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 and Jack Gilford make a guest appearance in the story of "Snow White: 15 Years Later"; a car accident leads to a misunderstanding on "Carol & Sis"; Carol and Vicki deal with censorship.
Featuring skits -- "Carol and Sis: PTA Show", "Classic Movie Theatre: Mrs Magnificent.", and songs -- "Day In, Day Out"; "Skylark" and "The Trolley Song".
Guests: Steve Lawrence and Bernadette Peters.
A pair of grand opera voices, in the form of Eileen Farrell and Marilyn Horne, join Carol tonight in an episode that features Harvey leading a Fireside Chat with the First Family.
