Appealing to Jim
Jim Carrey was a young comedian as the Carol Burnett Show was in full flow. He was just ten years old when he sent his resume into the show asking for an audition. It could have been Jim Carrey’s big break, but luckily his career didn’t suffer too much, and he became a megastar anyway.
Putting People In Their Place
Burnett was asked by actress Kristin Chenoweth where her dress was from. Not one to care too much about fashion, she told the actress she had no idea, and maybe the outfit was like 40 years old. Few people have been brave enough to ask her what outfit she’s wearing since.
