No one ever said life was fair. Just Eventful Picture Quote #1

I’m really not that funny in real life! But I am the best audience one could find. I love to laugh Picture Quote #1

It’s also selfish because it makes you feel good when you help others. I’ve been helped by acts of kindness from strangers. That’s why we’re here, after all, to help others Picture Quote #1

You’d get on the plane; and every single person is somebody really, really famous. It just killed me. On one flight you’d have Linda Gray, O.J. Simpson, Robert De Niro, Carol Burnett, Loni Anderson and Burt Reynolds... and Francis Ford Coppola Picture Quote #1

$I took my first acting class at age 6 because I found out that’s what Carol Burnett was doing - acting. Also she had an imaginary friend as a kid and went to UCLA, two things we have in common. I will always admire her and hope one day, I can make someone laugh a fraction as hard as she’s made me bellyache Picture Quote #1$

Carol Burnett probably had the biggest influence on me as kid. Although I was very young and watched her a lot in reruns, I was mesmerized by the way she transformed, by her physical comedy and the rolling laughter from the live studio audience. I loved her most as Scarlett O’Hara and her well known Cleaning Lady character Picture Quote #1

I always was trying to make people laugh as a kid. I was a big fan of Carol Burnett and Gilda Radner. I watched them and I remember feeling as a child, when I heard the laughter they got, a little jealous that they made someone laugh like that Picture Quote #1

In 57, I got a job at the Blue Angel nightclub, and a gentleman named Ken Welch wrote all my material for me. I lived at a place called the Rehearsal Club that was actually the basis for a play called Stage Door Picture Quote #1

I was once asked to do my Tarzan yell at Bergdorf Goodman, and a guard burst in with a gun! Now I only do it under controlled circumstances Picture Quote #1

I’m glad I was born when I was. My time was the golden age of variety. If I were starting out again now, maybe things would happen for me, but it certainly would not be on a variety show with 28 musicians, 12 dancers, two major guest stars, 50 costumes a week by Bob Mackie. The networks just wouldn’t spend the money today Picture Quote #1

What would be a show that I would rescue? If I could bring anything back, it would be ‘The Carol Burnett Show’. Tim Conway is just... I just watched him so many times do stuff over and over. He’s just so amazing Picture Quote #1

I think there have always been funny women, from Carol Burnett to Joan Rivers. When the audience sees a woman, they innately know she’s worked twice as hard to get there, she’s had to prove that she can be the leader, first, and then be funny on top of it. She has to emit a confidence that she’s in control Picture Quote #1

As a kid, I always wanted to be Carol Burnett or Johnny Carson. I love to chat and entertain Picture Quote #1

My grandmother and I followed my mother here, to a house a block north of Hollywood Boulevard but a million miles away from Hollywood, if you know what I mean. We would hang out behind the ropes and look at the movie stars arriving at the premieres Picture Quote #1

Originally, I came from Texas, and we lived on - I guess you’d call it welfare, what we called relief Picture Quote #1

So many people: Lucille Ball is the earliest incarnation of a woman I thought was funny, Joan Rivers, Roseanne, Carol Burnett, Gilda Radnor, down to current times, where you have Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, and Kristen Wiig Picture Quote #1

I was kind of shy as a kid. I was a pretty good student. I was a wallflower, or nerd, if you will Picture Quote #1

On the good days, my mother would haul out the ukulele and we’d sit around the kitchen table - it was a cardboard table with a linoleum top - and sing Picture Quote #1

You have to go through the falling down in order to learn to walk. It helps to know that you can survive it. That’s an education in itself Picture Quote #1

I don’t remember a time when I wasn’t waiting for a scab either to grow or to fall off my knee Picture Quote #1

Dance, dance for meDance with the starsLaugh, laugh for meWherever you areSing, sing out loudLike angels doRemember meThe way I’ll remember youLove, love for meWith all your soulCry, cry for meAs I grow oldSee, see me from the edge of Heaven’s eyeFeel for me ‘cause feelings never dieI’ll remember youMy very special friendUntil we meet again(By Carrie Hamilton, Carol Burnett’s daughter) Picture Quote #1

I was in love with a lot of people, because I was a student of the game of comedy - Carol Burnett, Jack Benny, Red Skelton, Jackie Gleason, Don Rickles, Red Foxx, Moms Mabley - who gets no credit, Richard Pryor, Bill Cosby, George Kirby. I loved them all, and I used to just take a page out of all of them Picture Quote #1

Making music on TV used to be as common as commercials. In the 60s and 70s, prime time was stuffed with variety shows headlined by such major and treasured talents as Carol Burnett, Red Skelton, the Smothers Brothers and Richard Pryor, who had a very brief comedy-variety hour on NBC that was censored literally to death Picture Quote #1

I’ve been in radio, God, twenty years. I started as a stand-up comedian. I wanted to be Carol Burnett when I was growing up. Radio was just kind of an accident. I did morning radio in my hometown of Buffalo, then went to Rochester, then Chicago, and then New York Picture Quote #1

You know, one wonderful thing that came out of my Enquirer experience is that, in my case, it was ruled tabloids are magazines. Which means they didn’t have the protection that a newspaper has Picture Quote #1

I remember watching ‘The Carol Burnett Show’ with my parents as a kid. All those weird outfits she wore, like turtlenecks and long skirts, really stayed in my head Picture Quote #1
