Carol Burnett

Comedian

Carol Burnett went from the stage to an Emmy-winning job as a regular on The Garry Moore Show, in the early 1960s. Between 1967 and 1978 Carol Burnett hosted one of the most popular shows on television, The Carol Burnett Show, a variety show that featured comedic skits with regular cast members Harvey Korman, Vicki Lawrence, Lyle Waggoner and Tim Conway. When the show ended, Burnett appeared in the movies, including a starring role in Pete 'n' Tillie. In 1991 Burnett tried television again, but a revival of her variety show was short-lived.
