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.

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.

Special guests Marty Feldman and Carol Channing; highlights include Marty, Harvey, and Carol as a bored airline crew who cause havoc on a flight, and wacky commercial spoofs.

Steve Lawrence steps into the Fred MacMurray role in a take-off on the classic noir film "Double Indemnity" here named "Double Calamity", with Carol in the femme fatale role.

Tim Conway and Steve Lawrence guest star, taking part in TV commercial spoofs; Tim also appears as The Oldest Man -- now working as a dresser for the theater -- and in a pantomime sketch with Carol.
