Just discovered this clip. What a wonderful moment. What a wonderful show. What a wonderful lady. We had Betty White host SNL...how about Carol?

wow cap'n hook...talk about seizing the moment...that guy crushed it!

Agree that Carol Burnett is a national treasure and underappreciated

would love to see her host SNL! she actually is quote five years back as saying she didnt want to host the show, saying no one can top betty white....

I think the mass-obsession to get an old lady to host SNL was a one-time thing.

That was wonderful.

I don't think getting an old lady to host would be the case with her. She's simply a legend.

Carol Burnett perfected the recurring tv sketch comedy pieces that are SHLs bread and butter

they should be paying her royalties....

I'm not sure she's "under" appreciated. UCLA's School of Theater, Film and Television features a famous alum at each year's orientation session. The year Miss Burnett was the guest alumna, students and faculty (new and returning alike) simply lost their ****. Much more so than with younger stars in other years, such as Corbin Bernsen and Joanna Gleason. (The latter was great, BTW.) And Burnett was well worth the pandemonium, simply ad libbing during a Q&A.

Do we know if that guy ever got cast in a Broadway show?
