Happy Birthday, Carol. I sent you a birthday card many years ago when you were on the Garry Moore Show and you sent me a postcard that said: "Hi. You're WONDERFUL! Thank you. Carol." I still have it...somewhere. I'm now 74. Thank you for years of happiness.

[@jaygatz4335]

Carol had an uncompromising goodness and kindness about her. Yes, she had the talent and ambition to achieve what she did, but there was no collateral damage as she moved up the ladder of success. The stars who paid tribute to her on this show did not hold back in their love and appreciation for this rare gem who still shines at the beginning of her TENTH (!) decade. It's too bad variety shows aren't produced any more - the industry has changed so much. This tribute reminds us of what we once had . . . and what we have lost.

[@denisesudell2538]

No need to use the past tense. Carol is still working. She did a terrific job on the final season of Better Call Saul.

[@jenniferkelly1487]

I like your comment about no collateral damage!! I like how she kept her promise and assisted others.

[@hardlines4]

I am a 60 year old man and at the end when Carol sang her trademark song I had tears in my eyes… Happy Birthday Carol ❤️

[@RitaSora]

Me too! Same age same reaction!❤

[@fairleywijesinghe4024]

Me too same age same reaction however known and followed Carol since watching Annie. Happy Birthday Carol

[@Broughton1128]

*Carol Burnett is the undisputed Empress of Comedy.* 👑

[@sonjatait4089]

Carol was the most humble and best comedian éver!!! Love from South Africa. ❤❤❤

[@Broughton1128]

*What do you mean “was”? She is STILL among the living.*

[@nonid5627]

What an absolute joy this whole thing was. You don’t know how much I needed this tonight. Thank you for uploading it.

[@Justin.Ullmann]

You're welcome 😊

[@cherieagleson]

Thank you for sharing this amazing celebration 🎉 for Carol. Happy 90th birthday Carol... and many more!!!!

[@Justin.Ullmann]

You're welcome 😊

[@stephaniedescoteaux4759]

Happy Birthday Carol!! You are the GOAT.

[@nongthip]

One of the greatest memories of the Carol Burnett show were the "bloopers" where they would just break down laughing at their own lines either rehearsed or adlibbed. It was a refreshing beautiful display of honest spontaneity which invited the audience right in on the humor and the fun.

[@prernasaraf5898]

Steve and Carol share a special relationship, i love them.

[@kitschyoyo78]

Seeing Cher and Carol together really bring me back to my childhood. Love Vicki too - Mama's Family is one of my favorite sitcoms.

[@Wild1995]

Vicki Lawrence's career always fascinates me. Carol read her letter when Vicki was a teen and Carol went to see her in a play. At such a young age she was invited on one of the biggest shows on TV. She started playing Mama at age 24. Mama then because huge herself.

[@finddeniro]

The Greats..real greats.. Employee.. young Talent..

[@vacuzman]

I grew up watching Carol and her gang... They were all just Spectacular!! Happy 90th Birthday to our Beloved Carol!

[@BTURNER1961]

Its an astonishing career. I can't think of a more beloved, versatile, and gifted comedic actress. Absolutely nothing she could not do.

[@JodyGibson-bt5zz]

Why did they do Katy Perry singing the end of Life to Carol. "Time to say good bye". Tears. That was horrible. The rest of the show was outstanding.

[@frankodesandy4688]

Because Katy Perry is part of the NBC "cast". They exploited this tribute to feature NBC productions. A sad tactic. Yes, she was quite inappropriate.

[@nickbigd]

She was definitely the low point. Seemed so out of place.

[@nimflower]

This made me cry more than once, God bless her 🥺🤍

[@annescarano9828]

Those who love Carol Burnett feel as if she is family. We were on her side for each thing she went through be it a divorce, a law suit she brought to prove she was not a drunk (she won), her daughter's early passing and more. Thanking her seems so little for all the fun and joy she gave to us for so long. She looks great and says her health is good. I hope she is with us for many more years. God Bless You Carol on your 90th Birthday and always.

[@Cynthia-sm5uj]

Best entertainer of all time. Happy Birthday Carol

[@TheOceanMan-xc7qp]

Carol to me is the best female comedian of all time....the lady could do it all and her show made me laugh like no other

[@tanamonteiro6123]

I love Carol. I am a super fan. I met her once and she was so kind. A genuinely nice person.

[@kaymuldoon3575]

That’s so cool!

[@ricmac2067]

Thanks for posting this. When a youngster my family all looked forward to the Carol Burnett Show and we all talked about it for days later. What Carol had over everyone else was sincerity. It wore off onto her guest who let their hair down and were able to be themselves too. I still watch episodes if I am feeling a bit down. It never fails to pick me up.

[@dfwjac]

Yay, i finally get to see it! Thanks, Justin!

[@Justin.Ullmann]

You're so very welcome 😊

[@sandyschipper1400]

Happy Birthday Carol! You are my hero, I love you! When I met you, you were so gracious and I gave you a drawing of my silly clown cartoon inspired from the cartoon maid. I still think of you when I draw him.

[@billgreen1861]

Justin Ullmann, Thank you, thank you for uploading this homage to, Carol Burnett, I didn't even know it was aired. This came as a total surprise this morning. I would have kicked myself if I found out months later. 😊

[@Justin.Ullmann]

You're so very welcome 😊

[@jkirton1964]

THANK YOU, Justin!

[@Justin.Ullmann]

You're welcome 😊

[@kathyspanner3755]

I have a friendship like that it is nice to see there friendship has lasted a long time happy birthday Carol here's to many more

[@dellagrace2887]

My absolute HERO ❤️

[@franklinstephen3268]

Hello, good evening I hope all’s fine with you there?

[@XanBos]

Carol Burnett, the one and only. Let us keep her for as long as we still have a laugh in us.

[@prernasaraf5898]

0:25 started with a bang. And then Julie Andrews and Carol Burnett blowing kisses at Steve Carell ❤️❤️❤️

[@whaitwhatwhyamihere504]

I honestly am not familiar with Mrs. Carol and came her to watch this show after I saw a clip of Cher doing the tribute and OMG, this is a very lovely show. So much love and great great memories shared.

[@bennettavieira2908]

Happy Birthday Carol Burnett and many more 🎉😊🤣❤️

[@grantc61]

That was surprisingly good. Hollywood tributes are usually best avoided but there seemed to be genuine love in the room - and the performances were uniformly great.

[@gregweaver4341]

This was the best 90 minutes ever. So many good memories…❤

[@youngb7ki]

from Yemen ... happy birth day carol ..

[@ma.lisalorraineatotubo3268]

Happy bday Carol Burnett. God bless.

[@dianadobrez9930]

Love Carol, watched every Saturday night as a preteen ❤

[@minnae.1747]

Thank you, Justin Ullmann!

[@Justin.Ullmann]

YOU'RE WELCOME

[@japanjack62]

Carol Burnett is an ICON of Comedy. It is sad that very few people in show business today have talent, or what passes as talent these days, as indicated in this show It was all too PC. Carol deserved better.. Vicki Lawrence should of been the MC and where was Dick Van Dyke? Sad times..

[@suelynrogers]

Possibly ill health for Van Dyke. All others on the show have already died. And Vicki may have just wanted to enjoy the party after all these years, and to honor her as a guest spot. Also, my mom passed last year at 94. Most her siblings except for one are gone, her RV group are all gone. Funeral was a small family affair, and online video available across the country, so those unable to travel could watch including her last remaining brother. If we are fortunate to get past 90, we outlive a lot of folks. 🙏💗😊👍

[@RaymondHng]

Carol Burnett is the Executive Producer of this special, so she calls the shots. This special is exactly how she planned it.

[@kaymuldoon3575]

Dick Van Dyke is 97. Probably a bit challenging for him.

[@lesleyhawkes2983]

I was hoping someone would put this up,I’m in the uk and couldn’t see it,thank you for uploading this and giving fans outside of the USA a chance to see it

[@kathleen3699]

❤Carol Burnett better be a Welcomed Guest on Pete Davidson's Hosting of SNL on May 6.💖

[@ddduva4440]

Making people laugh is one of the greatest gifts mankind has to give. She, like Lucy, and Red Skelton and all the great comedians were (have been) world changers. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@chrisfitzchrisfitz5182]

Thank you Carol Burnett for all of your hard work and talent-happy 90th birthday!🎂🎈🎉🎊

[@connieverbeck1110]

Carol happiest of birthday this year!! And thx to the powers that be, thank you for airing this on utube. I was unable to see the first hour because hubby had a show he had to watch.

[@pixieq7559]

Oh, thank you for posting this. It was a nice way to start my day :)

[@Justin.Ullmann]

You're welcome 😊

[@marilynsnider8183]

[@SibmZZ]

[@Justin.Ullmann]

You're welcome 😊

[@sharonsage2347]

Ditto from Italy!

[@justmusic822]

Ah, this was such a lovely tribute to a wonderful artist. Yes, in the 1970's here in South Africa we were also treated on a weekly basis with the incredible funny episodes from the Carol Burnett Show, and I rarely missed it. Such a lovely lady. Thanks, Carol!!!!

[@dfwjac]

I wish they'd release the '64 Once Upon a Mattress, and the specials on DVD.

[@grenouillerjeanette777]

Thank you Carol Burnett for the laughter you brought into our homes. You still look wonderful and vibrant. The ending song is a reminder of happy times. Happy Birthday , you are a Grand Lady. 🥂

[@terebarba5860]

CAROL BURNETT es una mujer excepcional, con carisma y un corazón de oro, yo la he disfrutado enormemente, en inglés por supuesto. Perdón por escribir en español. Dios la guarde y la proteja, mil bendiciones... ❤🎉

[@rosemariemann1719]

39 mins 09 sec's : 4 minute egg leading into " Went With The Wind ". I had not seen Carol's superb shows before : they did come to England for a while, but I missed them... So a few years ago, when I got a " tablet", I was able to catch up on SO many " gems" from stage , screen and T.V. One of the very first things I found was " Went With The Wind "! The " curtain " line ! "I saw it in the window and I just couldn't resist it ".😊. One of the funniest lines I've ever seen !😂. What a phenomenon ! So much love ! Who could have done better ? ! Wonderful ! 😊 So many thanks !😊. 🇬🇧💕🇺🇸🌹🇬🇧😊🥀💕🇺🇸🦉🇬🇧

[@wally2786]

Thank you for uploading this. I haven’t laughed in 2 years. The Dentist sketch gets me every time.

[@jasonbricker7498]

Still watch the carol burnett show to this day love her

[@tas22222]

THis was very well done !! everyone who spoke or sang meant it from the bottom of their hearts ! ALL REAL just like CAROL I adore her I dont know her but I feel like I do !! I still watch the show over and over when ever I need a good belly laugh !! SO well deserved and im beyond happy they did this RIGHT !! Happy Birthday Dear Carol Burnett ! the friends and admirers you have earned on your way thru life is what dreams are made of

[@lasidoremi6888]

❤🎉from Lithuania 💌💐

[@skunkface]

This one is legitimate.

[@Caoucaren]

Legend

[@user-ny6dl8qf5e]

Carol Burnett: 90 Years of Laughter + Love was very well done with all the stars including the actors, and actress that know Carol Burnett including her chum Dame Julie Andrews, and now Dame Carol Burnett should this is a photo album keepsake for yourself look back on when she lays down in bed, and way to go dear friend, and you did have this time together!!!!!!

[@keepdreamin]

One thing that bothered me was Carol also has a long running friendship with Bernadette Peters too. Bernadette appeared on every Carol special that happened after the Carol Burnett show ended. Bernadette and Carol starred in Once Upon a Mattress and Annie movies together. Outside of Vicki Lawrence, Bernadette Peters appeared in the most Carol Burnett show episodes. And Bernadette's segments like the exorcism segment and the bratz segment are some of the most popular segments from the Carol Burnett show. I think that should have been showcased and the long time friendship between Bernadette and Carol should have been showcased too on this Carol Birthday Special.

[@bunji_beans]

Carol is one of the greats now and forever!!!

[@JesLovsu2]

Thank you for sharing this! 👍👍

[@Justin.Ullmann]

You're welcome 😊

[@user-bo8nb2mi]

You made us laugh and that's a divine gift.

[@sodapop83]

you're so sweet to upload this, thank you so much! 🤗

[@gestionhumana8743]

This was amazing. I'm in tears of joy.

[@JSandwich13]

Thank you so much for uploading this!

[@Justin.Ullmann]

You're welcome 😊

[@monl3807]

Thank you for streaming this i wanted to see it. 1:13

[@Justin.Ullmann]

You're welcome

[@ruff1draft]

Did not realize if she was still alive or not. Glad to see she is still with us

[@TtiOxala]

Lovely.

[@richardredmond1463]

Brilliant comedienne!

[@gretalins3787]

thank youuuuu for post thissss ❤❤❤❤

[@rodhitchen6089]

Carol Burnett appeared in The Twilight Zone with the great late Rod Serling. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@KennyRyman]

One person they never talk about was Lucille Ball. I just why they left her out??

[@bunji_beans]

They mentioned her once or twice verbally and in photos. Nothing against Lucy, but why was more needed?

[@yamil.343]

Thanks so much for this!

[@Justin.Ullmann]

You're welcome 😊

[@anitabarnes]

She stared in Annie legendary movie and she rock that little girls

[@OliverJanotta]

Tanks for Uploading! ❤

[@Justin.Ullmann]

You're welcome

[@annemccarron2281]

Carol's husband was one of the exeutive producers. That may have been why he was not sitting beside her. Good job, Brian!

[@vitothepizzaguy7475]

Watching this before they take it down

[@subsubsubsub5413]

She was amazing...

[@fbueller]

1:21:12 Katy‘a performance was not good. The orchestra often overshadowed her and Katy’s vocal didn’t have the required emotion needed. Another singer should have been selected.

[@maximilian2974]

Omg right!

[@SherylRenee]

Anti climatic...

[@ravenblood999]

Watch Kelly Clarkson sing for Carol on her show. It was so heartfelt

[@nickbigd]

She was by far the low point

[@davidfritz1331]

What this special does most of all is demonstrate the difference between classy intelligent comedy (Burnett) and cringingly unfunny people (with a huge "Honorable Mention" to the writers) who think the way to get real laughs is to scream, "LOOK AT ME!" ad infinitum. It's almost embarrassing to watch this, but Burnett is so amazing that I forced myself to sit through the entire thing,.

[@saugusguy]

It's a shame they didn't include the clip from when Rita Hayworth was on her show because it was the only time Rita sang publicly

[@RaymondHng]

That episode is online.

[@janew1720]

Happy Birthday to a legend of my childhood. Carol had great wit and comedic timing, I could listen to her banter with the audience for hours. I disliked her singing voice, especially when she did a serious duet with her guests.

[@brendagriffin5025]

Vicki Lawrence belonged next to her also.

[@johnnyj0104]

1:00:31 you almost got me killed with that notification 😬 😵

[@gormandelossantos7535]

Oh Carol! Why do you have to grow old...and oh Julie!

[@mikebee6988]

I enjoyed the special but am left wondering why there is barely a mention of Lucille Ball.

[@finddeniro]

Honesty attracts Talent.. 1933 Model.. She was Super women on the Gary Moore show..1950s..Laughable..

[@bigmamadebbie]

What a wonderful show and tribute! The three women towards the end of the show were disgusting. Why were they there?!

[@clevm002]

The presidents video looked CGI /AI so badly

[@margaretschaffner9133]

So much kiss ass in holywood. I do appreciate Carol Burnett growing up in the 70's but just too much ... and I'm seeing Cherliz Theron three times within the first 5 minutes. She had no idea who Carol Burnett was, and then Katy Perry. So sad.

[@tinovanderzwanphonocave544]

great to see so much bad plastic surgery in under 2 hours!

[@bluecollarguy67]

Wow, how incredibly tacky and inconsiderate of CBS not doing this tribute to Carol. She spent the vast majority of her TV career working at the network and they can’t even do this?? Look at their schedule, how many different versions of CSI and NCIS do you need to air? How many deceivingly edited reality shows does there need to be? I haven’t watched any one program on there in about 5-6 years and the same goes for the other three networks. Vast majority of programming is just garbage.

[@BernardCharles]

Marisa Tomei is so cringy. Talking over a legend. Yikes.

[@freddie488]

Maybe I've missed some but are all the VTs just African American people? I've just watched Mrs Obama and I think she was the third African American woman to do a VT

[@francoiscastelain8491]

Cher is very beautiful but I m desapointed she did nothing special for this show ..

[@drdavidtee]

almost all of the big stars and celebrities have died by this time. that first black woman was disgusting. so far this is boring and beneath Ms. Burnet and her talent. could they have picked a worse format> Probably not. This was just painful to watch.. this was a very sexist show and discriminated against men performers

[@zyxw2024]

Sorry. To the young ones viewing. "Where's the beef" Clara Beller. Google Clara Beller. A Taco Bell tv ad that went political.
