"Maude" (Bea Arthur lookalike) sings "You Made Me Love You" on the legendary "Carol Burnett Show" from the 70s

[@plaidstockings]

This is my grandmother.....she turned 100 2 days ago...must be the spunk that got her to 100.....either that or good Italian genes.....by the way, she always had a good singing voice.

[@JRIJR75]

+Joseph Mauro This is one of my favorite Carol Burnett Show clips. Your grandmother was amazing, and it's wonderful that she has this unique piece of history to claim for herself. I hope 100 years young is treating her well!

[@druboy7201]

BRAVO GRANNY!!! LOVE THIS CLIP.

[@pearlsboyproudofit2834]

God bless your beautiful Granny

[@denver729]

God bless you and your family So sorry to hear about the passing of your Grandmother. You could tell just by watching this clip that she was funny and she was a great singer! Remember the good times. May she rest in peace.

[@leeinoregon1326]

God bless her! This was just on MeTV tonight.

[@GINGERALERR]

I loved how she just got up there on stage, no stagefright at all and she just OWNED it.

[@discovery781]

Yup😊

[@gregduke5812]

Carol just talked about this on Conan O'Brien's podcast. This lady was gold! Should have been in the cast.

[@papagena1]

I was just listening to Conan and I couldn’t believe when she she started talking about this, because I stop remember it from watching it in TV as a kid in the 70s! I remembered it better than Carol did! I remember the lady was mad that Carol sang the the wrong note, and Carol said I’m sorry! And they went back and did the ending a second time!

[@myrgo1648]

She sure did!

[@fordcougar99]

Came here to find this after hearing the show... they said they played this at her memorial when she died...

[@jenngee8435]

That's why I stopped by. I had never seen this. She has a great voice.

[@mikeydan]

I just watched that podcast!!!

[@davehacker7427]

Sweet Lord! when TV was just incredible. How I miss those days.

[@jm7804]

It may seem corny to young people now, but those of us who lived through it know differently.

[@davehacker7427]

Most definitely.

[@rubenmejia942]

As a millennial, it's appealing to me as well. This moment is very spontaneous and feels so organic. Just an everyday American, who can very well be the grandma next door who happens to be naturally talented given her 15 minutes of fame. You can tell the sweet lady has natural charisma, confidence, and wit. She doesn't have to act like an obnoxious moron for attention. Also, Carol Burnett knows how to defer the spotlight and allows the lady to have her moment. Plus, the audience is respectful. They are not pushed to act excessively for the cameras. The result of all that is television gold.

[@rainbowgold6410]

Me too 😢

[@LMarti13]

One thing I'd say to this is that all generations highly value authenticity, so tons of millennials and zoomers would actually agree with this in that sense. Over time almost all TV has become as sanitized as a NASA clean room.

[@CarMoves]

Terry: "You screwed it up!" Carol: "Sorry!" Carol had NO EGO -- she knew that letting the other people shine made her shine!

[@646guy]

She knew how to command an audience... such stage presence

[@user-rj5ld7jh7n]

She's Italian and everyone knows All Italians know how to sing and have that Charisma think Sinatra Damone Tonu Bennett etc

[@ZagnutBar]

This lady would have killed on America's Got Talent. Pure joy.

[@avenger67]

This is one of those beautiful moments in television

[@rtususian]

I am so surprised the producers of Maude didn't hire this woman for an episode. It would have been really funny.

[@plaidstockings]

She could have played Maude's sister.

[@undergroundjohnny]

@@plaidstockings Absolutely!!

[@dribblesbibbles]

Bea Arthur would have never gone for that. She really was a very serious, somewhat bitter woman that hated competition. Very talented though.

[@user-km4sx1hn8n]

Perhaps they did ..most Hollywood stars use impersonators!! Little fact I learned...

[@travisjames3517]

“Maude” ended in 1978 and I think this was 1979.

[@SteveStalzle]

One of the greatest spontaneous moments on Carol's show EVER.

[@larsonanne]

Steve Stalzle Umm, not.

[@Skelly5962]

streamoconsciousness Um, yes. Read some of the other comments, like those from her granddaughter.

[@fkd1963]

streamoconsciousness um, yes, assh^le

[@cliffbrown1798]

Hmmm, no, not spontaneous.

[@Jim-pt8kk]

Carol Burnett recounts that story, but I didn’t realize how good the woman sang.

[@itstheburnz]

carol was truly DYING on this.. laughing her head off.. as was the audience. and BRILLIANT to let the woman sing..

[@jtg3765]

Carol's great sense of Improv shows what a great performer she is.

[@Summertime9390]

Conan brought me here. This shows good tv is timeless. I don’t know how many decades old this is. I was absolutely captivated from beginning to end.

[@b.jlovett]

I think a good guess judging by the hair styles and clothing, 1974-75.

[@jhb1493]

There's talent that shines....and there is talent so huge that it makes everyone around it shine, too. That's Carol Burnett.

[@mrwright7414]

This was fabulous! What's so funny is that this lady (Terry McCann) took control and made it her moment.

[@matthewsherwin8741]

My condolences; Terri was incredibly talented. This clip is one of the best from the Carol Burnett Show!

[@angelgolds]

Carol's face when the lady says, "You Made Me Love You in the key of G."

[@MediaLover194]

She just lost it at that point.

[@obscurelyvague]

"Angel Goldstein" I don't know much about music. What is it about the key of G that makes it funny?

[@mrmdoze]

@@obscurelyvague it's funny not because of the key of G, but rather because this lady was so specific with her request that it seemed she had planned this in advance or was just super eager/confident...

[@JavierArveloCruzSantana]

The reason I laughed at that very specific request is because Dorothy (Bea Arthur) did that in an episode. Remember the Rusty Anchor episode where she outshined Blanche (Rue) and said something like ... No. What makes you think I sing? ... "D flat is good for me!" Brilliant!

[@adrian993]

@@obscurelyvague To request a specific key means that she is definitely NOT an amateur singer. She's sung this song before, or is a professional...that's why Carol is laughing.

[@dekelanson5280]

I remember seeing this when I was a kid. She just went up there and killed it. Great piece of television history. RIP Ma'am.

[@BTURNER1961]

There was another such occasion in 1977. A member of the audience asked Carol how he might go about auditioning to sing for her show. Carol said 'well come on up! " and Dennis Ammack(I am guessing from what it sounded like on the clip) sang 'What I did for Love' from Chorus Line. Before he was done, he was joined on stage by Steve Lawerence and of course Carol. He was pretty damn good too, but he sure was nervous. Its the last thing he expected but he got one hell of a memory and story.

[@ccongie]

This was a great memory of my grandmother. We had a vhs copy of this growing up.

[@obscurelyvague]

"Chad Congie" Amazing. It had such comedic timing (IMO) that one would think it was staged. Just who was the lady in the audience who stood up and started it by calling out the Maude look-alike?

[@dustingdustin]

Saw Carol's show last night in chicago, and she showed this clip. So many years later, it had the entire audience rolling! Timeless!

[@PIXPromosMore]

If this happened today, not only would it go viral, but it would probably make the rounds on every news program known to mankind.

[@Eisu]

Heard this story in Conan's Podcast from Carol Burnett and I just had to look it up. Amazing.

[@pianoman551000]

"You Made Me Love You " is one of my all time favorites and, this audience member Terri McCann really did a beautiful rendition of it...I wish I could have heard her sing all the way through to end!! She vocalized such a beautiful tone and perfect vibrato for this song!! She's now with the angelic choir in the heavenly realm!

[@Mochrie99]

Wow, she was definitely a dead-ringer for Bea Arthur, wasn't she? That was awesome! :D

[@frankromeo9225]

I just saw Carol Burnett this week at the Tilles Center in NY This 100 year old lady just passed away and Carol mentioned that this clip was played at her memorial service There was no setup Just spontaneous fun !!

[@strawberrybananapeel2538]

I remember this episode in real time (I’m 63) and it cracked me up, loved The Carol Burnett Show, thanks.

[@Marchant2]

I was as surprised by watching this as I was when Susan Boyle sang on Britain's Got Talent. Only this woman can not only sing, she has a great stage presence as well.

[@bloomingtg1214]

I just now listened to this story on Conan O’Brien’s podcast and just had to view this video. It was so worth it! You’re grandmother has been gone for awhile, but she made me smile today! 🥰

[@anothermarvelfan5142]

Literally here after Carol mentions it. Taking a quick break to watch this video before I resume. What an amazing podcast episode and performance!

[@photographingtoronto2350]

What happened to stars with such class and who were such fun! What a real pleasure to watch.

[@richeck328]

What a wonderful performance by this beautiful woman, you can defendantly tell that the audience loved her very much and especially Carol Burnette herself by her actions onstage as well as her fondest memories years late of this show. What a class act this was!!!! Loved them both.

[@TJinPgh]

One of if not the greatest moment ever on the show. We watched every week and I remember seeing this when it originally aired. Truly amazing. My condolences to the family for your loss.

[@stevehinnenkamp5625]

Goosebumps. When a great song of all time is sung with abandon by those who did not rehearse and Wows You!

[@susanmauro254]

Terri McCann went to be with the Lord June 6th. We will miss her! Sing on, GG, we love you!

[@covatembel]

God bless her soul. May she rest in peace. Maude is one of my all time fave sitcomes

[@pearlsboyproudofit2834]

Blessed Be and Godspeed Mrs McCann

[@denver729]

Every so often (every few months) I watch this for a good laugh (and good singer!) This was well done. God bless you and your family..and my thoughts and are with you all. Rest in peace, Ms. McCann!

[@miss_midge_]

My condolences. She was AWESOME!!

[@Skelly5962]

My heartfelt condolences for your loss. This is one of my very favorite Carol Burnett clips because of your Grandma. The lady had the very essence of star quality. God bless her.

[@JackBlack-dn6kc]

She had star quality. Absolutely delightful and what a voice

[@Beautifulmusiclistnr]

I never get tired of watching this clip! It's fantastic. Terry McCann did a fantastic job, and Carol was fantastic also! I know I've commented on this clip before, but it's so good! Thank you!

[@StephenRandisi-te9ih]

This lady was amazing. Such charisma and talent!!

[@JakeZelmore]

Why they did not give this woman a singing contract promptly after this show is beyond me!!! she is amazing!!!

Who else is here cuz you saw Carol talk about this on Conan

[@Agmanellium]

I saw this first run as a kid. It stuck with me. It's my Roman Empire

I've seen this video many times over the years, and when I need a smile on my face or when I need a good laugh, I watch it because it's so entertaining, and it's a personal favorite of mine! Thank you for sharing it with us!

I remember when this aired originally. A very talented lady.

[@user-pz4db1wf7u]

I always loved watching Carol, Burnett, and friends and amazing show lots of talent! She really did look like Bea Arture!! what an honor to be on stage with such a legend Carol Burnett is the best!

[@Shenruss]

okay, this is coming from a fully grown straight Black male who was born AFTER the time of show tunes but just in time to know who Carol is and watch golden Girls... THIS is Sassy as all HELL. Bea was a songstress and couldn;t have done BETTER herself. and they say the 70s was all dull and disco! Awesome upload, Pal!

I love her , absolutely amazing. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@norasteinbergs1896]

Two amazing performers!!

[@martinknoerr8037]

I loved that show. Carol Burnett is such a sweet wonderful funny lady, and she just loved her audience so much... she was so sweet to give so many the spot light, even if it was for only a bit. She's one of the greatest. ❤️

This makes my night. Love seeing musicians improv.

[@TheInvincibleViolet]

Fantastic !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@vickifriend9285]

This is wonderful viewing. I’m just watching Carol’s 90th birthday celebration show. As the saying goes, They don’t make em like that anymore.

[@karenrich9092]

AMEN! My dad would say the same thing about certain films. Carol Burnett always had the classiest people on her show. Too bad the variety show will never come this way again.

[@Aramanth]

This is so classic!!! I loved this as a kid! I mean what a great episode and this was just the introduction!! Thanks for posting!

[@hotgritz4sho]

This clip was simply HILARIOUS!Growing up I loved Carol and Maude so for me Carol's involvement in the routine was the best comedy. And this Maude look-a-like was surprisingly on point and spot on terrific! Great fun!!! Thanks for posting!

[@brianboyd7356]

This would never happen today. Kudos to the band from the Carol Burnett show. They had just as much fun with this. When I’ve had a really bad day, or I’m a little depressed or what have you, I play this. Several times. And suddenly I’ve left behind what was weighing me down.

[@Beautifulmusiclistnr]

Just Brilliant!!

[@user-sw3qs7rq4x]

That was WONDERFUL 😊😊😊😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉

[@RobertPagano226]

I'm a wreck, I actually remember this episode and said the same thing when the camera panned on her! How ironic to see this uploaded here!!😀 Because Maude actually wore this type of clothing on her show and her hair was the same gray.

[@cynthialee3228]

Luv carol burnett...true comedy at its best...👍
