“The Carol Burnett 50th Anniversary Special” to Air Sunday, Dec. 3

Filming on Stage 33 at CBS Television City in Los Angeles, the show’s original soundstage, Burnett will reminisce about her favorite sketches, Q&As with the studio audience, guest stars, her memorable wardrobe and bloopers, as well as the tremendous effect the show continues to have on television today as a true pioneer of sketch comedy.

“I can’t believe how fast the time went, and what makes me the happiest is that so much of the funny stuff we did still holds up today, and we can share it with generations to come,” said Carol Burnett. “What a great ride!”

“‘The Carol Burnett Show’ was a comedy showcase that was years ahead of its time. If social media existed then, clips from the broadcast would have quickly gone viral,” said Leslie Moonves, Chairman and CEO, CBS Corporation. “We are very proud of the show’s significant place in CBS’ legacy, as well as in television history, and we look forward to this primetime celebration of incredible talent, led by the incomparable Carol Burnett.”

“The Carol Burnett Show” premiered on Sept. 11, 1967 and starred Carol Burnett, Harvey Korman, Vicki Lawrence, Lyle Waggoner and Tim Conway. Airing for 11 seasons and a total of 276 episodes, the show earned a total of 25 Primetime Emmy Awards, including three for Outstanding Variety-Music/Comedy Series. In addition, the show earned eight Golden Globe Awards, including one for Best Television Show – Comedy or Musical, and Burnett received four for Best Actress – Comedy or Musical.

THE CAROL BURNETT 50TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL will be produced for television by dick clark productions. Carol Burnett, Steve Sauer, Allen Shapiro, Mike Mahan, Mark Bracco, Paul Miller and Leslie Kolins Small are executive producers. Paul Miller directs.”

So sad that Tim Conway wasn’t part of the special. He was one of my favorites!

Of course we are watching, I’m curious about Tim as well, I hope they mention why he’s not on.

Tim Conway is still with us. Why isn’t Tim included in the special?

Carol made a brief vague statement. I suspect he’s far too ill to come on (I have no idea if he has something like Alzheimer’s).

The closest we have, today, to a ‘variety’ show is America’s Got Talent…and it will be wonderful to celebrate ‘The Carol Burnett Show’ 50th Anniversary with her.
Variety and good clean comedy is sorely missing in today’s ‘entertainment’ industry.

Well, I’m dating myself, but I grew up watching variety shows, such as Carol B. Donny & Marie, Sonny & Cher, Dean Martin Variety (as well as his celeb roasts)
definitely pre-PC days. Lots of actual TALENT & improv. not dependent on smut.
Ahh yes, the GOOD ole days of REAL “entertainment.”

I used to watch all of those shows too, and loved them. I cannot say the same about today’s reality shows.
