The profile notes that Burnett is a beacon for the show’s alumni, who’ve often thanked her for her trailblazing career and credited her success with their own. For instance, Amy Poehler declared that she “owes everything to” Burnett when the SNL alum presented her with a lifetime achievement award from Variety’s Power of Women event last year.
But throughout the show’s 50-year history, Burnett said has never received an invite to host, despite the fact that The Carol Burnett Show had already blazed a trail for sketch comedy on American television when SNL premiered in 1975.
There seems to be something more there than accidental overlook, as reports say the show boss has repeatedly used the phrase “too Carol Burnett” to criticize what he didn’t want on in SNL. Her named became “shorthand” for everything the show was trying to avoid, according to original writers like Al Franken and Buck Henry."But Xmastime", you say in the voice of Craig “Ironhead” Heyward from those soap commercials (RIP),"after first pointing this out all the way back in 2010, didn't you put this issue to bed years ago with your uncanny mix of brilliance and high-browed sexuality?"
Sigh. You're goddam I did, faithful readers, YOU'RE GODDAM RIGHT I did:
And don't give me that "Lorne hated how they cracked up on her show" shit, he didn't seem to mind when Jimmy Fallon was doing it every fucking sketch & while I know it seems like Fallon was just there, he started on the show before it even hit its halfway point so I mean come the fuck on already with that bullshit? 😡😡😡😡
