Carol Burnett was proof for me growing up that women can be anything. I love her madly, and her show was the greatest thing on TV. Her autobiography One More Time will make you laugh and cry. Massive respect.
I had to sneak out of my room and put her show in when I supposed to be going to bed on a school night. I was in heaven watching in the dark in a small room by the attic in my house.
@@susanwenner8738 The amazing thing about her show, and it was a variety show, is that, during a period in which variety shows were dying, hers thrived for 11 seasons. When a huge audience tunes in faithfully, you're going to buy ads there, and the studio suits will love that. It's what quality entertainment is all about.
I once wrote a letter to Carol Burnett. I just sent it off to her book publisher, hoping it would reach her. I felt the urge to tell her how much her humour meant to my mother and to me; as I nursed Mom through terminal cancer, we used The Carol Burnett Show reruns for daily laugh therapy - what wonderful afternoons together. My intent was just to thank Ms. Burnett, but imagine my surprise to receive a handwritten thank-you note from her. What a class act - on top of all of that talent.
Carol Burnett was a true team comedian by that I mean she never had to steal the show. She let the other actors and actresses shine as brightly as they could along with her. Comedy was a team sport with Carol. She clearly loved the interplay between herself and the other comics on the show. And you could see her affection for those comics come through each time. A talented and very generous spirited person. My love of my life. Certainly from TV at least.
It seems to me that grammar isnt taught in schools anymore, so it's a pleasure to listen to such articulate people. No one used the word "like" inappropriately either, as in, "Do you like use your hands?" or, "Are you like in the theater.?" Such a treat! Thank you for the upload!
As I watch these old shows I realize we are looking at a whole generation who is now either dead or very very elderly. To see them all young n in their prime is wonderful & reminds me that my generation, is not far behind.
@@Potaville You get HER to contact me and let HER tell me otherwise, because every footage I've seen HER on, SHE refers to HERself as that identity. One thing I'm certain of, YOU aren't the one to make that determination. THE END

@Brains00007 1890-1965 in the US saw the most Americans killed in foreign wars than any other period in our history. Perhaps, that is what this org wants to return to. I kid. Oh, sure those years were the golden age of Jim Crow in America, too.
Carol Burnett is one of my all time favorites, when she first wanted to do a comedy/variety show she was told it was a mans game and she couldnt make it -- we all know the rest of that story. I fondly recall many hilarious hours watching Carols show with my mother when I was young - God bless you Carol and thanks deeply for all the laughs & memories.
It's difficult to pick a favourite Carol Burnett show, but her parody of "Gone With The Wind" is right up there. When Harvey struts in, raising an eyebrow so perfectly Rhett Butler-esque, and she, as Scarlett, appears wearing the curtains (but with the curtain rod still in them, sticking out both sides of her shoulders), well, I must have seen that dozens of times and never tire of it or cracking up over it.
I was thinking the exact same things when I saw your comment! She's my all time favorite too and can't understand how Rolling Stone left her show completely OUT of the 50 best shows on TV
John Daley was a CBS news reporter. If you ever hear the radio announcement when President Roosevelt died, in documentaries and such, they almost always play his announcement. On this show, he lends such an air of politeness and gentility.
Catch her on the George Gobel Show..incredible...there`s something about Carol Burnett..something very c1950 New York Jewish. Don`t know if she`s from New York and/or if she`s a Jew but the women I grew up with (and those I admired like Betty Comden whom I met at a Gallery of Modern Art tribute) were ALL so `on top of it`. This is the only way to describe it.
Carol still is beautiful. She is a amazing woman. She's a marvelous comedian. She is a absolutely splendid actress. She is lastly a very lovely lady with a wonderful down to earth personality. She is my my hero!
January 7, 2019. About 2 o clock in the morning. Hours ago, Carol Burnett received the inaugural Carol Burnett Lifetime Achievement Award at the Golden Globes. Now I sit here getting my nightly WML fix (I’m only 24! 😂) and I watch the lovely Ms. Burnett as she appeared 55 years ago, looking every bit as radiant as she did earlier tonight. 👏🏻 👏🏻
The great thing about Carol Burnett here, or on I've Got a Secret, or Password, panelist or player or guest, is that she _always_ appeared to be having so much fun with whatever she was doing.
@@craigpennington1251 : I haven’t ever heard anything except good things about her. The one time a tabloid magazine slandered her, she sued and WON‼️👍👍👏👏
Don't forget the show that made her famous, The Garry Moore Show, a variety show with skits. Sound familiar? She based her own show on this one, and Garry Moore was very generous in helping launch her.
That's what made TV so boring back then. People would think, "I need to behave more like the people on TV." Now a days you look at the scumbags on TV and think, "I'm certainly not going to behave like them, even though they are entertaining in some ways."
And New York abstains ... courteously. (Like Buddy Hackett and the delegate from New York to the Continental Congress, I am a native New Yorker.) ua-cam.com/video/YMj_Q1_N1nk/v-deo.html
Same. I'd hear of it whenever TV specials were on about the olden days and all that or even when they'd list the best game shows of all time and I'd be mad because I had no idea why they thought it was great. Now I know.
@@spleengrrrl Yep, and the world sure has changed since the old days shown in this video, and our kids won't understand our generation either probably. So it goes, lol!
After watching numerous old What's My Line clips , I have to say that Carol and Debbie Reynolds came off as the most charming , funniest celebrity participants
Carol Burnett is still very awesome. I would have loved to have been on her show with Harvey, Vikki, and Tim. Loved their skits, when comedy was real. God bless them all.
steve philmore her talent superseded her “cuteness”...which is the correct way to view a woman. As Bruce Hornsby said about his modestly dressed backup singers, “they don’t have to [dress scantily] because they have talent”.
Robert Gardea there is a difference between cute & pretty but talent/skills are what they and all women should be recognized for, not for their looks. Shirley Temple was also very talented, in the arts as a young child and as an adult.
What a terrific talent Carol Burnett has given to the world. Her Shsssstick will go on forever. Thank you God for sharing Carol Burnett with us. A humble Master and Professional Gardener Bernie De Lonay.
Might I add, and they had *stature!* A Man didn't have to, nor feel compelled to, for the most part, to show off, they knew their place, respected it, and carried themselves as such, no advertising needed! ;)

Carol Burnett was in 'The Twilight Zone' episode 'Cavender is Coming' from 1962, written by Rod Serling, when she was 29; Serling noticed and highlighted her ability to portray awkward characters, and it's a fun episode from an oft-serious series.
A show with well spoken, well mannered, participants and guests with lighthearted humor. How bizarre! You would be hard pressed to find four similar qualified panelists in all of Hollywood these days.
In those days, they didn't choose panelists on the basis of which agent could get some rising talent on a show. Notice, two of the panelists, Dorothy Kilgallen and Bennet Cerf are not even entertainers. One was a reporter and the other the head of Random House, the book publisher! And Arlene Francis was in show business, but really was a kind of a professional panelist on games shows. These three were chosen for their wit, charm and smarts.
Carol Burnett was so genuine. I miss watching the live shows. I miss when the celebs didn't think they were such hot stuff and everyone should think what they think.
Buddy hackett and Carol Burnet. Two of the greatest comedians ever. I grew up watching them and had a crush on Carol for years. Thanks for posting this.
I interviewed Buddy Hackatt at his mansion Beverly Hills. He had a kitchen the size of a ball park and frigs the size of cold storage Since few stars ever fed me I remember well that he served bagels and smoked salmon. I also recall of all the comedians I have interviewed he alone had the power to hypnotize. Combined with his ability to make me howl this was a formidable combination.
Sandra Shevey - hi Sandra! You sound like an interesting person and I bet you have tons of stories and insights on these legendary artists! You should write a book!
@@Bacnow I should. And self-publish. Have a look at www.thealfredhitchcocksignature.wordpress.com This one is up there and obtainable at sandra_shevey@yahoo.com Have a look at sandrasheveyinterviews UA-cam.
@@unowen-nh9ov All i saw was her accomplishments. I didn't find anything bad about her to suggest she should be in a ward of any kind. She has written films she has wrote autobiography on Marilyn Monroe and a few others and is known as a megastar interviewer. Said she has interviewed some 500 celebrities. Unless you are saying because she is a feminist and a revisionist she is crazy?
It's really amazing how brilliant all the regulars on this show were, especially so Bennett Cerf and John Daly. They were so very highly educated to begin with but then also kept up with current affairs around the world.
It's amazing also how accomplished the panel was in their own right - John Charles Daly was the lead anchor and vice president of ABC News (even though this was on CBS), Bennett Cerf was the founder and publisher of Random House Publishing, Dorothy Kilgallen was a well-known national columnist and reporter, and Arlene Francis - well, she was charming.
They also kept up with what celebrities were in town for musicals or other appearances. The stars would be on this show to plug their project. That's why Carol mentioned she had nothing to plug, which was unusual.
So nice to see women remaining seated and men standing to shake hands and the general civilised and courteous interactions . How I miss such respectful niceties.
Ironically, this very generation depicted here is largely responsible for the havoc we see today. After enduring the stress of the Great Depression and the War, they compensated for their difficult upbringings by lavishing their children with whatever they wanted. These children grew up spoiled, entitled, and convinced that they were the center of the universe. The hedonism, gluttony, selfishness, and greed that came to define the following decades were direct results of poor parenting.
By the way, keep in mind you're only looking at one slice of America here. This is the New York elite. If you went To an expensive Manhattan cocktail party today, people would still act like this. Even back then all you had to do was take a walk to a working-class neighborhood and you'd hear a lot of vulgar language.
WOW!!! Carol Burnett is drop dead gorgeous. Remember watching these shows and you learned quite a lot about things. It sure was a different world back then and I miss a lot of it and some parts NO. Thanks for the memories.
This episode is of my favorite of the whole series. In all this time I've looked up the TV show Carol and Buddy was on "Stanley", but I never looked up the musical she was going to be in at the time. It was finally called "Fade Out-Fade In". Believe it or not it was up against "Funny Girl" and "Hello Dolly", but Carol got into an accident in June. Tina Louise contract got bought out by CBS so she could do "Gilligan's Island". After Carol came back to the show, she still had health problems, so she finally had to leave, and the musical never recovered after that.
YES to both! People are used to her in costumes and being ordinary, but she's a striking lady as shown here. I like her better than Lucille Ball. Recall seeing her on Gary Moore when I was a child. Seems like a really nice person.
Friend caught her act in Dallas when she hit with “I fell in lover with John Foster Dulles,” in company of a date. He was surpised how pretty she was, Great smile.
It's a blessing to see how a true journalist worked. Dorothy was a treasure. It is truly a tragedy that journalism in the USA is all but dead. Now oligarchs run the narrative and free speech no longer exists.
Hard to believe it now from their news programing, but at the time many people thought that CBS stood for Carol Burnett Show. She had something all ages could enjoy. No controversy or politics. Just great entertainment that always stood on it's own.
12:40 I love the way John articulated the "NO", and the subsequent laughter from Arlene and Bennett was so contagious - you hear Dorothy giggling offscreen too! I simply adore how everyone seems to be genuinely having a blast on this show.
Carol Burnett in 1964 is absolutely adorable with her little short haircut. Most men prefer long hair on a woman but Carol Burnett definitely pulls off the cute short hair look. We all love her.
@@raymondhopwood9393 Lucille Ball never made me laugh, though. Mary and Carol did - and Phyllis Diller was funny, I thought. More recently, Kristin Wiig is good ("Bridesmaids" and as the Target lady on SNL).

True gifted talent with an amazing ability to make her co-workers and the audience laugh uncontrollably.
Buddy hackett and Carol Burnet. Two of the greatest comedians ever. I grew up watching them and had a crush on Carol for years. Thanks for posting this.
It doesn't matter in which side of laughter she is, either provoking them or having fun as she is doing here, Carol Burnett is marvelous !!!
Fascinating....seems that the shows throughout the years reflect its society. So whether is good or not is really subjective.
The days when it was popular to be witty and sophisticated rather than crude and moronic.
Yep, miss those days and these folks, and no one ever had to bombard you with expletives just to get your attention. Their talent was good enough.
@nathan110063 that was a stretch, itch.
And dress well sans tattoos everwhere
nathan110063 tell em!
Dan Fleming not by a long shot
I interviewed Buddy Hackatt at his mansion Beverly Hills. He had a kitchen the size of a ball park and frigs the size of cold storage Since few stars ever fed me I remember well that he served bagels and smoked salmon. I also recall of all the comedians I have interviewed he alone had the power to hypnotize. Combined with his ability to make me howl this was a formidable combination.
Sandra Shevey - hi Sandra! You sound like an interesting person and I bet you have tons of stories and insights on these legendary artists! You should write a book!
@@Bacnow I should. And self-publish. Have a look at www.thealfredhitchcocksignature.wordpress.com This one is up there and obtainable at sandra_shevey@yahoo.com Have a look at sandrasheveyinterviews UA-cam.
@@Bacnow Google her, she is well known & not for the reasons she claims. Read her writing, rather than on a keyboard she should be in a ward.
@@unowen-nh9ov All i saw was her accomplishments. I didn't find anything bad about her to suggest she should be in a ward of any kind. She has written films she has wrote autobiography on Marilyn Monroe and a few others and is known as a megastar interviewer. Said she has interviewed some 500 celebrities. Unless you are saying because she is a feminist and a revisionist she is crazy?
Thank you for sharing!
It's really amazing how brilliant all the regulars on this show were, especially so Bennett Cerf and John Daly. They were so very highly educated to begin with but then also kept up with current affairs around the world.
Intelligent people were the requirement for real-time shows back then. So different from today.
It's amazing also how accomplished the panel was in their own right - John Charles Daly was the lead anchor and vice president of ABC News (even though this was on CBS), Bennett Cerf was the founder and publisher of Random House Publishing, Dorothy Kilgallen was a well-known national columnist and reporter, and Arlene Francis - well, she was charming.
They also kept up with what celebrities were in town for musicals or other appearances. The stars would be on this show to plug their project. That's why Carol mentioned she had nothing to plug, which was unusual.
I’m so glad to have discovered these episodes. Talk about time travel!
wow, my mom was a child when this aired and wouldnt even meet my dad for another 16 years, and Carol is still going strong today
Loved the comradery between Buddy and Carol. They were like magic!
Hackett was brilliant and Hilarious! Carol Burnett is a TREASURE.. There is virtually NO compliment that this lovely woman has not earned.
So nice to see women remaining seated and men standing to shake hands and the general civilised and courteous interactions . How I miss such respectful niceties.
She has never changed, always so fun and loving.
She changed.
With all this talk about Carol Burnett,I have only one thing to say to all of you: I'm so glad we had this time together!
I just love how polite everyone is in this show....what happened to our modern world ??
Ironically, this very generation depicted here is largely responsible for the havoc we see today. After enduring the stress of the Great Depression and the War, they compensated for their difficult upbringings by lavishing their children with whatever they wanted. These children grew up spoiled, entitled, and convinced that they were the center of the universe. The hedonism, gluttony, selfishness, and greed that came to define the following decades were direct results of poor parenting.
By the way, keep in mind you're only looking at one slice of America here. This is the New York elite. If you went To an expensive Manhattan cocktail party today, people would still act like this. Even back then all you had to do was take a walk to a working-class neighborhood and you'd hear a lot of vulgar language.
Carol was beautiful .... And still is
She will always be beautiful!
Attractive but Monroe was beautiful, Loren, etc
Very smart panelist... CB's a doll and such a good spirit!
In 64 I was a 7 and in love with the Beatles. This show I saw sometimes. A few years later I was in love with Carol Burnett and still a fan!
Carol Burnett = ICON & NATIONAL TREASURE. GOD BLESS YOU CAROL!
Buddy Hackett is such a comedic talent and carol burnett is a doll.
A truly great comedic talent, Ms. B was a very special multi versatile performer and a legend on tv for decades.
Carol was a peach here. Carol Burnett was and is an American treasure. She looked great here.
WOW!!! Carol Burnett is drop dead gorgeous. Remember watching these shows and you learned quite a lot about things. It sure was a different world back then and I miss a lot of it and some parts NO. Thanks for the memories.
Carol is so beautiful and frisky; love that woman!
I used to have a crush on her... And, that was in that was born in the 70's.
The women's outfits and all of their accents make me smile.
This episode is of my favorite of the whole series. In all this time I've looked up the TV show Carol and Buddy was on "Stanley", but I never looked up the musical she was going to be in at the time. It was finally called "Fade Out-Fade In". Believe it or not it was up against "Funny Girl" and "Hello Dolly", but Carol got into an accident in June. Tina Louise contract got bought out by CBS so she could do "Gilligan's Island". After Carol came back to the show, she still had health problems, so she finally had to leave, and the musical never recovered after that.
I think Carol Burnett looks great here. And there was obvious delight in reuniting with Buddy, her former co-star.

She also seemed very sweet , kind and bubbly here -- an all-around fun mystery guest spot.
maynardsmoreland carol looks pretty cute on this
YES to both! People are used to her in costumes and being ordinary, but she's a striking lady as shown here. I like her better than Lucille Ball. Recall seeing her on Gary Moore when I was a child. Seems like a really nice person.
It's the haircut she has in the this show. I'm not sure what the haircut is called but it makes you look cute.
Friend caught her act in Dallas when she hit with “I fell in lover with John Foster Dulles,” in company of a date. He was surpised how pretty she was, Great smile.
It's a blessing to see how a true journalist worked. Dorothy was a treasure. It is truly a tragedy that journalism in the USA is all but dead. Now oligarchs run the narrative and free speech no longer exists.
Buddy Hackett just had this look and sound about him that reminds me of a cartoon character or two from my youth..and that's no insult.
Carol Burnett seem so down to earth! Love Carol Burnett! And I have always liked Buddy Hackett.
I love Carol, isn't she adorable!
She is
Seriously cute.
You could clearly see Carol's wonderful spirit :)
Boy, Carol and Buddy really exploded...being superstars later on!
These are so wonderful, funny and warm. Carol Burnett was great.
Carol was only 30; still going strong at nearly 90.
Wow, that's great to hear.
She looks so healthy and vibrant.
Carol Burnett's was a good comedian. Her comedy made me laugh. She also would talk with the audience. She was very funny!
A truly excellent panel -- Thank you for sharing!
Buddy Hackett is hilarious. And the kiss Carol Burnett throws to him when he recognizes her is so lovable.
A compliment from Buddy Hackett is a rare and valuable thing
This made me smile and feel good.
Compare this to the remake. This one is nice, polite, and shows extremely deep thought and detailed with the Q & A.
Wow shes still here 2018 and everyone else on that clip is long long gone.
Hard to believe it now from their news programing, but at the time many people thought that CBS stood for Carol Burnett Show. She had something all ages could enjoy. No controversy or politics. Just great entertainment that always stood on it's own.
12:40 I love the way John articulated the "NO", and the subsequent laughter from Arlene and Bennett was so contagious - you hear Dorothy giggling offscreen too! I simply adore how everyone seems to be genuinely having a blast on this show.
I love watching these old shows😀
Brings back memories!
Carol Burnett in 1964 is absolutely adorable with her little short haircut. Most men prefer long hair on a woman but Carol Burnett definitely pulls off the cute short hair look. We all love her.
Happy 90th birthday, Carol Burnett! We ❤️ you!!!
Carol was my favorite female TV star of all time!!!!!! By far!!!
Stephen Doty I loved her and Lucille Ball. I am almost 63 years old and no one has surpassed them...❤️
The three leading ladies of TV comedy..... Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett, and Mary Tyler Moore.
@@raymondhopwood9393 Lucille Ball never made me laugh, though. Mary and Carol did - and Phyllis Diller was funny, I thought. More recently, Kristin Wiig is good ("Bridesmaids" and as the Target lady on SNL).
John getting screamed at like Elvis, Buddy Hackett was cracking up and Carol Burnett!! I’m blessed to have the same middle name as John.
