Carol Burnett: 90 Years of Laughter + Love, attracted appearances from A-listers like Steve Carell, Bill Hader and Bob Odenkirk as well as a whopping 7.6 million eyeballs for NBC, which was higher than the viewership of any game in last year’s NBA Finals. She’s still got it — even if CBS doesn’t believe it.
“We first went to CBS, but they passed,” Burnett told Variety. “I did my show with them and all my specials, so naturally we went to them.” When CBS balked at the opportunity to print more money off of Burnett’s name, NBC jumped at the chance.While Burnett was celebrating her birthday with a televised attendance larger than the population of Arizona, CBS decided that the 644th episode of Survivor and a rerun of FBI was more worth their while.
Fucking CBS idiots.
BUT HERE'S A QUESTION FOR SUDDENLY BELOVED NBC NOW THAT I'VE BEEN SCREAMING ABOUT THIS FOR OVER A DECADE NOW: HOW HAS SHE STILL NEVER HOSTED SATURDAY NGHT LIVE?!?!?!?
