I have always loved Carol. She is super talented and a genuinely humble human being. Carol set a standard for kindness and professionalism on her TV show. She was kind, down-to-earth, and willing to share the spotlight with other performers. She was never a DIVA. She was never a selfish egocentric monster. She was never jealous of other performers. She was a performer who loved performing. Carol also helped and mentored young actors, actresses, and performers whenever she could. People have always loved her because she was so funny and also genuine. She was not a phony. She was a nice person and that always came through.
Any chance you'd consider editing your comment into "IS" instead of "was"...? ☺️ She was, IS, and will always be, fabulous. She's 88 and thankfully she's still with us. Such a treasure.
God, I love that woman. She is so down to Earth and has no time for bullsh**. It's so sad that Carrie lost her battle with cancer, after getting clean and wanting to start a new life.
I saw an interview with Carol talking about her daughter after she died. Even though she smiled and laughed I could see the sadness in her eyes. It was heartbreaking.
@@milfordcivic6755 When people think of Carol Burnett, they think of Carol Burnett the comedienne, not Carol Burnett, the singer. But she is a much better singer than most people think she is.
I think I recalled that she always poked fun at herself in that she can't sing and was really addement on some talk show. She said she has no control but if she had vocal lessons to learn how to then she could be a much better singer. But she never took any lessons for the fear it could let her fans down if she changed anything about her. The thing with Carol is she's the most giving of herself to her fans. Also, one of a handful of funny ladies that has always made this guy laugh. The others are/were Lucy Ball, Joan Rivers, and Phyllis Diller.
@@walterkoziol3822 She might have been self-deprecating about her singing for the sake of modesty but everything you just said about her singing is not true. She really is an excellent singer. She has great control, great intonation, great range, and what I especially love is the pathos and feel she puts into every note.
@Executive Decision Your comment makes no sense. Have you ever been addicted to cigs? It is a very difficult habit to break. Has no bearing on the sadness of the situation. Are you an adult child of an alcoholic? Because your intolerance for addiction is sad in itself. Addiction doesn't make someone a bad person. And doesn't mean they deserve to die because they were too "weak" to kick their habit. Ooof.
Executive Decision It’s true that her smoking was a damaging habit but even with that, cancer didn’t give her a chance. My childhood neighbor has smoked all of her life, she’s now almost 80 and no lung problems at all. And like her I know many other people that are chain smokers and are still living old age. I believe cancer is mostly a bad gene in people than a result of a habit. Carrie was only 38. Too young to die of lung cancer.
People love making fun of being in your 30s as old until you die and you realize you barely lived life 😔😞 RIP Carrie. I wonder how she got lung cancer?
She had brain cancer. I'm stunned noone here is mentioning that. I didn't know that smoking would cause that and to do it age 38. She was on drugs in her teen and twenties and got clean with help from her Mom. It wasn't easy. They wrote a successful play together not long before she died. Her death really hit Carol hard. So there was a strong bond between the both of them.
One of the greats. Many 'stars' of today would only subject themselves to questions from an audience after vetting them first. She's old school - do your apprenticeship, work your butt off and be totally professional
That is, without question, the best comedy bit ever! It also took a lot of imagination to have it so perfect. She said that no one in the cast, except Harvey, knew what was going to happen. They said they knew the cast would break up in laughter. They were correct - in one interview, they said the audience laughed for nearly half a hour which they had to cut out for broadcasting. "Went With the Wind" is absolutely the best!
I cannot remember if it was Carol Burnett talking about the death of Carrie, or Mary Tyler Moore talking about the death of her son Richie, who said " It was years before I was able to smile again. Even then, when I smiled, I didn't really mean it." Losing a child has to be a tough thing. As an aside, I agree with Carol in that any relationship that lasted 20 years is not a failure.
*phew.....* for some reason it really hit me just now when I read you say any relationship lasting 20 years is not a failure. My marriage ended after 22 years, and the fact that your comment made me tear up with gratitude to your for saying that tells me that I *have* considered it a failure. I kind of didn't realize how much until now. I appreciate your comment. Most of all I was sad we let our kids down. I was so determined not to do that. Anyway... 😌 For what it's worth, thank you.
And... the thought of either one of those wonderful ladies losing kids/being sad is a horrible thought. And (😂)... it annoyed me how Dick acted like her divorce was the end of the world or something. Carol seemed a bit annoyed, too. THAT is why some of us feel like failures when our marriages end... because society in general insinuates it's a failure and even shameful. Same thing with mental illnesses, etc. It's better now, to some degree. But so many things have been "shameful" for so long, it's not easy for people admit to them. It creates isolation, and if anything even worse mental health etc. Okay. I'll shush now. ☺️
Divorce after that many years is not a failure. It is more a sign that two people grew apart, something for which there are many reasons. None of us is the same person even ten years after a certain point in time.
Cavett had such a gravelly voice, in the bottom of the register. In one of his bio books he said that even as a child his voice was unnaturally low... so much so that people would do a double take when he spoke.
Adore her. She is so honest and sincere. Professional and respectful of others. A remarkable woman. Most of us older fans and I was a child when she was on the Gary Moore Show, she told how she got her start. Does anyone know? I do
Are you talking about the cash gift given to her and one other person - a gift whose giver they were to never disclose but to help another in the future?
@@patriciamartinez5836 I did not. What I know is that his kindness and generosity helped the two of them and she has totally respected his wish to keep his (or her) name confidential.
@@GlennaVan yes I am glad she kept his wish. She did give one of his initials but we all know that is really no help to his real identity. I for one am happy he gave her that.
I mean, substance abuse is and can be majorly troubling for so many but Cannabis has always been demonized .. not that folks don't overdo it.. but I just wish they would legalize it and get it off the books... and lets move on
I do have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rare much like all the other Dick Cavett interviews
"Ms [prnonunced Miz] as they say''... That is so time capsule poignant, as 1986 would still have been a time, when many people, still said Miss or Mrs, which, gives away a woman's marital status, and, is none of our biz.
Not really. I remember old shows from the early 70s where female characters insisted on being referred to as mizz. By `86 that would have been pretty well established and common. Actually these days there seems to be a bit of a move back to using miss or mrs with some people.
Well speak for Germany then (although I doubt it). Because in North America it really just depends on how conservative or liberal the woman is, even many liberal women when they get married still take the address "Mrs".
1980's: Carol Burnett's daughter (RIP Carrie ✝) talks to 5th Graders about not smoking weed. 2020: Democratic potential nominee Bernie Sanders says he'll give Business Loans to Black and Brown people to own *Marijuana* businesses. Wow. So much for progress...

It happens.
@@mcharrison23 Thank you captain compassionate.
Old Dick Cavett footage is fascinating. I could watch these interviews all day. He had the best guests from so many earlier generations.
His show was a class act all the way.
He sure did! I watch his shows often.
I LOVED his show and I had such a crush on Dick Cavett!
Such a beautiful woman, inside and out.
I saw an interview with Carol talking about her daughter after she died. Even though she smiled and laughed I could see the sadness in her eyes. It was heartbreaking.
The pain never goes away. We learn to live around it and build a new normal.
Loved this Woman. She , made millions laugh . Talent Supreme!!
Loved?? She isn't dead.
@Limeyboy73 I love her 3!
I meet Carrie years ago around '89. She was so sweet to this naive kid of 19. I'll always treasure that moment.
Dick and Carol were two class acts
This is like a time machine more than any other old footage.
She has a lovely voice! A class act in every way!
She's lovely.
Carol Burnett has it together. ❤
Already had a tremendous amount of respect for her. This interview just raised the ante.
Intelligent, generous and kind.
Dick Clark had a great talk show. Carol is and always will be a National Treasure! ❤️♥️❤️
*Cavett
We were so lucky to have her in our lives. What a gift!
As great and funny as she is, I always thought she never got the credit she deserved as a singer. I love hearing her sing.
She had her own TV show for 11 years and sang whatever she wanted. Can't get much more credit than that!

Well worth tracking down "Putting It Together" if you haven't seen and heard it.
It would’ve been HILARIOUS to see Carol Burnett as Imelda Marcos and Krystle Carrington. With Vicki Lawrence as Alexis tormenting her! 😂
I would die!!
Imelda Marcos jokes? Yup, that's 1986 alright!
This woman, is one of my mentors. I've always looked up to her. 💖😍
Carrie passed away at in 2002 at the age of 38. Very sad.

Such an inspiration to listen to. So wise.
Such a great interview
I love Carol.
Carol Burnett is my favorite female comedian. I grew up on her shows!....
She is proof that you don’t need to be a filth mouth to be funny. She is still awesome.
@@barbaracharette3459 No filth and not degrading others.
She is so talented her gone with the wind spoof is so funny I can hardly breathe
😂 Carol's curtain rod dress from that spoof is in the Smithsonian! Rightfully so. Sooo funny.
