Today is Carol Burnett’s 90th birthday. NBC is throwing her a party tonight at 8p, and they are calling it Carol Burnett: 90 Years of Laughter and Love. And they invited her friends and people that rightfully worship the ground she walks on.
They are Steve Carrell, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton, Kristin Chenoweth, Bernadette Peters, Julie Andrews, Amy Poehler, Oprah Winfrey, Michelle Obama, Vicki Lawrence, Steve Martin Short. Charlize Theron, Jane Lynch, Billy Porter, Aileen Quinn, Jimmy Fallon, Sofia Vergara, Susan Lucci, Bill Hader, Marissa Tomei, Bob Mackie (who looks absolutely fantastic), Maya Randolph, President Joe Biden and Jill Biden. Lisa Kudrow, Melissa Rauch, Stephen Colbert, Cher, Sutton Foster, Darren Criss, Tina Fey. Bob Oderdick, Laura Dern, Kristen Wiig, Allison Janney, Ellen DeGeneres, and Katy Perry.
It was nice to see all of these comedic greats honor the legend. However, the song and dance numbers were awful. Bernadette Peters deserves better than to be paired with Kristin Chenoweth on two numbers, including a crappy take of Easy Street from Annie. Billy Porter substituted for Tim Curry on that song, and he is no Tim Curry. Of course, it wasn’t all bad because it was nice to see Aileen Quinn sing Tomorrow. And Katy Perry was so the wrong choice to close the show with The Carol Burnett Show theme song. If this was American Idol, the judges would’ve been as mean to her as she has been to the contestants this season.
Also, most of the bits didn’t work either. Amy Poehler took questions from the audience and failed. Marissa Tomei almost did something worse than winning the Oscar for My Cousin Vinny. Same with Burnett’s newest co-stars from Palm Royale, Laura Dern, Kristen Wiig, and Allison Janney.
Even though the event had some uneasy moments, I would tell anyone who is a fan of Burnett’s to watch. There are plenty of great tributes like the one from Melissa Rauch, Cher, and Bob Mackie, insights into her life, lots of funny montages of her work, and Carol Burnett.
So watch and just fast forward past things I told you about.

Allison Janney and Bryan Cranston shared a photo of themselves in bed, so do they have something to tell us? Yes, they do. But not that.
The Breaking Bad star wrote, “Day one of shooting Everything’s Going To Be Great, and we’re already in the sack!” What a way to break bread.
The movie is described as regional theater owners who travel from state to state with their family. All while dealing with loss and trying to find out who they are. And they do it on stage in front of a live audience.
You know this is going to be very good. How could it not be with those two starring in it?
Oh, and is it just me, or does Cranston look like Robin Williams here?

Do you feel like you have been waiting forever for the season premiere of And Just Like That? Well, your wait isn’t going to be much longer because Max announced its return.
So get your calendars, and look at June because that is when it will be back.
Not only did they not say what day it will be back on our televisions, but they also didn’t tell us what to expect from season 2.
However, they shared a trailer. So get ready to see Aidan, and just like that, they got us to watch.

I love drinking ICEEs, and look forward to having one. But I am not sure I would eat a bowl of cereal with the Cherry and Blue Raspberry flavors like the frozen drink.
However, Kelloggs says that the cereal utilizes an innovative ingredient that cools your mouth as you eat it.
“Kellogg’s is excited about our first-ever collaboration with ICEE that delivers a ‘cool’ and delicious new cereal to excite your senses,” said Laura Newman, Senior Director of Brand Marketing at Kellogg Company. “Nothing helps beat the heat like a cold, refreshing ICEE, and now fans can discover all the fun of ICEE at the breakfast table just in time for summer.”
Now, I am curious and want to try it. Are you brave enough to give it a taste?
I might even do a Gene Simmons and put ice in my cereal to make it even cooler!
