Carol Burnett is a famous American comedian and actress. Best known for starring in the long-running television variety show ‘The Carol Burnett Show’, she is truly a leader in the world of television entertainment. Hers’ is a perfect rag to riches story—from a period of distress in the early years to the all-gloss and glitter, later in her life. Undeterred by the sorrow, she in fact used the same for a life full of laughter, smile, comedy and entertainment. Burnett’s entry into the world of entertainment was as a guest actor but soon, she affirmed her position and set sail for a glorious career. Over the years, she developed sloppy slapstick comedy style that has been highly lauded by the audience. While she did a number of shows, theatre and films, the best bit came with her eleven years and 286 episodes running show, ‘The Carol Burnett Show’. The show not just allowed her to exhibit her multi-talented side but gave audiences a taste of an upgraded television variety show that included comedy sketches in the form of parodies, musical numbers, weekly guest stars and question-answer segment. In her five decades of career as a comedian and stage actor, she has literally ruled the domain and has been presented with numerous awards and honors
