Thank you to whomever is keeping the memory of Johnny Carson alive with this channel so people born after he retired can enjoy his comedy & hosting greatness.

[@steve4158]

He was truly the King of late night TV. Every talk show since has been a poor imitation.

[@Deezcutz2024]

And carol such gems

[@gamernorcal]

Carol is 90 and still great! Saw her in Better Call Saul just last year - terrific performance.

[@flenif2247]

She was great on "Mad About You " as well. I've never seen her do anything poorly as an entertainer.

[@ninthserpent]

She’s currently in Palm Royale with Kristen Wiig.

[@KratostheThird]

Carol Burnett is one of the few talents from this era who is still around. I hope she can live for much longer, because she was a aura of talent that today’s sad excuse for female actresses/comic could only dream of. Thank you to whoever is uploading these old clips from a bygone era.

[@Deezcutz2024]

💯 🙌😑 how I miss this Era and comedy and the general goodness of ppl bsck then

[@KratostheThird]

@@Deezcutz2024 Agree.

[@snowman300]

You were doing great until that anti-woman broadside 😢

[@Deezcutz2024]

@@snowman300 no it was all legit...

[@loutruckmd]

What I wouldn't give, to be able to walk into my house 1975. Just to see everyone again, and be able to watch these old shows once again.

[@D-MARIE77]

Carol has always been wonderful.

[@karenleemallonee684]

Wow, that was so cool when she mentioned that she & Bert Convey had gone to high school together & dated a couple of times. She just seems like a very down to earth, sweet person! WE LOVE YOU, CAROL! ❤

[@cjrrun]

Oh to go back in time and watch true talent

[@tdunph4250]

Mt Carson always got the big names to come on his show! This is great! 🥰

[@dianewinters8628]

Carol is so much fun🤪

[@tracygentil7123]

Johnny was the best late night host and Carol was such a great comic talent

[@susanford2388]

Carol is such a great comic talent. She is still alive.

[@jnyfumare]

Carol Burnett IS THE BEST!

[@mattbynumfilms]

Amazing, Carol and Johnny worked together on the Gary Moore show, and Carol and Bert went to school together.

[@starbellak5154]

The iconic....Carol Burnett. Love her...

[@thetankcommander3838]

No one. . . . And I mean NO ONE. . . . Can ever top the hilarity, the caring nature, the wholesomeness, of Carol Burnett. It is no secret that she is one of those people that generations will remember. My parents both watched her show when they were kids. I would just love to meet her. Even though that dream may always remain a dream.

[@janeskey5042]

Now I feel old : I watched her when I was a kid, too back in the 70’s !

[@jillkjv3816]

God bless Carol. 😊 ❤ 😍

[@debbieellett9093]

I so enjoy watching these old shows. Definitely brings back fond memories.😍😘

[@debbirbodner5358]

I enjoyed watching both Carol and Johnny, that's what is called family shows. Not like now

[@nonid5627]

I was working as a pastry chef at The Hermitage Hotel in Nashville and she stayed there during her book tour about 5 years ago. I didn’t meet her, but I made her a welcome dessert tray and she sent back kind regards.

[@c.rutherford]

Carol Burnett always seems so polite and respectful as other actors have said who have worked with her through her long career. She appears to be a genuinely nice person. I saw her surprise Vicki Lawrence once she was relating a story of how the producers said she was "too rough" to be hired on the Burnett Show. She said she told them, "So are diamonds, before they're polished." What a comment.

[@cinemacodey]

She’s so great!!

[@Barry101er]

Great entertainers, at their peak.

[@pmafterdark]

Late night television at its greatest.

[@georgewolynetz3874]

What fascinates me even more is just how Bert Convy was the opening guest before Carol Burnett?

[@bobloblaw9791]

It’s the cotton candy hair

[@miguel_vlzqz]

you know? Growing up consuming gringo media, there were a lot of "famous" people the were portrayed as "bigger than life" and as "generational talents" that once I'd go and watch/listen to their stuff, I wasn't impressed. So, I thought Carol Burnett will be along those lines: an overhyped-american only kind of talent. But in this interview alone you can see how she is really different, sparking, funny, witty and with a big presence. She is really great!

[@joemoore9248]

She's gorgeous ❤

[@ER1CwC]

7:11 She should have recorded Be My Love! That was impressive.

[@Deezcutz2024]

Oh how I miss these times 😑♥️

[@joeanon5788]

She was 42 when this was recorded.

[@GeorgAndexlerAndexler]

Vicks formula 44😮

[@nobodyreally834]

amazing, she lied to Stephen Colbert. Either Carol lied or she really doesn't remember her Johnny Carson interviews.

[@AndrewMacLaine]

Ahh, the old conservative times lol. Carol makes an edgy joke of "You can come to my Basement anytime" and people were afraid to react!

[@davidfritz1331]

Carol Burnett not being scheduled as the first guest on Carson? How insulting. I loved Bert Coney (R.I.P.), but Burnett was (and is) an American icon. She absolutely should've been the first guest. But she has such grace that I'm sure she didn't make a big deal of it. Carson and his producers should've been ashamed of themselves.
