Brown Derby from The Carol Burnett Show

“Rita Hayworth in the flesh!” Obnoxious tourists Carol and Vicki run into Rita at the famous Brown Derby restaurant in Hollywood and things get a little tense…
About The Carol Burnett Show
While there’s no truth to the rumor that “CBS” ever stood for The Carol Burnett Show, for eleven seasons and 278 episodes, this star-studded extravaganza of sketch comedy, song and dance became entertainment central for the network and TV viewers. Burnett operated in a relaxed theater setting that allowed her to take questions, cut loose with her famous Tarzan yell and join fellow performers Harvey Korman, Tim Conway, Vicki Lawrence and Lyle Waggoner to have a laugh or sing a song. The show received 25 Emmy Awards and eight Golden Globes, making it one of the most honored shows in television history.

Nothing like a Carol Burnett skit to brighten my day, this one reminds me of I Love Lucy when they have lunch at the Brown Derby & see William Holden!! 😂

Yes, that was the real Rita Hayworth! She was born in 1918 and still looked great at age 53 in this episode from 1971.

[@noehctuccmliw]

Hey, I'm 54 and look absolutely stunning! SO why wouldn't Rita?? 😂

[@mls_words_of_wisdom]

Wow! I didn’t know that was Rita Hayworth! I remember her glamour from her classic movies. I love how the audience claps when she walks in!

[@jefferypardue7509]

Most TV shows that are comedies or similar likes variety shows usually has either an live audience or a computer mechanical clapping track that's usually indicates a famous person. Some shows like Hot in Cleveland had famous actors and actresses come on.
