In Such Good Company

In Such Good Company by Carol Burnett  320 pp.

Carol Burnett penned this history of "The Carol Burnett Show" from it's beginnings to it's end eleven years later and beyond. There is plenty of television history plus anecdotes from the making of the show. Included are Burnett's comments on her favorite guest stars and tales of the antics that took place on and off the stage. This is one of those books like As You Wish, that you really should listen too rather than read. While Carol Burnett's narration of her own words is a bit uneven, there are recordings of interviews of herself and her famous co-stars from the long running variety show. If you ever found yourself laughing uncontrollable at the performances of Carol, Harvey Korman, Tim Conway, Vicki Lawrence, Lyle Wagoner and their guests, you will enjoy this book. It is available on Overdrive as a downloadable audio book.
