Carol Burnett is an American comedian, actress, singer, and writer whose career spans more than seven decades across television, theater, film, and literature. Burnett became a leading figure in American television comedy through "The Carol Burnett Show," the sketch, musical, and variety program broadcast by CBS. She was the first woman to host her own comedy-variety series. The show ran for 11 years and averaged 30 million viewers a week, supported by an ensemble including Harvey Korman, Tim Conway, Vicki Lawrence, and Lyle Waggoner, and featured prominent guest stars. Burnett's signature wink and ear-tug signoff became widely recognized in television history.
Before her television success, Burnett made her mark on Broadway, originating the role of Princess Winnifred in the musical "Once Upon a Mattress," earning a Tony Award nomination for Best Actress in a Musical. She joined the cast of the variety series "The Garry Moore Show," where she played a range of characters, including her well-known cleaning woman persona. Burnett co-starred with Julie Andrews in "Julie and Carol at Carnegie Hall," which earned her an Emmy Award. In film, she is known for her performance as Miss Agatha Hannigan in the musical "Annie."
Burnett is also recognized as an author. Her memoir "One More Time" became a national bestseller, followed by "This Time Together: Laughter and Reflection." She won a Grammy Award for her audiobook memoir "In Such Good Company." Burnett continued to take on screen roles, guest-starring in the drama series "Better Call Saul" as Marion and earning a nomination for her performance as Norma Dellacorte in the Apple TV+ comedy-drama "Palm Royale," becoming the oldest nominee for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series at age 91.
Burnett's honors reflect her significant place in entertainment history. She has received 12 People's Choice Awards, eight Golden Globes, six Emmy Awards, the Horatio Alger Award, the Peabody Award, and the Ace Award for "Between Friends" with Elizabeth Taylor. Additional recognitions include the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Kennedy Center Honors, and induction into the Television Hall of Fame. Burnett received the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.
