Exactly. And it's pretty dire out there. This speaks to the quality of the entertainers!

Didn't even realize it was that long at first!

Yes, pure entertainment!

Same.

Damn what a show. Please let me find this again

Hello Marjory, How are you doing?

I loved Carol Brunet 💕

I used to watch her show as a kid in the 80s

GOOD time to be alive 👍🏽🇺🇸🦅💪🏽

This iS🌈WONDErFUL.

jeanthree international treasures! Their music is among our best exports, but luckily we still have them right here in America!

Absolutely!

They're castratos.

These GirLS ROCK, Lol.

I was about to write the SAME THING!!😂

Carol canning😆😂

Loops carol can sang😬😬😇

Damn...can sang😄

Rhonda Boncutter, you could even reverse those occupations - Dolly is funny as hell in her performances and interviews, and Carol sang on Broadway.

And Carol always claimed she couldn't sing. To that, I say "HA!"

Wow! What year was that?

@@linda_guitar8869 I think it was 1977 or 1978.

@@beckyhalvorsen2126 Thank you!

Wow, was that at the Ryman?

Shame carol became a nut.

Right? Most "comedy" is ridiculous now and ruined by things no one wants to hear.

@@scootermom1791 the 1960's and 70's had the most raunchy comedy ever written. You had to buy the album....but try Redd Foxx for a start 😆

@@richardchase4019 when I first read this, I processed "Redd Foxx" as "Jeff Foxworthy" (remember him?). I haven't heard of Redd Foxx. I'll have to check him out when I can get the chance.

Hello Donna, How are you doing?[

Oh yeah! when my parents had a dinner party, I got to stay up late, and watch shows that were usually off-limits. On Friday, it was some cop show-- they came and went-- but Saturday was always CAROL BURNETT!!

Jonathan Smith Jt did you ever meet Gillian Welch or her adoptive parents, Who wrote the music for the Carol Burnett show?

@@blythespirit4077 Hi Blythe, I might have met them . We rehearsed for 2 weeks . There were so many people involved. Writers, choreographers an directors . I know they were probably there but don't remember personally meeting them. All of Carol's support staff from the Carol Burnett show were there . I remember meeting Ken an Mitzi Welch. The writers . Everyone involved were amazing! We all had jobs to do. It felt like one big family. Where everyone respected each others talent . Looking back it was a lot of fun . I was a dancer plus we were in the comedy skits with Dolly an Carol. Dolly an Carol are so nice. How you see them on TV is how they are in real life . Down to earth real people. The other Carol Burnett special I did was Sills an Burnett at the Met. Then yrs later with Dolly in Nashville. It was a long time ago but happy to answer anyone's questions. If my memory doesn't fail me. Lol.

Jonathan Smith Thank you, Jonathan. You had some amazing experiences. Could you let me know where you live now? You can always message me on messenger. It’s so nice to read your perspective - and you were right there! My facebook messenger is Blythe Bieging. Thanks again!

@@blythespirit4077 Hi Blythe,. Not sure if you got my reply to your question. Currently I live on in Las Vegas. Spend the summer at the lake in Wisconsin. When I did Dolly an Carol I lived in NYC. Some of the dancers were from Los Angeles the rest from NYC . Forgot the name of the hotel we stayed at. But it was really nice. The grand ole opry hotel? Thanks for your questions it was one of the high points in my life. Thanks, jt smith

Jonathan Smith Thank you Jonathan! i received your reply today. I hope you are enjoying Las Vegas. I have fond memories of Vegas. But, it has changed so quickly!

And they should include Louis, and every audience performer who is still alive, as well!

I second the notion of a Dolly Carol reunion.

@@gotfullertlynnennenga4590 Thanks! Maybe we should start a petition for one on Change.org or a similar site!

Here’s an article about little Lewis - Lewis Phillips -- as a successful bluegrass musician today. twestival.fm/lewis-phillips-bluegrass/ In fact, you can see some clips of the adult Lewis here on KZfaq. So again, when this pandemic lockdown is over (hopefully soon!), time for a reunion of those three!

Someone should start a campaign for the two of them to get together again!! It worked when Betty White hosted SNL. Let's get a groundswell going!!

My wife and I were just yesterday watching an episode of The Carol Burnett Show from March of 78 and the audience asked her if there was anyone she wanted to collaborate with to do a special and she said she was trying to get in touch with Dolly and here they are less than a year later! It was better than we could have imagined! The crazy thing is we came upon this video at random from the KZfaq algorithm.

I would not doubt that my family watched this, I was probably in bed, as I was 2.5.

This Show iS Funny!!!!!

I agree. Today is absolutely nothing but reality. Why would I want 💯 reality when I'm looking at tv for a break from reality. Do I really care who makes the world's best cupcake in 3 minutes?

@@styldsteel1 the word should be in quotes. “Reality”

@@karenwaddell9396 right! I agree

Happy Camper Carol is still multi-talented! She’s still performing at 86!

Pickin

Yelp lmao

Oh my goodness! You are absolutely correct! Lol super funny! 🙂

My thought exactly!

Ellen we sure could use some😉

Me too. Carol, Laugh-In, That Was the Week that Was and, later, the early seasons of SNL.

There are these singing and talent shows on TV, but they're not fun (for me anyway) to watch, cuz there's generally no instrumental music and the vocals sound the same (to me) from singer to singer

I agree ☝️ I only watch the old shows on me tv

Especially with all the swearing and insinuations that we have today.

That little boy is all grown up now, with a family of his own. Sang and played for many years with his mother's family. The Lewis family, look them up, be a nice suprise.

Carol as well.

@@bcaye -Not so much.

@@jerrybrownell3633 oh yes, depends on your point of view. Carol is as much a natural at what she does as Dolly. Love them both.

@@jerrybrownell3633 ??!!!!!!! She is though…

Hello Rhonda How are you doing today?

Hi Carol hope you’re okay?

Carol's co-star Vicki Lawrence and Dolly played dueling grannies on the Hannah Montana show for a few seasons. Their rivalry over who was more important to Miley (and Elvis) made some great scripts.

It's sad to know, no one will ever live like this again.

Hi Brenda hope you're okay?

Carol even looked kind of hot

I bet it's more like they specifically invited a LOT of professionals to attend and specifically asked those invitees to bring instruments and join in. After all if you're playing Nashville why not take advantage of all that available talent? Sure made for a good show.

@@dontaylor7315 Yes Indeed. I felt so happy to watch this show.

Probably not as random as that but it was fun nonetheless.

I don't even subscribe to current TV. I was born in 1961 and growing up was a heavy TV watcher, but most of TV now is junk. I only watch the NBC Nightly News on you tube and all the "Got Talent" shows from America and around the world. I constantly re-watch old shows from the 50s and 60s like Lucy & Dick Van Dyke.

Rhonda: Scroll up for the links that tell you what the little boy, now 49, has done throughout his career. He's still pickin'. 🙂

Hi Pat hope you’re okay?

Saturday nights though :)

When I was growing up Sunday nights meant Lassie on CBS at 7pm, Ed Sullivan at 8pm. Later years Sunday was The Jeffersons, Alice, Kojak.

Hi Wanda hope you’re okay?

Hi Penny hope you’re okay?

Hello there, How are you doing ?

@Loretta Lynn Official Channel Do you want my bank account and credit card info?

Totally agree.

In my house as well. I feel blessed I grew up at that time.

Except the Captain was later arrested for...was it cocaine possession!? No kidding

@@ttnnaples8060 I don't know. Never heard much about him after I started school.

@@ttnnaples8060 Citation needed. Your comment might have fallen from the east end of a west-bound bull.

Who was the female banjo player in the audience

I had smile the whole time...

I think there is a cable channel that shows old variety shows but I don't have the name of it.

John w I wonder if he still has it! Here’s an article about little Lewis - Lewis Phillips -- as a successful bluegrass musician today. twestival.fm/lewis-phillips-bluegrass/ In fact, you can see some clips of the adult Lewis here on KZfaq.

I wonder if it was really Lewis' banjo to begin with and Carol was just borrowing it for the skit.

Hello Janice, How are you doing?

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?

Yeah, means you have a heart! Good for you!

I'm 54 and I feel the same way. I was born too late... Although I grew up watching The Carol Burnett Show and Dolly Parton perform. Love love love them.

@@grandmapaula04 I'm your age. From Europe (Holland). Now I can watch these shows we never saw on television. I love to watch the Dean Martin shows too. Over and over....

Sounds like you have great taste too! 😉

Kelsey Crider I’m a child of the 70s and said the same thing. From the music now a days I’m starting to really appreciate the music of my time because it just seems to get worse and worse as time went by.

@Sue Taft so so many white people

@@deaconknight9658 hell yeah 🇺🇸✌

Hi Theresa hope you’re okay?

@Dion St. Michael Well, you can ALWAYS say that Texas is full of it and not be wrong.

I read somewhere that she based Eunice's accent on her mom's.

@@dontaylor7315 That would certainly make sense.

@@byronp2311 yeah the first few Eunice skits I saw back in the day I even assumed the setting was in Texas just because of the accent. I had a West Texas mama and an East Texas daddy ( 2 different accents) and I grew up on the South Texas border (yet another accent). In Austin where I live now all roads converge so you can hear every dialect and regional speech.

@@dontaylor7315 While I grew up in Tulsa, I actually had your basic mid-western accent because I was addicted to TV and that was standard. Been in Austin since '72 and suspect I've developed some sort of Texas accent by this point.

Hi Rita hope you’re okay?
