try the audiobook submitted by camelsamba on July 20, 2017, 9:38pm Although i remember watching and enjoying the show (maybe in syndication?), I am probably not the target audience for this. I don't really follow actors and actresses and don't seek out gossip column tales of their exploits. However, I listened to this as an audiobook via overdrive (see ebooks & eaudio in the catalog) and liked it. I do think it benefited from being read by Carol Burnett herself; to be honest, I probably wouldn't have finished it if I'd been reading the print edition. I mostly enjoyed it, but it did get tiresome after awhile. Huge sections of it were devoted to retelling particular sketches done with other famous actors. I might have enjoyed it more if I'd listened in smaller chunks. Another benefit of the audiobook is segments which were interviews with other actors (e.g. Harvey Korman, Tim Conway, Vicki Lawrence) - much more enjoyable than reading would have been.
