Carol Burnett will receive the 2013 Mark Twain Prize

21 May 2013 10:55 AM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »

Legendary comedic actress Carol Burnett is joining a very select group of funny people: She's been named the recipient of this year's Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.

The honor from Washington's Kennedy Center is given to someone who has "had an impact on American society in ways similar to the distinguished 19th century novelist and essayist best known as Mark Twain." Burnett, whose long career includes six Emmy Awards and a place in the TV comedy pantheon for "The Carol Burnett Show," will be the 16th recipient of the award.

"From her television program and appearances, as well as her performances on Broadway and in film, Carol Burnett has entertained generations of fans with her vibrant wit and hilarious characters," Kennedy Center Chairman David M. Rubenstein says in a statement. "We are delighted to pay tribute to this unique and beloved entertainer."

Past Mark Twain Prize recipients include Ellen DeGeneres, »

Monday Mix-Up: Spock meets Spock and Carol Burnett

13 May 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »

In preparation for Star Trek Into Darkness, we present you with these dark moments…

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?

The image supposedly is from a first season episode of The Carol Burnett Show. Surprisingly, little seems to be known about the details of why Leonard Nimoy is there in full Spock regalia. Some sources indicate that the skit uses Spock as a punchline for Burnett wanting baby advice from “Dr. Spock,” though is both supported and refuted, depending on what source you want to go with. Other sites say that the sketch is titled “Mrs. Invisible Man,” though no details about the it or why Nimoy is there are offered.

Pretty funny, though.

And we would be remiss if we didn’t point you to this meeting of the Spocks…

Carol Burnett gets her own intersection in Hollywood

22 April 2013 5:20 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »

There's no denying that Carol Burnett has left her mark on Hollywood. Now that mark is official as the intersection of Highland Avenue and Selma Avenue has renamed Carol Burnett Square. The ceremony took place April 18, with Burnett on-hand to unveil a sign marking the intersection.

The intersection, just outside of Burnett's alma mater, Hollywood High, holds a special place in Burnett's heart. The actress tells a local CBS affiliate, "To have a square named after me -- at Highland and Selma -- it's like a miracle." Burnett first moved to Hollywood with her grandmother as a child. "I remember going with my grandmother to the movies on Hollywood Boulevard when I was young. And the movies kinda gave me my start," she says.

Turning 80 years old on April 26, the funny lady still has her favorite sketches from "The Carol Burnett Show," including the ones with Vicki Lawrence that would »

Comedian Jonathan Winters Dead at 87

12 April 2013 10:22 AM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »

Jonathan Winters, once described by “Tonight Show” host Jack Paar as “pound for pound, the funniest man alive” and a comedian whose freeform work with multiple voices and personalities presaged the antics of comics such as Robin Williams, died of natural causes Thursday in Montecito, Calif. at 87.

A pioneer of improvisational standup comedy, with an exceptional gift for mimicry, a grab bag of eccentric personalities and a bottomless reservoir of creative energy, he was introduced to millions of new fans in 1981 as the son of Williams’ goofball alien and his earthling wife in the final season of ABC’s “Mork and Mindy.” He appeared in numerous films including “It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World” and did extensive voice work on toons including “The Smurfs.”

Born Jonathan Harshman Winters III in Dayton, Ohio, Winters was raised mostly by his divorced mother, a radio personality in Springfield, Ohio, and showed an early gift for mimicry. »

TV on Tap: Logo Delivers Strippers, "The Glee Project" Gets Put 'On Hold and Will Online Viewers Save "The Carrie Diaries"?

Logo's latest documentary is a nuanced symposium on gender roles and sexuality

with What?! I'm a Stripper.

Deadline thinks that The Carrie Diaries has a decent shot at renewal thanks to online viewership, hoping that Carrie will mirror Heart of Dixie's performance, which was able to turn streaming viewers into improved ratings in the second season. Carrie may be starting to get on my nerves the way her adult self did, but it would be a shame to lose Walt so soon. Meanwhile, the ratings challenged Nikita is likely get a final season to wrap its storylines.

Don't expect a third season of The Glee Project this summer. TVLine reported yesterday that the competition won't be returning to Oxygen due to a mix of low ratings and that Glee's next season still isn't official. However, an Oxygen spokesperson told TheWrap that the Glee companion series is merely "on hold. »

"This Time Together" Comes With An Asterisk

27 March 2013 2:29 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »

“From television city in Hollywood, it’s….”

The Carol Burnett Show (1967–78) was a comic variety show that went on for eleven years and 278 episodes. A comedy success if ever there was one. The following, however, is not a joke. The Carol Burnett Show: Carol’s Favorites (Regular, 2 DVD, 7 DVD Limited Edition, Collector’s Edition, or with Bonus Episodes), The Carol Burnett Show: Show Stoppers, The Carol Burnett Show: This Time Together (Regular or Collector’s Edition), The Carol Burnett Show: Volume 1-9 (Collector’s Edition), The Carol Burnett Show: Let’s Bump Up the Lights, Carol Burnett Show: The Ultimate Collection, and then there are the many, apparently arbitrarily combined collections of two nonsequential episodes (variously called “Volume [Arbitrary Ordinal Assignment]”. All available on Amazon for a variety of prices.  I’d like to point out that the so-called Ultimate Collection has about a fifth of the episodes. »
