Carol Burnett's Biography mention of Liz: X-Rated - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Larry Tate · 05-03-2010, 04:11 PM

Carol Burnetts new Book has a short few page chapter
where she chats about a PW appearance with Liz where Carol's partner was giving a clue for Tweet & gave the clue Twat....................well you can imagine.................Carol said excuse me & he repeated the clue, the audience that was twittering burst into an uproar of laughter, she looked over at Liz & could not see her........................she had fallen off of her chair & was helpless laughing on the floor.

Carol's Partner thought it was the past tense of Tweet if you can believe that.

Allan Ludden smiled & said don't look at me, I am only passing the water around.

Carol sat dumbfounded till the buzzer sounded, Liz was so engulfed with laughter and gasping for air that although she was back on her chair she was unable to respond................the buzzer mercifully sounded & ended the round.

Up to this point PW was shot live at 2 PM every weekday..............after this experience it was taped....................forever more....................................

Carol spoke of the mid 1960's but this would have been in the early to mid 1970's so her memory is somewhat off here I think.

There is a nice photo of the three of them there that in have not seen before.

That is hilarious!

I didn't know Burnett had a book out. Can I ask if she includes many memories of the Carol Burnett Show?

I just did a quick glance through it, but yes she has chapters devoted to each of her castmates on the show & as well about many others such as her friend Lucy Ball & others like Joan Crawford, the chapters are quite short.

She does write a fair bit it appears to me about the show but it is more about her & the people she met along the way.

From what I've read, Carol Burnett was the only one who got Tim Conway to crack up on camera on The Carol Burnett Show. And she did it by uttering a profanity. They all laughed, but I guess it was a big deal because no one had ever gotten the better of Tim Conway.
