In Such Good Company: Eleven Years of Laughter, Mayhem, and Fun in the Sandbox
Description
In this New York Times bestseller, comedy legend Carol Burnett tells the
hilarious behind-the-scenes story of her iconic weekly variety series, The
Carol Burnett Show. In In Such Good Company, Carol Burnett pulls back the
curtain on the twenty-five-time Emmy-Award winning show that made television
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 tales too good not to
relive again. While writing this book, Carol rewatched all 276 episodes and
screen-grabbed 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 costars 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, Roddy Mcdowell, Jim Nabors, Bernadette
Peters, Betty Grable, Steve Lawrence, Eydie Gorme, Gloria Swanson, Rita
Hayworth, and Betty White; and gives 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.” Read more
