In honor of Carol Burnett’s 92nd 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. One Saturday night, my sister and me were laughing so loud at one of the Family sketches (I think it was when they played Sorry!) that we woke up our exhausted dad who made us turn off the television and go to bad.

But that’s about the only time Carol Burnett was responsible for my being sad!

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 92nd birthday which is today.

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.

Her longevity and lasting star power was once again on display last year in the first season of Apple TV’s Palm Royale.

But, of course, it is her delicious variety series that we most cherish!
