This is how you turn 90 — a big, glitzy birthday celebration with a star-studded list of invitees and a prime-time spot on NBC. Or at least you do if you're Carol Burnett, as the two-hour Carol Burnett: 90 Years of Laughter + Love special celebrates the career of the TV icon.
Burnett is one of the most famous TV performers of all time and a major influence in the world of comedy. She starred in her own revolutionary sketch show, The Carol Burnett Show, formed an iconic comedic duo with none other than Julie Andrews and appeared in numerous shows and movies throughout the years, including recent hit series like Glee and Better Call Saul. She is a six-time Emmy winner and is the namesake and first recipient of the Carol Burnett Award, which is handed out by the Golden Globes every year honoring an individual’s career in TV.
