Carol Burnett, the beloved comedy classic, will be 90 in April, and NBC will honor her with a special two-hour extravaganza.
The presentation, “Carol Burnett: 90 Years Of Laughing + Love,” will feature an all-star cast of A-list celebrities such as Julie Andrews, Bernadette Peters, Katy Perry, Amy Poehler, Cher, Ellen DeGeneres, and Kristen Wiig.
“I feel so honored to share this night with everyone and reflect on so many amazing events over my career,” Burnett said.
NBC says the show will include famous sketches from The Carol Burnett Show and musical performances and tributes from Burnett’s favorite guests.
It promises to be an unforgettable evening for one of America’s most famous comedians!
The next Carol Burnett tribute show will undoubtedly be a memorable evening. Mark Bracco, the executive producer, promises an evening of music, humor, and star-studded tributes.
The special will be shot at the Avalon Hollywood Club in Los Angeles to commemorate the event. The event will include an homage to some of Burnett’s most legendary performances and a memorial to her decades-long friendship with Julie Andrews, titled Old Friends.
Burnett has been in the business for a long time, but she is perhaps best known for her work on “The Carol Burnett Show,” which aired on CBS from 1967 until 1978.
Former President George W. Bush awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2005 for her extraordinary career.
Carol Burnett, the legendary actress, and Julie Andrews, the singing wonder, have been close friends for many years.
Their friendship extends back to the 1960s when they were discovered playfully kissing on a sofa while waiting for filmmaker Mike Nichols at one of President Lyndon Johnson’s inaugurations, as recently highlighted in a television special.
Ms. Andrews told with affection how she often makes her friend laugh, even though he is usually more severe and quiet when they are together.
Since then, Carol Burnett and Julie Andrews’ relationship has been strong, even though Burnett just turned 89. This shows how close they are and how long ago they became friends.
In honor of Burnett’s dedication to television entertainment, her unique relationship with Andrews will undoubtedly be a highlight for fans of both stars, highlighting their wonderful friendship.
When the elevator doors opened and showed a lot of Secret Servicemen, the two friends gave each other a happy hug. The door had been extended several times, but their exceptional colleague still needed to attend.
Then a woman stepped out, thought to be Lady Bird Johnson, who strolled down the hall and quickly realized it was them when they could be heard howling with laughter as Carol Burnett fled behind the sofa in a fit of laughter.
Lady Bird Johnson then asked whether she was Carol Burnett, to which she answered, “Yes, and here is my friend Mary Poppins.” That was a hilarious event that those fortunate enough to witness it will remember forever.
Carol Burnett is undoubtedly among the most respected and well-liked celebrities today, making her 90th birthday all the more special. We’re all looking forward to her birthday celebrations later this year!
