About
"Carol Burnett delves into little-known stories of the guests, sketches and antics that made the Carol Burnett television show legendary, as well as some favorite tales too good not to relive again. From the show's original conception to its evolution into one of the most beloved primetime programs of its generation, the elements that made the show so successful in a competitive period when TV variety shows ruled the air waves. Carol crafts a lively portrait of the talent and creativity that went into every episode. How the show almost didn't air due to the misgivings of certain CBS vice presidents. How she discovered and hired Harvey Korman, Vicki Lawrence, Lyle Waggoner, and Tim Conway. Anecdotes about guest stars and her close freindships with many of them, including Lucille Ball, Roddy Mcdowell, Jim Nabors, Bernadette Peters, Betty Grable, Steve Lawrence, Eydie Gorme, Gloria Swanson, Rita Hayworth, and Betty White"--Provided by publisher.
