Comedian and stage actress Carol Burnett, who first gained popularity during her stint on "The Gary Moore Show," hosted this one-hour variety series. Her talented supporting players included Harvey Korman, Tim Conway, Vicki Lawrence (who got the job based on her resemblance to Burnett) and Lyle Waggoner. Skits often featured guest stars, such as Mama Cass of the Mamas and the Papas or singer Steve Lawrence. One sketch, "The Family" (which featured Lawrence as the persnickety Mama and Burnett as her hotheaded daughter) was later spun-off into it's own sitcom.

Ruth Buzzi joins Carol in the audience; Burt Reynolds shows up for the Q&A; John Davidson takes part in a salute to classic movies from MGM, including "National Velvet."

Harvey and Tim as tipsy friends coming home from a night of carousing; a spoof of "The Arabian Nights."

Guests include Nanette Fabray and Trini Lopez.

Guest stars Rich Little and Eydie Gorme join in a tribute to Alfred Hitchcock; Carol and Harvey play a couple who are not speaking to each other in a largely pantomimed sketch.
