In honor of Carol Burnett’s 89th birthday, some of her memorable variety show comedy sketches
Some of my favorite childhood memories were the times I managed to stay up late enough on a Saturday night to watch The Carol Burnett Show.
Loved the Family sketches with Eunice and Mama and the all the great movie parodies
I’ve posted a handful here in honor of comedy legend Carol Burnett’s 89th birthday which is today.
Had not seen The Butler and the Maid before and think it’s a hoot – especially when Harvey Korman’s butler (Tim Conway) burps him. Enjoy!
Miss Burnett has accomplished so much in her career including triumphs on Broadway (Once Upon a Mattress, Moon Over Buffalo, Putting It Together) in feature films (Annie, The Front Page, Pete & Tillie)), TV movies (Friendly Fire, The Tenth Month, Between Friends) and became a star on The Garry Moore Show.
But it is her delicious variety series that we most cherish.

I saw the first clip where they’re playing Sorry on YT last year and have watched it numerous times. One of my all time favorites of the Mama shits. Carol is indeed an all around entertainer, she can do it all.

Mama skits, not shits. LOL This PC keeps changing letters for some reason.

Ms. Barnett was also on The Twilight Zone back in the day. Beautiful woman, love her.
