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.

The comedy duo of Stiller and Meara guest star; they show off a bit of their act and join in the sketch comedy fun with the gang; Carol as the oblivious do-gooder, "Mary Worthless."

Guests include Nanette Fabray and Michele Lee.

Lucille Ball, Tim Conway and Gloria Loring guest star; featuring a sketch in which Lucy and Carol play rival Rent-A-Car agents vying for Tim's business and more.

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