I was a dancer plus we were in the comedy skits with Dolly an Carol. Dolly an Carol are so nice. How you see them on TV is how they are in real life . Down to earth real people.

Amazing ladies and a hell of a lot of talent in that audience!

[@lxdgr8]

As a (former?) violinist, when the fiddler tuned in, someone started peeling onions. I was surging with joy and pride.

[@kenc6082]

Two VERY smart, talented ladies. So glad they're still with us.

My goodness! When Lewis picked that banjo! That was probably the best part! And she told him to "Keep it!" Lol!

[@johnnotgalt2697]

John w I wonder if he still has it! Here’s an article about little Lewis - Lewis Phillips -- as a successful bluegrass musician today. twestival.fm/lewis-phillips-bluegrass/ In fact, you can see some clips of the adult Lewis here on KZbin. So again, when this pandemic lockdown is over (hopefully soon!), time for a reunion of those three!

[@Our6Plus]

I wonder if it was really Lewis' banjo to begin with and Carol was just borrowing it for the skit.

[@donnaarmstrong9029]

I will try to message you tomorrow. It is 5 in the morning hhere

[@waltermurphy6771]

Hi Donna hope you’re okay?

Carol Burnett may not have been able pic a lick but she was funny as all hell!

[@jacksonurenmusic]

She really was. We were blessed by her and Dolly.

Oh, the days when showbiz people were real performers and not just actors and actresses who can barely act. They can't sing, dance, do comedy they just stand in one spot and say their lines. The variety shows of early TV are on YT now. Thank goodness. I recently watched one of Dean Martin Roasting of Jackie Gleason, there was more talent in that room than there is on one TV show these days.

Remember the variety/sketch comedy show ‘Hee Haw!’??? Oh man we loved that show, it was absolutely chock full of talent! And the Lawrence Welk show on PBS Sunday nights!🤩🤩🤩 The good old days of tv programming.

[@bungorogers7067]

Just binge watched a ton of Carol Burnett Show then got off on a Dolly binge that brought me here! Two absolute titans!
