Here's the playbill article. Berandette played the maid with the mop and bucket. I bet she looked cute. :-)

How great that she was able to make it there despite the bad weather and the fact that she's in the midst of Gypsy--pretty remarkable.

And thank goodness they filmed it on a Sunday night and Gypsy is dark that night. Seems like it was meant to be.

She has always said that Carol Burnett was a big help to her career, so I'm sure BP wanted to make sure she was part of the event.
The Playbill article talks about Julie Andrews playing "Scarlett O'Hara." Carol Burnett's skit about Gone With the Wind and how she wore the curtain and curtain rods as her dress is still funny after all these years.

I always wondered how Bernadette felt about Carol Burnett. I assumed they were great friends. She had Bernadette on her show so many times! However, I have never heard Bernadette talk about it. Anyone got any more info?
You either got it, or you aint!

Thanx Jean!
I checked the clip but it seems they cut it down to put it in the archives because Bernadette isn't in it!
Thanx anyway though!

apparently bernadette got stuck in the train down to DC, they had to send a car up to get her in delaware, and she got like an hour before the show taped. so she didn't get to rehearse her number at all and supposedly messed up a little! oops! the last i heard they were going to potentially re-tape her part right after the show ended. poor bernadette  she was probably so tired to begin with and this was a lot of stress on her day off! what a trooper. i am sure she pulled it together and i can't wait to see it!

When Bernadette was a guest on Carol & Co. (I think that was the name, the one where she and Carol played the jingle writing team) in the early 90s, the Today Show did a behind-the-scenes segment on the show and interviewed the two of them together. Carol said that Bernadette was the first person they asked to be a guest on the original Carol Burnett show after seeing her in Dames at Sea. Bernadette said that after Dames she was kinda the 'in thing' or something like that but then she had a show that bombed [La Strada for any newbies out there] and nobody was hiring her, but that Carol was always there for her. Burnett then said something about careers going up and down but the talent fairy never leaving Bernadette.
Speaking of the Kennedy Center Honors. Does anyone else remember seeing Bernadette on the 1989 Kennedy Center Honors when she introduced and narrated the Mary Martin segment? It was one of the few times I thought she seemed kinda nervous.
