Carol Burnett: 90 Years of Laughter + Love

Matt Roush says...

We’re so glad we had this time together. As legendary comedian Carol Burnett turns 90, a two-hour tribute special brings out the stars to pay homage at the Avalon Hollywood. Guests include Cher, former co-star Vicki Lawrence, her friend of 60 years Julie Andrews, Lily Tomlin, Susan Lucci, Ellen DeGeneres, the list goes on. The celebration includes comedy sketches—Marisa Tomei dons Carol’s Mrs. Wiggins costume—and plenty of music, including a rendition of Sondheim’s “Old Friends” with Kristin Chenoweth and frequent The Carol Burnett Show guest Bernadette Peters, who also teams with Billy Porter and Jane Lynch for a rendition of Annie’s “Easy Street.” Vintage clips salute her beloved sketch partners Harvey Korman, Tim Conway and Lyle Waggoner. A good time will be had by all. (And an extended cut will begin streaming Thursday on Peacock.)
