@@blythespirit4077 Hi Blythe, I might have met them . We rehearsed for 2 weeks . There were so many people involved. Writers, choreographers an directors . I know they were probably there but don't remember personally meeting them. All of Carol's support staff from the Carol Burnett show were there . I remember meeting Ken an Mitzi Welch. The writers . Everyone involved were amazing! We all had jobs to do. It felt like one big family. Where everyone respected each others talent . Looking back it was a lot of fun . I was a dancer plus we were in the comedy skits with Dolly an Carol. Dolly an Carol are so nice. How you see them on TV is how they are in real life . Down to earth real people. The other Carol Burnett special I did was Sills an Burnett at the Met. Then yrs later with Dolly in Nashville. It was a long time ago but happy to answer anyone's questions. If my memory doesn't fail me. Lol.

@@blythespirit4077 Hi Blythe,. Not sure if you got my reply to your question. Currently I live on in Las Vegas. Spend the summer at the lake in Wisconsin. When I did Dolly an Carol I lived in NYC. Some of the dancers were from Los Angeles the rest from NYC . Forgot the name of the hotel we stayed at. But it was really nice. The grand ole opry hotel?

Just found out this info: "Dolly and Carol in Nashville, a CBS television special from Feb. 14, 1979, teamed Dolly Parton with comedian Carol Burnett for a night of knee-slappers and country music. The crossover moment was filmed at the Grand Ole Opry and featured more than just the comedic stylings of The Carol Burnett Show and the familiar hits of a mainstream country star."
My wife and I were just yesterday watching an episode of The Carol Burnett Show from March of 78 and the audience asked her if there was anyone she wanted to collaborate with to do a special and she said she was trying to get in touch with Dolly and here they are less than a year later! It was better than we could have imagined! The crazy thing is we came upon this video at random from the CZcams algorithm.
There are these singing and talent shows on TV, but they're not fun (for me anyway) to watch, cuz there's generally no instrumental music and the vocals sound the same (to me) from singer to singer
I agree. Today is absolutely nothing but reality. Why would I want 💯 reality when I'm looking at tv for a break from reality. Do I really care who makes the world's best cupcake in 3 minutes?
Carol's co-star Vicki Lawrence and Dolly played dueling grannies on the Hannah Montana show for a few seasons. Their rivalry over who was more important to Miley (and Elvis) made some great scripts.
Dolly can do anything,, she sings like a songbird she can act ,,as well as any female actress out there but shes so down to earth ,, God Bless Her ❤❤🎶🎵🎶👠📿💅💄💋💃💃💃
Carol Burnett is a comic genius who is one of the few to share the same stage as Dolly Parton and not be completely upstaged (Dolly never tries to do that, it's just her natural star power). During this same era, she also appeared with opera superstar Beverly Sills as well. She can truly put herself in any situation and make it funny.
I bet it's more like they specifically invited a LOT of professionals to attend and specifically asked those invitees to bring instruments and join in. After all if you're playing Nashville why not take advantage of all that available talent? Sure made for a good show.
That little boy is all grown up now, with a family of his own. Sang and played for many years with his mother's family. The Lewis family, look them up, be a nice suprise.

@@byronp2311 yeah the first few Eunice skits I saw back in the day I even assumed the setting was in Texas just because of the accent. I had a West Texas mama and an East Texas daddy ( 2 different accents) and I grew up on the South Texas border (yet another accent). In Austin where I live now all roads converge so you can hear every dialect and regional speech.

I used to watch her show as a kid in the 80s
GOOD time to be alive 👍🏽🇺🇸🦅💪🏽
This iS🌈WONDErFUL.
For 8 minutes and 9 seconds I forgot about everything else going on. That was entertainment.
Exactly. And it's pretty dire out there. This speaks to the quality of the entertainers!
Didn't even realize it was that long at first!
Yes, pure entertainment!
Same.
Damn what a show. Please let me find this again
I loved Carol as a comedian and Dolly as a singer but together, they are wonderful together!
Carol canning😆😂
Loops carol can sang😬😬😇
Damn...can sang😄
Rhonda Boncutter, you could even reverse those occupations - Dolly is funny as hell in her performances and interviews, and Carol sang on Broadway.
And Carol always claimed she couldn't sing. To that, I say "HA!"
My Mom and I were in the audience for the taping of this show! This takes me back!

How are you doing today?
Carol Bennett is a genius because she put a little of the character of Eunice Harper Higgins in that skit.
Wow that little boy could play. What a clip from the past
Hi Carol hope you’re okay?
I think my soul belongs to another's time.
Dolly and Carol? Now there's a combination I never expected to see.

It's sad to know, no one will ever live like this again.
The two most charming women on the planet. ❤️❤️❤️
Carol is amazingly talented. Never intimidated by anyone.... even Dolly!
Carol even looked kind of hot
Oh my gosh. Another fantastic throw back. This is really great.

Takes me back to when Sunday night TV was just truly entertaining. Great stuff!
