Vicki is still just one of the coolest class acts EVER!
It is so nice to see America's favorite mama . Vicki Lawrence Schultz is a America 's favorite actress, comedian, singer game show host, talk show host, producer wife and mom.She is a beautiful lady.
It's so refreshing to see a person of her fame and stature be just a regular person. Simple values, zero conceit, being the first to thank others for elevating her. Thanks, Vicki. Long may you wave.
Actress, comedian, singer, game show host, talk show host, Vicki Lawrence is absolutely positively talented and beautiful! I love her so much! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Such a humble, yet very successful woman.
One of the BEST!!! Great interview, will watch again. So interesting!
Thank you Vicki Lawrence for such great memories.
Vicki is nice and always interesting to listen too.
So insightful, the best interview of Vicki I have seen. Ernie is excellent, as always.
They WERE ALL so versatile and talented, in their own way.
I absolutely loved Carol Burnett's talent!😅
A beautiful woman. If you can do a character so well that people can't realize that is just an extension of the person that is pure talent.
What a terrific interview! Insightful, witty, love ernie and vicki! One of the best!
I still can't get over that she played MaMa when she was so young. So many other great characters too. She is so talented!
I love the Carol Burnett Show, Mama's Family, and the actors/actresses that were on there. Very talented. This interviewer Ernie Manouse was awesome, and pretty cute as well.
underated Great Lady .....lov her
Excellent interviewer.
It doesn't matter who he is interviewing...He is the best.
Thanks, Mom!
Great interview
These interviews are so good... and only 12K views ?
That's just wrong !
Ernie Manouse is a rare interviewer of celebs who doesn't come across as intelligent, informed and friendly and not embarassingly gushy or obnoxious. Good guy. Also cute, which certainly doesn't hurt!
Yes, and he lets people actually talk! Unlike a lot of other celebrity interviewers
What the hell kind of hairstyle is Ernie donning? Looks like some kind of 70s/80s do-up...even in 2011 it was, to say the least, far out of date.
🤔 I guess to each it's own..
I thought Vicki did an excellent job doing "Vicki!"
Great interview!
I don’t know why, but I enjoy listening to Vicki Lawrence speak. She doesn’t come across as a person who BSes.
Touching John Wayne. I, a young second lieutenant was coming out of the Tan Son Nhut officers Club in the bright sun. Looking into the sun, I bumped into a large man and stumbled onto the ground. The man, John Wayne says “ Are you OK Lieutenant?”
The sun is very talented Vicki Lawrence. I thought she was great as a talk show host as well!
Love momas family
So many cool things about this interview. And Mama's Family is one of my least favourite shows, ever. I've always loved Vicki, though. Really love her "surfing" reference, the fact that she only watches old movies and educational programming, and just her down to earth personality. Wish they would have talked about $25,000 Pyramid and Dick Clark. That's my favourite game show and the tension between the two of them was so hilarious. I'd like to know what she really thought of that experience.
yep, her on Pyramid was a riot
I want to see MOma on Broadway@@@@@@
I loved her delightfully cantankerous and impossible Mama on Carol's variety show in the 1970's, and I enjoyed "Mama's Family" in the 1980's ... even though the character changed demeanor drastically when they brought in Bubba and Iola (essentially, Thelma Harper went from a sour, short tempered biddy-- who was hilarious-- to a fairly perky character who loved to dance and sing and act goofy). Vicki has said that during the production of the sitcom, Harvey Korman convinced her to change Mama's personality because he believed a grouch would not be a likeable main character (!!!).
This is for the last person who said she was mean, she is the nicest person you will ever meet, how do you know your"friend" was telling the truth. GET A LIFE
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
She’s so confident
They had good writers.
Ernie is very cute 😍
I LOVE Vicki but her hair sticking up is driving me crazy LOL :)
She is such a cool lady. You should catch the video of her and Reba singing together. They sang The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia. She still has her voice.
The interviewer is cute in a geeky way, great eyes.
Ernie 😍🤩😍😀😍🤩
But I wanted to hear from Vicki about working with Dionne Warwick on The Psychic Friends Network! Hah!
I listened twice, but maybe I heard wrong; did she say (in regard to her talk show), "...sing with Bing Crosby..."? Her shows was in the 1990's, and he was long gone by then. Maybe she was mixed up (who isn't at times) and she was thinking back to THE CAROL BURNETT SHOW? Or maybe I just didn't hear correctly.
I was about to say the same thing.....get that poor gal a hairbrush!! ;)
She's a great comedian, I love her! Mama's Family is iconic and one of my faves of the 80s! I don't she can hardly sing though; I've never liked "The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia". but to each their own. :)
Ernie or Josh?
Manouse or Earnest?
oh my god. I didn't know that Carol Burnett was a criminal. Carol accosted Harvey Korman in the parking lot to try to get him on her show ! Carol apparently, man-handled that poor man and she probably flinged him into several cars until he was bloodied and dizzy. All that just to get him on her show. Well, that's what I get out of Vicki's description of how Carol wooed him onto her show. Now that this has come to light during this interview, I see Burnett doing hard time in the slammer !!
That's a lot of words to say "I don't know what 'accost' means". In less time it took to write that bizarre comment you could have looked it up and learned that VL in fact used the word correctly. Straight from the dictionary -
accost
ə-kôst′, ə-kŏst′
transitive verb
1) To approach and speak to, especially aggressively or insistently, as with a demand or request.
2 To approach or stop and speak to someone in a threatening way.
Vicki needs to puff up her hair like she did on her talk show, it looks awful flat.
She's more talented than Carol Burnett in many ways. Sorry .
