Sutton Foster & Carol Burnett: Musical comedy royalty

Nowadays we throw around the word “legend” way too often for celebrities who don’t deserve it. But Carol Burnett is a LEGEND!

I love Carol Burnett! Watching her each week was part of my formative years and I wouldn't want to change a thing. Thank you for sharing such an inspiring story about an American gem.

laughed hysterical ly watching when I was little Carol Princess😂😂

Carol Burnett is authentic, brilliant and just so damn talented. Sutton Foster, I feel the same about her. Much and continued success to them both. #Broadway #NYC #ActorsLife

We love you so much Carol Burnett!! ❤

The moment when Sutton Foster came on screen to sit next to Carol Burnett and their eye contact and admiration for one another made me cry for so many reasons. It felt like the passing down of a torch and a mission, the handing over flowers to an icon, and two very hardworking performers honoring themselves and the hard road they had to bear to meet and accomplish their goals. CBS Sunday Morning remains one of my favorite shows because of interviews and profiles like this one. And thank you for featuring and honoring two people that I've looked up to for a very long time.

I was smiling 😊 during this entire segment 😀❤🎉🎉 Carol Burnett looks excellent 👍🏼 for 91!!🎉❤

Patricia Lavin cast Ms. Burnett in her first role while she was a journalism major at UCLA, Howard Hughes saw the production & the rest is history. Ms Lavin also cast Ron Howard in his first role. Amazing how very talented & strong women influence our entertainment AND POLITICS!

And this is why I love CBS Sunday Morning! Two pros—Carol and Sutton

Carol Burnett is an American treasure ❤

Carol, you're an icon to so many of us. And Sutton is the perfect choice to walk the same path. Women supporting women. Everybody get on board. You can feel the power in this.

OMG....how good does Carol Burnett look?! Wow. She looks great!

There is nothing like live theatre. Nothing.

Sutton is adorable

This is my special show. I did costumes for high school production many years ago. I had already seen Ms Burnett do the show on tv and fell in love with it. Ms Foster truly is the perfect actor to play Winnifred. I wish I could see this new production but thrilled it has a new life on Broadway again.

What a treat to have Carol Bennett back in the spotlight! I grew up watching her show and love hearing her stories in these interviews. Love from Detroit, Carol 💛

I grew up watching Carol Burnette on television. I knew nothing about her Broadway career. This piece is very insightful and entertaining. Good luck to Sutton Foster!

Love Carol Brunette!

God, I love Carol Burnett. She is everything.

You know when you have Carol Burnett praising you like she did with Sutton during this interview, you’ve officially had your seal of approval.
