Lucille Ball Sent Carol Burnett Flowers On Her Birthday | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

Carol Burnett is so wonderful, I don't even have the correct words for her..

[@aussieburn777]

They had such a wonderful bond Carol and Lucy and Carol always gets emotional talking about the flowers she got from Lucy on her birthday. My mum wrote a cheque recently for my sisters birthday whilst she was dying she died a couple of days later 98❤

As maybe the only Brazilian fan of Conan O'Brien in the world, I can say without fear that I don't know who this lady is. I don't know who Lucille Ball is, but just because of this interview, I already love both of them. Carol has so much humanity in her eyes and the way she speaks; it makes me so happy

[@muffinamy83]

I'm jealous that you get to see Carol for the first time. You must watch her variety show from the 70's, 'The Carol Burnett Show'. She's a genius, as was Lucy.

[@wayne_paulo]

@@muffinamy83 That's so nice, thank you for sharing that. I will definitely look for it.

[@meb114]

@wayne_paulo if you've watched a sitcom like Seinfeld or late night variety show like Conan's, the way it's put together, from how it looks, is directed, to the type of comedy is due to both those women!

[@MarCapa-ed5uv]

I’m glad that now you know both; Lucy, and Carol Burnett, they are American institutions of comedy, and acting.

[@habracken8004]

Lucille Ball was a trailblazer. She & her first husband had a studio, Desilu, which produced shows like The Untouchable about gang violence during Prohibition. She also greenlight a little show called Star Trek.

[@LJ-ht4zs]

I loved when Lucille Ball appeared on Carol Burnett's show - they were two extremely funny women and had great chemistry together. Even though Lucy was 22 years older than Carol - when they played together they seemed close in age.

[@RussClarkRocks]

Carol is a national treasure.

Thank goodness for Nick at Nite because it allowed someone like me, who was wasn’t even born when I Love Lucy aired, to enjoy her show. I was 4 when she passed. Still one of my favorite shows today.

[@bfgivmfith]

Oh my God! I am so grateful I watched this! The fact that Lucille Ball influenced you, the two most amazing and funny women the World has ever known! And then then her passing away on your Birthday. I am so grateful Carol Burnett shared that! I get that. Thank you! Beautiful!

[@peterc4056]

Along with most of my generation, Carol Burnett is the funny, crazy aunt who raised me through the television. Amazing and talented woman and showrunner.

[@billmiller9145]

Living legend, her show was always one of my parents favorites.

National treasure. Best of humanity. Credit to the species. ❤

🤧🤧💘💘 That flower story just got me. I feel privileged to have grown up watching these 2 women paving the way and setting the bar for women in comedy. Love both these ladies. RIP Lucy. You are still so loved. Never forgotten. 🙏🙏🕊️🕊️💘💘💐💐

[@LLynneM]

The Carol Burnett Show + The Mary Tyler Moore Show meant so much to me as a young girl. In the early late 60s, early 70s my mother was a rare young woman. She had her baby at 19 and was divorced by 21, so she was a single mother when that was highly unusual. She worked at night becuz that’s where the money was for a young woman then (she was a Playboy Bunny, back when that was a legitimate (+ hard) job - a cocktail waitress + bartender at the Club), and child support was a vague notion + dream, becuz there was so little need for it. So I spent most of my nights alone in an apt, watching TV shows and the absolute highlight of my week was MTM (who looked a lot like my mom at the time), and Carol Burnett. She made me laugh + feel happy when I was lonely, sad + sometimes (but rarely) scared. Thank you, Carol (and Mare).

[@ElChris816]

She's simply wonderful. Just an amazing person.

[@jazminratzlaff5357]

Carol and Lucille are both treasures and gems of comedy! They are brilliantly genius in drama films as well. Superstar careers, that had their own television shows. Thank you bringing her up Conan, she did indeed pass on Carol’s birthday. And Desi Arnaz is such a trailblazing pioneer as well. 😍😘🥰🤩🌟✨🖤😆🤣😂👑🎙️⚜️💎🏆 📺

[@elvisfan61]

I'm a big Lucy fan and have heard Carol tell these stories, but it is so great to hear her tell them again. They always sound fresh and fun! Carol Burnett is a class act!

[@deaditeluvr]

during the early days of youtube when i was a kid, some of the first videos i used to watch on here were old clips of the carol burnett show with my grandpa. we would laugh and laugh and now that i’m an adult and he’s gone i can only imagine how fun it must have been for him to experience those sketches through my eyes for the first time. i’ll always love carol burnett for helping make those memories special.

Carol guested on Lucy's show; the two played airline stewardesses who are forced to put on a show to entertain passengers in mid-flight. Memorable episode. It's on KZbin.

[@siddiqahmad5193]

Carol Burnett is a true living legend. Came from humble beginnings and never got too big for her britches. I really enjoyed watching her in the closing episodes of BCS and the follow on interview appearances. She's an all around delight on par with the late great Betty White, R.I.P.

[@LJ-ht4zs]

It's great that these 3 very wonderful funny ladies: Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett and Betty White were wonderful women and were all friends of each other.

Carol Burnett is an absolute treasure and this episode made me so very happy. Protect her at all costs! ❤

[@chunri1626]

Love Lucille ball. Desi is underrated for his acting, producing, everything because of their relationship. But my word, if you ever watch the episodes of I love lucy , his acting is top. One of My favorites is the first few minutes of Lucy cries wolf. His head shake gets me every time. Also love his reaction when lucy meets bill Holden. When he peers through in between them in that camera shot, hilarious .

[@LJ-ht4zs]

Also, Lucy was underrated in how knew the people she wanted to work with her - Gale Gordon etc. and writers that wrote for her radio show Jess Oppenheimer, Madalyn Pugh, Bob Carroll Jr. - she had worked with Karl Freund in movies and suggested him to Desi that he was the right cameraman; also Bill Frawley, whom she knew from film, called her about being on the show. She set him up to talk to Desi. When she was on her own - they said she knew everything -camera lighting, she could direct, produce -- everything. She also was doing all that, raising her two children, and later she bought Desi out from Desilu Studios Inc. (which was losing money at that time, due to his drinking, Desi was making bad decisions.) So she was even doing more than Desi at that time, acting in, producing, head of Desilu Studio and raising two children. I saw a piece of her rehearsing and directing etc. what an incredible, knowledgeable person. She did not have her hair done, no makeup, just really into it - loved, wished they filmed more of that behind the scenes.

[@LJ-ht4zs]

These two fabulous people Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz came together for the most wonderful sitcom ever - both with major talents and appreciation for each other - finally to round out the Fabulous Four was Vivian Vance and Wm Frawley. (I always called them that) and when the Beatles came on the scene afterwards they were called The Fabulous Four - I should have trademarked the name.

[@monicalenahan5829]

Love this!! Both ladies are Icons. Amazing how Lucy helped her.

I grew up watching "I Love Lucy" but I had no idea that she had other shows or that she made movies before television. I love her two post Lucy shows and her movies. I also LOVE that she was also in a 3 Stooges bit and a Marx Bros. film. I kind of wondered if they were friends when I was little because they were funny. I think I found out they were friends when I say Carol in one of Lucy's shows.

[@michaeltipton5500]

I'm so glad they were friends in real life. I think Lucy saw herself in a younger Carol Burnett and could connect easily.

[@prestonage]

To be clear, Desi did NOT invent the three-camera system. He hired one of the most pioneering cinematographers in film history, Karl Freund, who refined an existing idea to perfection and then every sitcom since copied his techniques.

Conan went straight from this interview to do his Hot Ones interview on the same day. All he did was change his tie.

[@Jedzelex]

Good thing that there was no TikTok back when Lucy & Carol were starting out their careers. Because their legacy would've been forgotten by now. I mean who's going to remember most TikTokers that are big now in 50+ years? Their platform won't be around by then. But its almost for sure that TVs will be around in some form. So unless these TikTokers manage to make the jump to TV or movies, their legacy will be gone. A flash in the pan.
