Carol Burnett is Coming Back to TV!

Posted on October 22, 2016 at 8:00 am

Carol Burnett has announced a return to series television. And it gets better — she will appear in a sitcom created by Amy Poehler. In presenting Burnett with a SAG award, Poehler and Tina Fey were speaking from the heart when they explained how much she had influenced and inspired them both. We don’t know anything about the show’s premise or other cast members, but we do know it has a contractual guarantee to be aired (rare for a pilot). Can’t wait.
