A Special Carol Burnett Show Starring Burt Reynolds

Historical drama or opera performance set in 18th-century Europe, with a vibrant orange dress and black and gold brocade jacket adorned with intricate patterns and floral decorations.

The Carol Burnett Show always featured the best guest stars to help with their hilarious sketches. In this special episode, Burt Reynolds and Nanette Fabray join the cast of the show.

An adult male in a black tuxedo with a white shirt and bow tie, standing indoors at what appears to be an elegant formal gathering or awards ceremony. An adult female in a gold dress with thin straps and sweetheart neckline stands nearby.

Carol begins the show by introducing Burt Reynolds to the audience. He takes a few questions from the audience, including one starstruck girl who can’t remember what she was going to ask.

In one of the first skits, Burt performs the song “As Time Goes By.” The audience laughs as the set falls apart around him. Burt tumbles down a set of stairs but still manages to look handsome.

An adult male in a formal black suit with a patterned tie, holding what seems to be a dagger, set outdoors near stone steps during the daytime.

Another sketch features Carol and Harvey Korman as they go camping in the wilderness. Carol complains about all the awful things in nature, while Korman wishes he hadn’t brought her along.

Later on, Nanette Fabray takes the stage to sing a sweet song to the audience. Her beautiful voice sings of a musical world and completely captivates the crowd with her stunning performance.

A middle-aged woman wearing a yellow high-necked blouse with long sleeves and a dark vest over it, sitting at a wooden table in what appears to be an indoor courtroom setting.

Carol then plays a lonely bookworm stuck in a college library full of young couples. The list of hilarious sketches in this episode just keeps going. Your sides will be splitting before the end!

The Carol Burnett Show could always deliver endless laughs with a star-studded cast including Harvey Korman, Lyle Waggoner, Vicki Lawrence, and Carol Burnett herself. With guest stars like Burt Reynolds, though, it was unstoppable!
