Carol Burnett is a comic genius
Amen! I've loved laughing at her my whole life!
Yep, I'd a cracked years ago, if it weren't for her sense of humor.
Completely Agreed!
...and so much more.
Two television ICONS. One is ready with a quick laugh, then lays down the cold hard facts about Hollywood...the other is actually interested in the person he interviews...and his humor is so dry, it's almost sarcasm...!
I used to have that same dress Carol is wearing! I loved it, it was from a shop that sold clothing and jewelry from India, and always smelled like patchouli. It's where all the hippy chicks shopped!
I remember watching the movie they mentioned, "Friendly Fire", and that it was good but disturbing and no one in my family liked seeing Carol in a sad role. We never missed her show, always watched it together and laughed. When they did the "Gone With the Wind" skit, I'd never heard my parents laugh so hard. I loved her mop bucket lady, those were sweet skits that always tugged at my heart.
I feel sorry for those who are unable to grok her comedic genius. She was a great Broadway star, too!
Carol Burnett is an American treasure.
Love Carol as a person. She was great in the movie "Pete n Tillie" and on the game show "Password".
Please consider uploading the rest of this episode. That's a side to Carol Burnett that's not often seen.
ICYMI, they've uploaded more clips from it since this one went up.
She is so adorable! Very pretty lady.
Yes we Stan carol 😁
Carol is great female comedian💖💕💕
There’s the pretentious myth that serious acting is superior to comedy, but being a comedian is far harder and needs more talent than acting. Comedians can always do serious acting, it’s easy. Also, the “serious” dramatic movies often look terrible 20 years later, but the comedies survive. Even silent comedies are funny, but the dramas usually don’t work.
Carol Trivia: Carol was close friends with opera singer Beverly Sills.
So?
And Julie Andrews
I'd like to have seen the serious run-through of that scene she described.
OMG Carol did a skit with Maggie Smith, and where Maggie's character looked down upon her?! I have-to find it!
Thank you to whomever(s) posting archival footage. The Pre-Code era is my favorite, and television interviews of the stars aren’t easy to track down. When I came upon bootleg copies of interviews with Bette Davis, Katharine Hepburn and Mae West many years ago, I found myself enjoying Mr.Cavett’s interview style as much as the stars themselves and wished to see more footage of the show.
This TH-cam channel fulfilled that wish and in so doing, introduced me to more of the greats. I appreciate the work of the individuals uploading segments with descriptive titles and the ownership entities that approved of the content being shared.
Also, a tip of the hat to Mr.Cavett for not falling out of his chair when Barbara (Seagull) Hershey brought out a child and then a breast.
sounded like Carol wasn't a fan of Dick Cavett one bit.
but I didn't know the man personally, and when these shows
aired I was just a little kid, so probably any snarkiness , or
misagyny on his part, most likely went over my head back then.
I think the movie that they were in together that they refer to at the beginning was 'A Wedding' (1978). Like many Robert Altman films, it had a large ensemble cast.
Is this channel ever going to show Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason and/or Art Carney? I don’t have the Decades channel at all.
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 rarities much like all the other Dick Cavett shows.
Loved her comedy but it was difficult to see her as a serious actress. My fault not hers.
Didn't they make a movie together?
Yeah a Robert Altman movie that they mentioned in the interview.
@@Billkwando I think it was 'A Wedding,' from 1978.
The sound makes this unwatchable by all but the most motivated. It's awful.
You guys are getting spoiled by listening podcasters with their fancy Shure SM7s. Just turn up your volume.
@@Billkwando : Nonsense. "Just turn up your volume." Duh. Then the next (properly sound-leveled) video blasts everyone out of the room. /rollseyes
@@WalterBurton Not if you have the presence of mind to turn it back down
@@Billkwando: /rollseyes

Volume is low
Then suddenly gets loud when the music comes on at the end. 🎺🎹🎶
Very bad sound
this was recorded like 45 years ago
@@pigeonboy7696 , wow. Prehistory.
@@pigeonboy7696 Even so, there are clips from his show on TH-cam that are even older where the sound is fine. Something went wrong with either the recording or the copying of the audio on this one.
They'd cancel him in a heartbeat for this line of questioning today.
why?
there isnt anything provocative about this....but maybe you mean something else
@@jadezee6316
It's much less a comment about anything Dick did wrong and more about the hyper-chronic ridiculousness of cancel culture itself. But I meant his subtle inferences about her "becoming" deeper (with a subtext of "you were more shallow prior"), and his reference to "a woman of a certain age". Nothing actually offensive or provocative, as you say; just comments that would have the wokie bullies after him in our mentally ill times. Have a nice day, Jade. Appreciate your comment and the opportunity to explain myself.
@@IanThaddiam , you're insightful, and exactly right. If you don't know about him, Gad Saad, here on TH-cam, is someone I think you'd like a lot.
@@bobtaylor170
Hi, Bob. I've seen the name but am not really familiar, so I'll take your recommendation and followup on that. Thanks for the direction. Have a great day.
Dick Cavett was worse the Letterman.
you’re kidding
Don’t be silly
lol..why do you assume we all think of letterman in the same way as you...i for one dont have a clue about what you think of letterman so i dont have a clue about what you mean....
Absurd.
You should hear what Cavett thinks of you.
Oh wait.
Not really an actress. She does broad sketch comedy. And not that well.
It was broad sketch comedy. And how can you not think she performed Mrs. Hhwiggins wonderfully? And a lot of other characters.
Oh really. 11 years her show was on and top rated most if not all the time. First woman to ever do that. It would seem you're in the minority with you're opinion, but that's okay. Difference in perception I guess.
That is a minority opinion...
i tried watching her show...but i couldn't get past the laughter usually led by harvey ....which was so juvenile and obviously planned.....but even beyond that carol burnet has never made me laugh.....she just isnt funny....
No one cares what you think.
