The Carol Burnett Show/Trivia


 * Acting for Two: Many sketches would have Carol playing twins, usually to spoof films in which actresses like Bette Davis did the same. Examples include "A Swiped Life" and "Cobumble".
 * One question period had Carol tell a childhood anecdote in which she actually pretended to be a set of twins, complete with changing of clothes, etc.
 * Blooper: Of course a compilation of them was released.
 * Edited for Syndication: The intros with the audience and non-musical sketches were edited into the half hour 1978 show Carol Burnett and Friends.
 * Enforced Method Acting: According to Carol, the reason behind Ms. Wiggins's trademark walk was due to the fact that the skirt she was given was too large and walking that way was the only way to keep it from falling off.
 * Hey, It's That Guy! / Retroactive Recognition:
 * To put it simply, anybody with a pulse from 1967 to 1978 will have guest-starred on the show.
 * Hell, even some of the audience members were (and are) recognizable. Modern viewers will likely find Hannibal Lecter being in the audience rather hilarious.
 * "A Special Evening with Carol Burnett": Eunice's psychiatrist will be familiar to Golden Girls fans as the pyromaniac in the episode "'Twas the Nightmare Before Christmas".
