This is what a legend looks like.
Carol Burnett and her grandmother used to go to my father's restaurant, Joe's Little Italy, on Cahuenga between Selma and Sunset, my mother was the cashier/hostess, and my mother would always tell me about Carol Burnett, like when she ran into her when she was an usher at a theater on Hollywood Blvd. I attended Selma Avenue School in the 4th grade (1954) and Carol Burnett's sister Christine was in my class. I've often wondered is it was my mother who sent the fifty dollar bill. If Ms. B or her grandmother had said something, I can see my mother doing something about that tuition money! We'll never know, my mother passed in 1986.
Wow. I wish you could have known to ask her! That started the whole thing! I’m going to believe it was she. ❤️
As amazing as it must've been to speak with Carol Brunett, I totally feel you, Tom, about getting back to Canada from that crazy country.
Carol Burnett is a goddess and a legend. She certainly helped pave the way for female actresses/comedians in Hollywood. Without Carol (and few others), we probably wouldn't have a Kristen Wiig. Looking forward to seeing "Palm Royale".
What a delightful interview! CAROL BURNETT IS A LEGEND! Thanks Tom! Great interview.
I've heard her tell these same stories in many interviews and every single time it's like she's never told it before. Always wonderful enthusiasm and gratefulness. What a woman.
She does not look 90! Amazing!!
The hardships that Carol has endured throughout her life (and rising above all of it) and continuing to bring such joy into people’s lives, is remarkably inspiring.
God bless. 🙏
Fascinating stories!
What a lovely, and respectful interview... I hate to disagree with Carol though... Yes, there was Lucy... but if there hadn't been a Carol who carried the torch... well, we all know she really is a living legend and I'm sooo glad she is still doing her (amazing) thing! Thank you for being a large part of my childhood. Grateful for the Carol Burnett Show years! (and she's being so Carol, in Palm Royale).
I agree. I was literally thrilled when I saw her in Palm Royale. She had a scene in which she didn't say a word, and I thought it was hilarious! It made me so happy to see her and to know that she is still as she has always been, and hasn't missed a beat. I love her as I love my own mother. :)
and Lucille Ball's comic icons were Carole Lombard and Marion Davies.
One of the nicest kindest most talented people from whom I ever received an autograph. Can't wait to see Palm Royale!
The best interview I have witnessed in decades❤You make people safe and comfortable 😊😊😊😊
I’m so glad she’s still with us. I’ve adored her since I was a very little girl.
Just three random thoughts:
1. How can you be so iconic and yet so adorably approachable and humble! Pure class!
2. This woman's life needs to be made into a motion picture biopic pronto. Why wait until she's no longer around? They did it for Elton John, etc., so get on it, Hollywood!
3. Good Lord, she looks so amazingly good and natural for being in her 90s. Whatever work she's had done (if any) is totally undetectable. Take a lesson, ladies.. this is how it's done if you wish to age gracefully, effortlessly and with class. She still has such a fun, youthful vibe too. When I look at her, I just see a vibrant woman in her 70s, tops. She's just ageless.
Carol Burnett is the personification of Truth, Humility, Kindness, Grace and FUN!! Her attitudes about life and towards others put the "CIVIL" back in civilization. Aspiring to this way of being in the world benefits EVERYONE!! XoXo
Carol Burnett, always a class act. ... ... ... One of the rare true greats still around.
Carol is a gift from God
Carol Burnett ❤ a truly wonderful woman and great comedian.
Carol Burnett saying that if she'd never been born, they'd (Kristin Wiig and others) would be doing exactly what they are doing.It is always an inspiration to see those that came before you. That is where the spark of desire is born. She paved the way for them, as other did for her.
Thank you Tom. Thank you Carol.
Wonderful episode of Q! Thank you so so much for featuring Carol. She was our family's favourite. ❤️
God bless this wonderful lady with many more years of good health 😊
What a gift she has been. I'm just checking out PALM ROYALE, and it immediately reminds me of the silly over the top satire that Burnett did in the FRESNO miniseries parody of shows like DALLAS. I don't think FRESNO gets the respect it deserves.
No, Carol. You, paved the way for these women. You, made their success, possible. I've been a fan of yours my entire life but I think you, need to learn how to take a compliment. That, is how you can respect your fans.🤗
The building where she grew up is still there!! I think there are Carol Burnett tours on UA-cam
Remember when she spoofed Gone with the Wind and she was Scarlet O’Hara? Cracks me up every time. 😂😂😂
No, I don’t remember this.
Wearing the living room curtains as her dress!😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Since childhood she's given me so many laughs even when times got tough she always put a smile on my face and I love her for that
If you love Carol Burnett, check out Justin Root's 7 part series on her life. Excellently done and worth your time.
SENDING LOVE TO THIS AMAZING WOMAN!!!!
I love, you Carol💕😊
Carol definitely had an Angel by her side ❤✝️🙂
I really enjoyed this conversation. Thank you.
She’s so sweet ❤ love love her
Carol is an icon I’ve enjoyed watching my whole life. But I have to add that I adore. He’s the best interviewer I’ve ever watched. He is so friendly to whoever he interviews and you can truly see that it’s the same to whoever he’s talking to. They always seem to look excited for whatever question comes next. Unlike some interviewers who can’t keep their interest and you can see their impatience with the questioner. Carol really seemed to enjoy talking to Tom
Tom Power is the best. An amazing Canadian. So proud!!!!!
The set here, wardrobe, and talk is all pure Carol. Very nice - many thanks. #TomPower #CarolBurnett
Greetings from Florida 🐬 We Luv ❤ Everything ✨ Carol ❤ Thank You 🙏 for Sharing this Gem 💎 of an interview 👌
I LOVE HER....Legend
Wonderful interview!!! Thank you!♥
She is so fabulous, such a legend. The interviewer is just awful but it's so great to hear her stories.
I just read her book "One More Time". I recommend it.
Living Legend
Such a nice part of growing up in the 60's & 70's Also Tom Power is a brilliant interviewer
I've heard the story of the businessman making the loan for her to New York. As I recall it, in earlier versions it was for Carol and Don Saroyan (college sweetheart and first husband) to go together to New York.
one of a kind
Wonder-full ❤
Thank you ❗
Carol was born to be a star.
No such thing as accident mistake or coincidence for ALL IS SYNCHRONOUS
Love the interviewer.
Awesome Tom .....a wonderful Canadian that makes me so proud!
so amazing!
what a wonder
We absolutely love you Carol...❤
The reason people helped Carol? Sheer personality and, most of all, TALENT.
