Madeline Kahn Monday: Madeline and Carol Burnett Are Friends -The Toast

“And then I was so thrilled that she was thrilled, that I wrote her back, telling her how thrilled I was that she wrote me back.”

(Don’t worry, they’re both wearing jumpsuits.)

My sister wrote Carol Burnett a fan letter when she was about 7 or 8, and got a long, handwritten (like, two pages!) reply. Carol Burnett rules.

Oh this was so perfect!

All I could think about the jumpsuits was that Madeline Kahn's jumpsuit must have been SO long to hide the eight inch platform heels she must've been wearing to put her that close to eye level with Carol Burnett since Carol was ALSO wearing huge heels...

All I could think was that if I felt better about my butt, I would wear the hell out of Carol's black jumpsuit/fabulous shrug combination.

We are so blessed by all the jumpsuits that have ever appeared on The Carol Burnett Show. Have you all seen the episodes with Maggie Smith where the jumpsuits are SPARKLY?? I fell out of my chair and died of happiness on the ground the first time I saw that one.
