In 1967, Vicki Lawrence sent a letter that changed her life. She told Carol Burnett that she could play her sister, and shortly after that, she did.
Then, in 1973, Lawrence went from playing Burnett’s sister on The Carol Burnett Show to playing her mama in The Family sketches. Those sketches with Eunice and her mother became so popular with fans that it became its own series, Mama’s Family. That show is still being enjoyed by fans in syndication.
While Eunice and Mama did not always get along, the actresses did and do. So after nearly 60 years, they are still like sisters and enjoy hanging out. Therefore, yesterday, they had dinner and talked about old times! And we got this photo, wishing we could have joined them at the table!
Palm Royale had a little Christmas present for its fans. They reunited the show’s star, Carol Burnett, with his old co-star, Vicki Lawrence, from The Carol Burnett Show!
I can tell you what Lawrence does on the series, but, believe me, you want to see it for yourself! Because it brought me more joy than all of the physical presents I got for the holiday. And I got a lot of perfect presents.
This photo does not do their reunion justice. So open up your Apple TV app and enjoy Eunice and her Mama!
Palm Royale will be back for season 2 next month, and today Apple TV released a preview of what we can expect. And what can expect is an even crazier season. And not only because Carol Burnett is awake this time around, but also because Patti LuPone joins the cast.
In season two, Maxine is left a social pariah after a scandalous public breakdown. She’ll have to draw on her deep well of cleverness and cunning to prove, once and for all, that not only does she belong, but she just might have what it takes to rule this town. Along the way, she will uncover untold truths and finally understand what this town is truly built on … secrets, lies, and the occasional felony.
The first episode drops on November 12th with a new episode every week until the season finale on January 14th.
For almost all of Palm Royale season 1, Carol Burnett spent it uncommunicative in bed. But then, she woke up, and it looks like she will not be going back to bed for the new season on Apple TV+. And that is a big reason to tune in.
In season two, Maxine (Kristen Wiig) is left a social pariah after a scandalous public breakdown. She’ll have to draw on her deep well of cleverness and cunning to prove once and for all that not only does she belong, but she just might have what it takes to rule this town. Along the way she will uncover untold truths and finally understand what this town is truly built on … secrets, lies and the occasional felony.
There is only one thing I needed to know, and that is if Ricky Martin, who was shot in the season finale, would be returning. According to the press release, he is part of the cast!!!
The 10-episode season debuts on November 12th with the first episode, followed by one episode weekly until January 14, 2026.
Before Jackie Earle Haley was scaring kids in their dreams in Nightmare on Elm Street, he was scaring adults on The Carol Burnett Show. How cute was the 11-year-old during his television debut back in 1972?
