Kristen Wiig is hosting SNL this weekend. Please get Carol on SNL with her.

[@davidstewart7378]

I was just thinking that a little while ago wouldn't it be great if during Kristen Wiig's monologue she did a little send-up of the Carol Burnett Show bumping up the lights and asking anybody in the audience if they had any questions and there's Carol in the audience to ask a question

[@davidstewart7378]

She was in New York with Kristen on the Kelly Clarksin Show this week and they had all these guest stars pop up on SNL last night but for whatever reason Carol opted not to make what would have been a brilliant and inspired appearance

Carol has so many interesting experiences and memorable performances to talk of, it's always a joy to see her still active! I still have visions of her walking on stage with curtain rod through her shoulders and making us laugh with "I saw it in the window and just had to have it!" That was a costume of a lifetime!.

🤩 Ms Kelly you did it again..what a phenomenal sit down visit with Queen Carol Burnett and the talented Kristen!! Superbly done thank you 🥰🇨🇦

[@johnrose2348]

One of the best memories of my mother was when we all watching The Carol Burnett Show and of course it was so funny that you couldn't help but laugh, anyways, hearing my mother laugh so much, it is really a treasure in my memory. In the seventies there wasn't much to laugh about, the Vietnam war was raging, and my brother was a soldier. It was an intense time in our history and The Carol Burnett Show was a much-needed stress reliever and I thank Carol Burnett for that.

[@iwnunn7999]

Carol was a respite in my troubled childhood. She'll always be special to me.

[@itsareference]

What’s insane she had a troubled childhood too. Her parents were alcoholics and her gran raised her in poverty. She slept on the couch for almost two decades. She is a source of joy … sweet girl. But anyways I hope you’re doing better now .. the past is in the past … you are alive now ! I love you

Carol Burnett is the mf Goat!! Wow! When women where not considered funny according to society she was killin it! And then Kristen Wiig her apostle! Soo cool to see them!

[@SpiderHacksaw]

I know that I would cry meeting Carol Burnett also. I grew up, as many of us did, going to bed after watching the hilarity of the Carl Burnett show and having all wonderful dreams and no nightmares. It was like being tucked into bed by Carol and crew. So, wonderful and joyous.

[@39aeb]

I got to see Carol Burnett twice, once in 2016 and again in 2018. I should add I have loved her since I was 4 and I will be 52 next month. She came to one of the performing arts halls where I live. In 2016 my mom and brothers surprised me with tickets...I was on the first level and 22 rows back so when she did the Q&A portion I raised my hand but it was hit or miss because of where I was seated. I then saw she was returning in 2018....I believe both times were in regards to her most recent book and the show was titled An Evening with Friends. Well I called the day they went on sale, got three rows back from the stage...she got to the first Q&A portion of the show and I raised my hand and the next thing I knew there was an usher right next to me.....I forgot anything and everything that I wanted to really say and asked her with all her success over the past decades how she has remained so humble, she said she isn't and the audience laughed, sort of like her variety show. To see her in person though, you just get so starstruck words escape you, well in my case they did.

[@meo21626]

Such a great story!

[@catwhisperer9489]

What a great story/experience!!!! ❤

[@taintedlove202]

The exact thing happened to me. My mom and I had nosebleed seats but the usher found me. During the 15 seconds he was next to me, I totally choked. I couldn’t find my words (that I’d rehearsed in my mind 50 times) and I waved him off. I just couldn’t do it. My mom said it was the very first time she’d seen me speechless. Ever.

It’s so amazing to see these iconic actors and actresses from back in the day who are still so spry and interesting. I mean, her and William Shatner are both about 90 years old and they seem like they’re in their 70s. There are many others that fit into that category as well. Love it! 😢

I have adored Carol Burnett since I was a little girl watching "The Carol Burnett Show" way back then.Every movie she has done she is so real..and her laugh rocks!!!

[@Stevebaby123]

Living in the countryside, outside a small town, there was no way to get a theatre education let alone any experience on stage. I watched Carol’s show every Saturday night and used my tape recorder next to the TV to at least listen to it again. I mimicked the characters, dialogue, and timing over and over again. I ended up going to college to study theatre and absolutely can swear to you it would not have happened had I had not been able to watch Carol Burnett. I wish I could thank her but I’m sure she has heard stories like mine her entire career. I just love her for sharing all of it. ❤

[@demiloca]

Carol’s fresh from coma talk is the funniest - and like an old friend I’ve missed seeing, who always makes me laugh. She’s a national treasure and a personal one.
