My favorite Carol Burnett story: I was having lunch at a place near the Sony lot near Culver City, seated outdoors on a pretty day. A tourist women at an adjacent table said -- way too loudly -- "Look, honey. That woman looks just like Carol Burnett!" And Carol turned all the way around in her chair and, looking the tourist couple straight in the eye, grinned and did her trademark ear tug maneuver. I'm sure that lady told that story to anyone within earshot for decades after. How cool is that? Carol was and remains a super warm, kind, and incredibly intelligent woman.

@JomerTB Ай бұрын

Conan as always the master interviewer. No excessive laughing, perfect setups to questions, and few interruptions that compliment Carol's storytelling and don't take anything away from her message. Masterclass.

@JomerTB Ай бұрын

Only excessive interruption was that Miller Lite commercial in-between lol

@justmejustme4444 Ай бұрын

Because Conan is a real fan of nostalgia and that period of TV you know that his compliments towards Carol are authentic, he is not just sucking up to Carol.

I'm 46 and The Carol Burnett Show was right before my time. But yet I have seen every episode from the first to the last which made me cry. I miss comedy that was just silly stories even though I love Saturday Night Live and what it does now there's something about the comedy from that era that is so pure because the comedy is from such a good place even when it portrays the villain or something like that

Two decades plus after her show ended I would watch it every night on reruns. Someone growing up today could laugh with her show just as much as I did, and just as much as my dad did when they were new.

@tuvantrader Ай бұрын

I, like many, have fond memories of seeing the Carol Burnett Show as a kid (in reruns). It was a kind of comedy that was pure, joyful, and playful; even as a kid, I could sense the authenticity of it-the way sketches would sometimes break down and nobody could keep it together and you could tell everyone on that stage was having a good time, that was often the best because the audience and performers would laugh together. Thank you, Carol Burnett! The world is better for you being in it. 🙏

@petecartwright5211 Ай бұрын

I grew up on Carol Burnett, the Smothers Brothers, the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour, and even the gong show. I was too young to understand most of it but remember it all. It was what we did at night back then. I was a kid when shows like Lost in Space and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea kept me enthralled with what I now consider to be outrageously goofy stuff. MY cartoons were the Warner Bros classics. My folks watched Burnett's show without fail. Now, I realize how fortunate and blessed I was to have been raised during that time. Those shows were a passing phase of us, soon to be lost to the more modern times and tastes. They detailed and described a society that thought and acted completely differently than what is today.

It's interesting how the Carol Burnett show was seen by so many people when it aired in America because there were so few channels, so it was this ubiquitous cultural event in a way no modern show can be to Americans, but at the same time, it happened back when most shows were not broadcast internationally, let alone broadcast live internationally, so that seemingly universal experience was quite limited to people who lived where the show actually aired. I think only 13 episodes were ever broadcast in the UK, and I'm not sure how many regional networks in neighbouring countries like Canada and Mexico even aired it.

I'm not the only one. The problem is it's covered in the muck of beliefs. You are not a belief and the truth of your being is so close to you you cannot see it. Thought experiment: imagine you had to send your child off into the world and you could give them one thing that could protect them against Everything. Would you do it? Well you are that device. Your own being is what is unshakable, unmovable and can't be touched by one single thing leaving you forever safely in the arms of our pops. The power you are imbued with is the power of our Creator as the indigenous. This is why your life feels so real and strong. You make it so by giving yourself over to thought and belief. You are the animator of your world. How could it be any other way? Suffice it to say you cannot die, only your body does and most people go straight to thinking that sounds like a lot of harm to me. I would agree, from your perspective it feels true. Change your perspective by recognizing the difference in thought and feeling. They are what we mistake for ourselves because in the end you cannot describe yourself outside of thought. In fact you will never be able to identify yourself. You don't exist as you understand it. It's really not so fantastic. Lucid reasoning step by step will take you there. Dispassion is your friend. I think Conan and Drew B. Would do well together on TV. They both have the same spirit it seems. There are good people.
