Lucille Ball or Carol Burnett--Who was funnier?
I've been watching 'Carol Burnett and Friends' lately, and Carol Burnett is a scream. Her facial expressions are priceless. She and the others were great at sketch comedy.
I know Lucille Ball was considered a great comedienne, and I agree, but my vote goes to Carol Burnett. |

I agree on all parts. Lucy was great non-the-less, Carol just had her beat. |

Carol, if for no other reason than her broader range of characters and comedic styles.

They're both great, but if I have to pick one it'd be Lucy. I love Lucy!
