There is nobody I love more in showbiz than Carol Burnett and here she is on my show!  After making a documentary-style "Story Location Tour" (available on YouTube) on her life and career Carol reached out to me and invited me to her 90th birthday party.  She then graciously sat down with me for an intimate one on one conversation that covered so many various topics and moments from her legendary life.
