This is my grandmother.....she turned 100 2 days ago...must be the spunk that got her to 100.....either that or good Italian genes.....by the way, she always had a good singing voice.

I loved how she just got up there on stage, no stagefright at all and she just OWNED it.

Terry: "You screwed it up!" Carol: "Sorry!" Carol had NO EGO -- she knew that letting the other people shine made her shine!

Sweet Lord! when TV was just incredible. How I miss those days.

Carol just talked about this on Conan O'Brien's podcast. This lady was gold! Should have been in the cast.

She knew how to command an audience... such stage presence

I am so surprised the producers of Maude didn't hire this woman for an episode. It would have been really funny.

Carol Burnett recounts that story, but I didn’t realize how good the woman sang.

One of the greatest spontaneous moments on Carol's show EVER.

This lady would have killed on America's Got Talent. Pure joy.

carol was truly DYING on this.. laughing her head off.. as was the audience. and BRILLIANT to let the woman sing..

This is one of those beautiful moments in television

Conan brought me here. This shows good tv is timeless. I don’t know how many decades old this is. I was absolutely captivated from beginning to end.

There's talent that shines....and there is talent so huge that it makes everyone around it shine, too. That's Carol Burnett.

Carol's face when the lady says, "You Made Me Love You in the key of G."

Carol's great sense of Improv shows what a great performer she is.

My condolences; Terri was incredibly talented. This clip is one of the best from the Carol Burnett Show!

This was fabulous! What's so funny is that this lady (Terry McCann) took control and made it her moment.

"You Made Me Love You " is one of my all time favorites and, this audience member Terri McCann really did a beautiful rendition of it...I wish I could have heard her sing all the way through to end!! She vocalized such a beautiful tone and perfect vibrato for this song!! She's now with the angelic choir in the heavenly realm!

I just saw Carol Burnett this week at the Tilles Center in NY This 100 year old lady just passed away and Carol mentioned that this clip was played at her memorial service There was no setup Just spontaneous fun !!

If this happened today, not only would it go viral, but it would probably make the rounds on every news program known to mankind.

This was a great memory of my grandmother. We had a vhs copy of this growing up.

Saw Carol's show last night in chicago, and she showed this clip. So many years later, it had the entire audience rolling! Timeless!

I just now listened to this story on Conan O’Brien’s podcast and just had to view this video. It was so worth it! You’re grandmother has been gone for awhile, but she made me smile today! 🥰

Heard this story in Conan's Podcast from Carol Burnett and I just had to look it up. Amazing.

I was as surprised by watching this as I was when Susan Boyle sang on Britain's Got Talent. Only this woman can not only sing, she has a great stage presence as well.

There was another such occasion in 1977. A member of the audience asked Carol how he might go about auditioning to sing for her show. Carol said 'well come on up! " and Dennis Ammack(I am guessing from what it sounded like on the clip) sang 'What I did for Love' from Chorus Line. Before he was done, he was joined on stage by Steve Lawerence and of course Carol. He was pretty damn good too, but he sure was nervous. Its the last thing he expected but he got one hell of a memory and story.

Terri McCann went to be with the Lord June 6th. We will miss her! Sing on, GG, we love you!

I remember seeing this when I was a kid. She just went up there and killed it. Great piece of television history. RIP Ma'am.

I remember this episode in real time (I’m 63) and it cracked me up, loved The Carol Burnett Show, thanks.

Wow, she was definitely a dead-ringer for Bea Arthur, wasn't she? That was awesome! :D

What a wonderful performance by this beautiful woman, you can defendantly tell that the audience loved her very much and especially Carol Burnette herself by her actions onstage as well as her fondest memories years late of this show. What a class act this was!!!! Loved them both.

Who else is here cuz you saw Carol talk about this on Conan

One of if not the greatest moment ever on the show. We watched every week and I remember seeing this when it originally aired. Truly amazing. My condolences to the family for your loss.

I never get tired of watching this clip! It's fantastic. Terry McCann did a fantastic job, and Carol was fantastic also! I know I've commented on this clip before, but it's so good! Thank you!

What happened to stars with such class and who were such fun! What a real pleasure to watch.

Why they did not give this woman a singing contract promptly after this show is beyond me!!! she is amazing!!!

Goosebumps. When a great song of all time is sung with abandon by those who did not rehearse and Wows You!

I've seen this video many times over the years, and when I need a smile on my face or when I need a good laugh, I watch it because it's so entertaining, and it's a personal favorite of mine! Thank you for sharing it with us!

I saw this first run as a kid. It stuck with me. It's my Roman Empire

I always loved watching Carol, Burnett, and friends and amazing show lots of talent! She really did look like Bea Arture!! what an honor to be on stage with such a legend Carol Burnett is the best!

This was Carol Burnett's best opening ever.

I can't stop smiling from joy after seeing this, it was great.👳💖

Wonderful singer. She has made me love this song and her version most of all. Greetings from Santiago de Chile

2020 and still watching in the middle of this pandemic

okay, this is coming from a fully grown straight Black male who was born AFTER the time of show tunes but just in time to know who Carol is and watch golden Girls... THIS is Sassy as all HELL. Bea was a songstress and couldn;t have done BETTER herself. and they say the 70s was all dull and disco! Awesome upload, Pal!

I remember when this aired originally. A very talented lady.

Carol Burnett sill makes me smile and laugh---after all of these years (I'm 56). And now---this woman with Carol just takes the cake!

Just saw this episode of Carol Burnett Show. This woman was INCREDIBLE!! If she wasn't Bea Arthur, she should be...

So great! I remember when this happened. I wanted to grow up and be just like this lady! ♡

She had star quality. Absolutely delightful and what a voice

That was when tv was good. Real talent

Life is so. Beautiful sometimes.

❤😂🎉 Sister served that "T" (Talent)!

God Bless,Terri McCann ! You are forever a 🌟 star! So sorry,for your loss!

I remember watching this! I was just a kid but I remember it so clearly!

Incredible television moment!

This lady was amazing. Such charisma and talent!!

Saw this the 1st time it aired on CBS when The Carol Burnett show was at its peak and she is still with us in 2024 90 yrs young.

She's heaven I saw this as a kid and my mom was going wild laughing

I loved that show. Carol Burnett is such a sweet wonderful funny lady, and she just loved her audience so much... she was so sweet to give so many the spot light, even if it was for only a bit. She's one of the greatest. ❤️

What a natural.

Class. Carol had Class. And a touch of the divine... I remember laughing for two days about some of her skits and performances such as this. Thank you so very much for sharing. You've made me love you and frankly... I... aww forget it!

OMG, this was absolutely hilarious. I laughed so hard, and that’s such a good thing in the times we’re in. Thank you ❤❤❤

Beautiful grandmother

I remember watching this when I was young she did a fantastic job!

One of the few good memories I have of my Father is him laughing at the Carol Burnett show. Thanks Carol❤.

This makes my night. Love seeing musicians improv.

This is so classic!!! I loved this as a kid! I mean what a great episode and this was just the introduction!! Thanks for posting!

This clip was simply HILARIOUS!Growing up I loved Carol and Maude so for me Carol's involvement in the routine was the best comedy. And this Maude look-a-like was surprisingly on point and spot on terrific! Great fun!!! Thanks for posting!

Two amazing performers!!

This is terrific. Laugh out loud guffaw funny. Carol knew how to have fun. Thanks for sharing.

This is wonderful viewing. I’m just watching Carol’s 90th birthday celebration show. As the saying goes, They don’t make em like that anymore.

What a wonderful spontaneous moment. Fantastic!

This would never happen today. Kudos to the band from the Carol Burnett show. They had just as much fun with this. When I’ve had a really bad day, or I’m a little depressed or what have you, I play this. Several times. And suddenly I’ve left behind what was weighing me down.

She waited for this moment her whole life

I'm old enough to remember actually seeing this on tv. Thanks😂😂

you have a WONDERFUL grandmother. Treasure her always ;p. That clip has brought me so much joy so many times.

Delightful, love this. Real talent just straight out of the audience.

I remember when this aired originally! It was and still is wonderful.

I wonder how close Maude and the Carol Burnett Show were from each other in terms of studio location. That would have been REALLY funny if the real Maude came down the aisle and joined them!!!

That was amazing! Now that is true reality TV.

Loved this. I watched 2x

She's adorable!!

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this clip. I come back and watch it a couple times a year on rough days! It always makes me laugh.

This is so great! 🎤❤️‍🔥Imagine all the people out there with their amazing talents, that will never be heard on a large stage. She had her moment, and I bet that stayed with her the rest of her life. 🥹

I'm a wreck, I actually remember this episode and said the same thing when the camera panned on her! How ironic to see this uploaded here!!😀 Because Maude actually wore this type of clothing on her show and her hair was the same gray.

Damn. Now that's talent! Great voice and charisma.

This is tough to beat

I've seen this clip so many times, and i have a hard time believing this was all at random, because this lady is such a natural wonderful performer!

Just wonderful 👏🏻🎶

This makes me laugh every time I see this one!! Too funny!

I remember when this actually aired. Back then, most people didn't have VCRs, so, 'til I just saw it (a few minutes ago) on TV, I'd forgotten about it. I'd love to hear what ever became of Ms Terry McCann (if that's her correct spelling). She really has so much (I hate to say the word)...'spunk', as did the lady from the easy coast, who - in typical New York-ese. I also Render a tiny woman from an audience (several years earlier), and the reason I remember her, odd because Carol LOVED her name; 'Theresa Renteria'. Theresa was only about 17-ish, and Carol loved cunning up with puns in her name, etc, but Terry McCann, here is priceless.

My god she looks just like Bea!! And what a voice! I always thought my aunt Phyllis resembled Bea Arthur, but that doesnt come close to this lady.

I love her , absolutely amazing. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

😂 It's funny that I actually remember when this aired! It was just as funny back then!

This put a BIG smile on my face! Thanks for uploading this! xoxo

What an amazing and extraordinary woman! This clip made my day!

I remember when I first watched this segment on the actual 1970s broadcast. My first thought was, oh no, another amateur who’s going to stink up the show (like today’s “soul” singers). And then she commanded the conductor to play the song in the proper key for her voice, and she was AMAZING!

Fantastic !!!!!!!!!!!!
