Back when Vicki Lawrence was in high school, she sent Carol Burnett a letter saying that the two of them looked alike. Burnett needed someone to play her sister on her upcoming Variety show and she hired her pen pal. Thus, changing Larwence’s life forever.
Now, almost 50 years later, the two funny red heads are still celebrating their birthdays together. Here’s to them enjoying at least 50 more together because they still look great!
You know if CBS was smart, they would do a reunion show with Carol, Vicki, Tim Conway and Lyle Waggoner. I bet you the four of them could still be as hilarious as they were back when they did The Carol Burnett Show all those years ago. And TV needs that and them.
Vicki Lawrence joined The Carol Burnett Show in 1967 to play Burnett’s younger sister. Now almost 50 years later, the two of them still look like they are family when they met up for dinner yesterday.
Why hasn’t one of the networks given them a reunion Variety show with Tim Conway and Lyle Waggoner? I bet you would it be a ratings dream! Especially since all 4 of them are still hysterically funny!
The surviving members of Carol Burnett & Friends were reunited today to tape something special for an upcoming release of a DVD for Time Life filled with The Lost Episodes from the beloved Variety Show. Vicki Lawrence shared several photos of Carol Burnett, Tim Conway, Lyle Waggoner (one of the richest people in Hollywood) and herself from the taping, but didn’t say what they were doing exactly and when the DVD would be released. By the looks of it several people were lucky enough to experience their reunion. I sincerely wish I was one of them, but, I guess, this is close enough.
Doesn’t seeing the quartet together again like that, just being a smile to your face?
If you miss Carol Burnett & Friends, you can watch it every night at 11p on MeTV!
Jorge Garcia Instragrammed this photo of himself with Carol Burnett looking like they were at a casual wedding, maybe their own; so I have to wonder if they have something to tell us? Nope, it was just the two of them posing together during a break while they were filming Hawaii Five-0. Which is kind of a bummer because they look sweet together. Don't you agree? BTW Hawaii Five-O is back on CBS this Friday at 9p.
Tonight at 10p on TV Land Carol Burnett and Tim Conway are reunited on a very funny episode of Hot in Cleveland, and you don’t want to miss it.
Victoria gets a call from her sister (Jean Smart) that she won an award in her hometown of Canoga Falls and she has to come home to accept it. Not one to turn down an award, she bring Melanie, Joy and Elka to join her. Only problem is her sister lied to get her home because she wants her take care of their mom (Carol Burnett). She has had enough of being the caregiver and wants Victoria to finally take some of the responsibility off of her. Will she or won’t she don’t it?
You have to tune into a hilarious episode with so many TV legends, you can’t believe how many of them can be in one episode.
When I heard that Carol Burnett and Tim Conway were going to be on the show, I had to go see the show tape. It was one of my favorite LA moments to see that many greats doing what they do best in front of me. What I am sad you won’t see, is the long standing ovation Carol Burnett got when she came out to the unsuspecting audience. It had to be around 5 minutes long because everyone was so thrilled to see her. Then later in the episode, when Tim Conway was revealed the applauds were again long and loud. All of that equals the laughs Betty White got when she did Conway’s infamous walk, but sadly you won’t see that. It is a just a memory that will forever live in my mind.
While you won’t see all of that, what you will see will give you plenty of enjoyment and laughter so tune in.
