"In 'In Such Good Company', Carol pulls back the curtain on the twenty five-time Emmy Award-winning show that made entertainment history, and she reminisces about the outrageously funny and tender moments that made working on the series as much fun as watching it. Carol delves into little-known stories of the guests, sketches, and improvisations that made The Carol Burnett Show legendary, as well as some favorite stories too good not to relive again. While writing this book, Carol re-watched all 276 episodes and screen-grabbbed her favorite video stills from the archives to illustrate the chemistry of the actors and the improvisational magic that made the show so successful. Putting the spotlight on everyone from her co-stars to the impressive list of guest stars, Carol crafts a lively portrait of the talent and creativity that went into every episode. With characteristic wit and incomparable comic timing, she details hiring Harvey Korman, Vicki Lawrence, Lyle Waggoner, and Tim Conway; shares anecdotes about guest stars and close friends, including Lucille Ball, Alan Alda, Bernadette Peters, Sammy Davis Jr., Rita Hayworth, and Betty White; and gives us her take on her favorite sketches and the unpredictable moments that took both the cast and viewers by surprise. This book is Carol's love letter to a golden era in television history through the lens of her brilliant show. Get the best seat in the house for "eleven years of laughter, mayhem, and fun in the sandbox." - from the front and rear jacket flaps. Seller Inventory # 002667
