Six-time Emmy® Award-winner Carol Burnett has demonstrated such versatility since ending the 11 year run of the Carol Burnett Show that she is now as widely recognized for her dramatic abilities as she is for her comedic and musical talents. Americans fondly consider Burnett a true living legend in entertainment, having bestowed more People’s Choice Awards upon her than any other woman in the award show’s history. In 2003 she was a recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors and in 2005 received The Presidential Medal of Freedom. Some of her other notable awards include six Emmy® Awards, five Golden Globes®, the Peabody Award for “Friendly Fire,” and the Ace Award for “Between Friends” with Elizabeth Taylor. She has enjoyed the kind of career that most performers are only able to dream of, moving easily from the stage to television, from feature films to films for television, and from variety specials to music and comedy specials.

As a weekly visitor in America’s living rooms, Carol Burnett always opened her show with a few minutes of hilarious banter with the audience. LAUGHTER AND REFLECTION: A CONVERSATION WITH CAROL WHERE THE AUDIENCE ASKS THE QUESTIONS is a rare opportunity to talk to Carol in the same enjoyable and intimate audience-interactive format. Carol says, “I love the spontaneity of these evenings. I never know what anybody is going to say or do or ask.” Come with your questions and share in the fun with one of America’s most loved and respected performers.
