carrol Burnett on soon. Immediately I felt that the reason that they never asked her to be on is that she was so far out of their league. Carrol Burnett would have made SNL look like amateur hour.
I don't think Carol really even knows this about herself, but her comedy was indeed so physical, down to even the facial expressions, the way she moved her mouth, everything. So after her show ended she got some work done, mainly to her chin. She felt like she had an ugly chin that came out too far. Thing is, she forever changed her expression and just didn't come off as funny as a result. May we all learn from Barbra Streisand: if you've got it, it's a gift, if you f*** with it you risk losing "it." So don't f*** with it.
Her show started in late 1967, by which point Judy Garland's health was terrible. I know she was on Dick Cavett's early show, not long before her death.
@@bobtaylor170 Naw. Hear me out. In 1967, she played the Palace Theater from July 31, through August 26th and sold out every performance. After that, she played a series of outdoor concerts all over the east coast and Midwest. On August 30th, 1967, Judy played the Boston Common in front of an estimated 108,000 people. She clearly wasn’t Carnegie Hall Judy, but she could own an audience. This is Judy on November 7, 1968. A month before Cavett. Difference is, she had been in the hospital with an infected tooth, which meant she wasn’t suffering the drying effects that her meds had on her throat. She was in complete control, and sounded MARVELOUS. I literally teared up the first time I heard this. ruclips.net/video/yeq2Gbols8E/видео.html Two days from now, June 10th, 2022, would have been her 100th birthday she passed away in 1969 and people still hunger for her talent. They even lit the Empire State Building in rainbow colors in her honor.
WEIRD PHOTOSHOPED PHOTO … at 32 mins 59 secs into video of black & white photo of Carol on stage … but if one looks closely at audience, one will see several double duplications of the same person of several people … so guess this audience is not real???
Love Carol! She's second only to Lucy. But kinda disappointed in her with her infomercial selling her Carol Burnett show. How much more does she need and esp at this age??
You have no clue how that money is distributed, or what she does with her money. If you'd created a product that people still wanted to buy after 40 years, I'd bet you'd be dancing all the way to the bank!
What more could she do by sitting on the IP? It's better to make a profit off it one last time by selling it to someone else who will insure it continues to be seen by future generations. That's just business and these types of deals are part of said business. Her age is irrelevant in this matter. It was her property, and she was free to do with it as she saw fit. That's the beauty of owning things in America.
She and Lucy are very different performers. Lucy did Lucy Ricardo or pretty much a variation of that and Carol did many more different characters. Carol was a variety show comedian and Lucy was more of a regular comedian. They were both great but very different.

Carol, you are a gem of this world!
I had the honor of meeting Carol Burnett at a taping of Carol & Company. She was so friendly and kind. Just a beautiful spirit.
My mom and grandmother met her on a streetcorner 😂
I adore this woman. So intelligent. Carole is a star and always will be.

My grandmother wouldn't watch the show with me. She couldn't stand Carol's cussing
i grew up in the 90s and don't care much for older TV shows. Carol Burnett Show is in a whole other category as far as i can tell, the parodies she did of movies like Gone With the Wind are a million times more funnier than anything SNL has ever done.
Thanks for all the laughter. ♥️♥️♥️
Carol is THE BEST!! I met her in 1998 and she couldn't be Sweeter or Nicer or More REAL!! She is a GEM!!! xoxoxoxoo
This woman is a national treasure! Such class and charm, loved this interview! I have so many fond memories of watching her growing up!
As a family, we were living in Mpls/St.Paul. I found out last minute that Carol was doing a show downtown, and it was too late to get tickets.

I have loved her all my life
I have her book,but I like this interview much better, thanks all❤ John Barnett ❤California Love Notes to All ❤

Wonderful woman! Great comedian! Wish she still did a show now and then. Loved her specials with Julie Andrews.
One of the best comediennes along with lucy

What dues....she was lucky 🙄
Still an all time favorite of mine. I love Carol, Tim, Harvey, Vicki and Lyle. That was when tv was good

I love Carol Burnett show and her guests. She was the Best in the business and I wish she would do some more shows. 💖💖💖💖🙏🙏🙏🙏
I miss her show
Very talented woman. And still very pretty at her age, she's amazing.
Carol I love you now and forever
I absolutely love her. I loved watching her show as a kid and now I love it even more ❤❤

Carol Burnett is one of my favorite actresses. I don't know why.
I love Carol. She was great actress, comedian and human being. Loved her show. I loved to act out from the story.
Had the pleasure to meet her where I worked in Montecito. She is the nicest most down to earth person.
Very popular here in Australia early-mid seventies, she deserves legend status, wonderful ambassador for her country, VERY highly regarded

Bob Newhart--same program (Pioneers of Television)--said the same thing...and it is oh, so true.
@@jessfrankel5212 I noticed that, too, as I had just seen the one with Bob Newhart.
@@roseannsanders2778 They both quoted it as having heard it from Jack Benny...and maybe he heard it from someone else. IDK for sure. But the saying holds true.

@@jessfrankel5212 Agree! I also think that Tim Conway is right up there with the rest of the greats in comedy, although Newhart is my favorite.
Grow up watching Carol Burnett show. I love her and everybody on that show.
Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I really enjoyed the video as a kid my parents used to watch the carol Burnett show Sunday evening at 7pm😊
What a wonderful lady
She’s a wonderfully story teller
Carol Burnett was a wonderful person and good friends with Lucille Ball, two great ladies 😃
I love Carol Burnett. She was great on Gomer Pyle.
Class act!
Tim Conway was a school teacher in Phoenix, he was the best!
Ms Burnett leapt off the stage and "Once Upon a Matress" into my family TV. I and my family loved her, her cast and show from beginning to end.
Her show ended its run too soon for us all just like her hero Sid Caesar's show.
Love her!
She lived in San Antonio too!

What year was this filmed? I wish this info was in the description.
I’d guess about a decade ago
Definitely after 2008 because she refers to Harvey having died.
She is a wonderful person and was friends with Lucille Ballm two great ladies!
❤❤
Carol Burnett would probably have done the same thing that Sid Caesar did in telling the extra to come back the next week after his mistake...
You are as beautiful as always
John Foster Dulles may have been dull, but the never named an airport after Elvis.
