The Trailblazing Comedy Icon You Should've Never Heard Of: Carol Burnett

A solo episode today due to the crazy forces that be! (Is mercury in retrograde or is it just Spectrum's (terrible) internet?) First Kelly catches everyone up on her Coachella weekend and NYC marathon fundraising efforts. Then, by listener request, Kelly dives into a trailblazing comedy legend: Carol Burnett. Carol turns 92 later this month and is still going strong as ever. But did you know that the huge success she achieved happened in part due to the kindness of strangers? Listen in as Kelly dives into the mysterious benefactors who helped her get to New York where she found success on the stage, tv and ultimately her own iconic variety show.
