From 1967 to 1978, The Carol Burnett Show made Carol Burnett a defining voice in television comedy. With Harvey Korman, Vicki Lawrence, Lyle Waggoner, and Tim Conway, she brought audiences sketches, songs, and movie parodies that remain memorable decades later.
Burnett could turn a pause, a glance, or a change in posture into a punchline. As the star of her own variety show, she also showed what a woman could achieve as both a comic performer and the leader of a celebrated ensemble.
For many viewers, her legacy is personal: the memory of watching with family and laughing together after a long day.
