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.

Guests are Dyan Cannon and Paul Lynde; Lynde plays a smarmy insurance salesman, and later appears in Canoga Falls in Cannon on As The Stomach Turns.

Featuring skits -- "Carol and Sis: PTA Show", "Classic Movie Theatre: Mrs Magnificent.", and songs -- "Day In, Day Out"; "Skylark" and "The Trolley Song".

Jonathan Winters returns as Carol's guest, highlighted by a dual role in The Wonderful World of Hospitals; fellow guest Dionne Warwick takes the stage solo and with Carol for a musical treat.

Guest stars Alan King and Lena Zavaroni; in sketches set on Hollywood Boulevard, a baseball game, and a bus stop, Carol and company prove that big laughs can be found everywhere.
