VIP: Mae East from The Carol Burnett Show

[@christopherkraft1327]

Mae East... The writing, the costumes, the performances. All classic, all a pure treasure!! 😷

[@RandyTheWildHorse]

Carol sure does a great voice impersonation of Mae West. Very funny interview.

[@ljmcdonald2703]

I absolutely adore her

We never saw the show in the U.K. and the more I see of it, the more I wish that we had. What a talent, the ‘Gone With The Wind’ sketch was beyond brilliant.

[@colinweir5807]

That look is classic when asked " Are you really glad to get back in harness "

[@pageantbluexj7630]

Anyone watching during the pandemic? What a great one to show now with the interview done in two separate places and on a screen behind Harvey in the background. In all of her many amazing skits, it's interesting how totally different Carol looks and the way she plays it. Sensational as always, though!

[@erust9465]

I adored Harvey! Every time he’d loose it just cracked me up!

[@katherinkeegan8601]

I remember learning about past movies because of watching this show. This show kept a lot of movies in the public mind. No matter what the skits were about, the were always family friendly. The worst thing they ever did was cut the shows up into 1/2 hours slots. So much got left on the cutting room floor. Glad to know that the original shows have been saved and can be bought. I own some myself. This show was so innocent and entertaining compared to what is offered today. I would like to see something similar make a comeback today. I think far more people would watch it than the present industry would admit to. Thank you Carol and Friends for all the great memories. RIP to those who have already gone.

[@juneberry1982]

The problem with comebacks or remakes is that they would be made trashy just like all the rest of the garbage made these days. Best to leave well enough alone, besides NOBODY could ever outdo Carol Burnett!!! ♥

Love the birthday math. I was 39 at my last birthday. When was that? 30 years ago. Haha!!!!

I'm surprised the writers didn't have her say 29. That's the age most women stop at, 29 forever!

I didn't get the accordion joke. Help

[@tracyahrens4717]

She played or squeezed it between her knees (or maybe much higher up)...that's why it was painful.

[@sundownsahara]

When you play the accordion you have to open and shut it near your chest, so I'm guessing she meant it hurt her boobs.

[@kristisimonon]

Her chest got caught in the accordion.

[@toyamosley1955]

Ha 😆

[@akrenwinkle]

I know it's all in good fun, but Carol's dismal opinion of Mae is pretty clear, which makes it funnier. The same for Carol's take on Doris Day. But just the opposite regarding Joan Crawford. Carol was a fan and it showed.

[@michaelbauers8800]

Having seen some Mae West movies, all I can say is she was one of a kind. She wrote a lot of her own lines. She was seemingly a feminist. Had no problems with gay people or black people.

[@akrenwinkle]

My, my, my!!! Whew!!! This Mae East can seduce!!! She almost had me going!! That was SOME constume dress, Miss Carol! It really looked like you had all those lushious curves. And I could tell that you were playing a part that secretly came natural for you!! 🤗 Wow! Those hips, small waist, and vavoom bustline!. I was analyzing, wondering if this was how you could be, alone with your husband??!! 😁😀🤓💗 Well, anyway, this was worth watching. Something told me to turn to this video. I always enjoy your videos, Miss Carol. Keep 'em coming. However, I do have a "bone to pick with you". This morning, at 8:32am, while watching MeTV channel, there was a commercial showing You, in a skit making fun of the old show called, The Waltons, but you had mockingly nicknamed it, "Walnuts". Well, I am not going to watch that Carol Burnett episode show, and I'm surprised and hurt that you, or somebody, would make a horrible mockery parody like that, about such a beautiful precious family show! I grew up watching that show. We still watch the old re-runs every day, so it's sentimental to me. You are a good kind-hearted person Carol, so this doesn't make sense, or seem like your character, to make fun of real life like that. You usually only do fictitious funny skits, that everybody can enjoy, and laugh at, but not that. Is there any way you can get MeTV channel to stop showing that particular bad commercial? And I notice that MeTV channel only picks on The Waltons show. They don't make a mockery of any other show. And I have just recently started watching The Carol Burnett show at 11:00pm, and I don't want to have to endure that particular episode, (Walnuts), please! 😔😪😥

[@bobareeniobobareenio2935]

Sorry, but not funny at all . I guess it was back in 1967. Doesn’t hold up. Not to mention that making fun of Mae West is not funny. Maybe a one note gal, but , hell, she came from poverty in Brooklyn and worked hard , used her smarts and became the highest paid entertainer in her time . Hats off the Mae West. (No I’m not gay- although there’s nothing wrong with that )

[@juneberry1982]

She's not making fun of her. She's paying tribute to her through humor!

[@bradholland2092]

I agree. This was not at all funny to me. The worst skit on this show I’ve ever seen.

[@kristisimonon]

She does a great Mae West.
