Play It For Laughs

Harvey Korman holds Carol Burnett's face during a routine on 'The Carol Burnett Show' in 1967
Your favorite moment might have been Carol Burnett as Scarlett O’Hara with a curtain rod sticking out of her drapery-made gown... Or her turn as the working class, Eunice, who exchanged hilarious barbs with her momma... And that trademark Tarzan yell still reverberates across TV history.

The incredibly popular, “Carol Burnett Show,” is the source of many memories shared in “This Time Together: Laughter and Reflection.”
Audio: BBC, PRI & WBUR's Here & Now 4/9/10, Host: Robin Young... Also, read about a hilarious encounter with Jimmy Stewart in an excerpt from the book.

Rebuilding a Band of Brothers

Geoff Edgers had an unusual midlife crisis. Approaching age 40 he went on a mission to reunite the favorite band of his youth, The Kinks. Problem is: the band’s two founding brothers, Ray and Dave Davies, haven’t spoken to each other in years. Undeterred, Edgers set off on a quixotic quest to bring the brothers together and documents his effort in a film called, “Do It Again.”
