Carol Burnett is an Emmy-winning actress and comedy icon who became a household name during the late 1960s with her infamous variety sketch comedy series, The Carol Burnett Show, making her one of the first women to host a show. Born in San Antonio, Texas, Burnett and her family eventually moved to Los Angeles, where she studied theater and musical comedy at UCLA. After establishing herself on the Broadway stage, she made her television debut on The Garry Moore Show as a series regular.
Annie is a humorous family film, but most of the comedy gold comes from Burnett's performance as the lush supervisor, showing off her incredible physical and slapstick comedy, which essentially provides a bit of a redeeming quality to her ratchet character. The movie earned generally positive reviews from critics, including Roger Ebert, who gave the film three out of four stars, noting Burnett's performance as one of the film's best.
Release Date September 23, 1992 Creator Danny Jacobson, Paul Reiser, Peter Tolan Cast Paul Reiser , Helen Hunt , Leila Kenzle , John Pankow , Anne Ramsay Main Genre Comedy Seasons 8 7 'Better Call Saul' Created by Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould Bob Odenkirk stars in the Breaking Bad spin-off series, Better Call Saul, which is set six years before the events of Breaking Bad but also gives viewers a look into Saul's movements after the original series.
Noises Off... is a frenzy of a comedy featuring Burnett at the top of her game as a veteran actress who believes she is past her prime. Burnett goes beyond the traditional over-the-top dramatic antics of a star who senses that their light is about to be extinguished, conveying essentially a humorous Norma Desmond-type character.
There are very few humorous episodes in Rod Serling's groundbreaking sci-fi series, The Twilight Zone, and Burnett's episode ranks as one of the series' top comedic episodes with a heartfelt message. Burnett delivers an endearing and sentimental performance, but she still brings a sense of deadpan and dry humor, which doesn't take away from the wholesome theme of the episode.
