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!
Joe Jonas Instagrammed a photo of himself with a grey curly wig, glasses, a pearl necklace and a old lady’s dress over the weekend. I knew he looked like someone, but I couldn’t figure it out. Then it hit me, he looks like Thelma Harper from Mama’s Family! I wonder if NBC is thinking of bringing back the ’80s sitcom, just like they are Coach, and have him play the lead role. After all he is just a few years younger than Vicki Lawrence when she started playing the beloved role.
I don’t know about you, but I would totally watch.
Tonight at 8p Annie Claus is Coming to Town on Hallmark and you are going to want to catch her sweet story.

Those are the people on Santa’s nice list, but there is a man on the naughty list who is being nice to her for all the wrong reasons. He has been hired by Santa’s top helper who wants to replace the jolly man if Annie doesn’t come back so he will do what he can to stop her from returning.
