Carol Burnett Shares Life Lessons On 90th Birthday

One legendary and beloved entertainer shared some words of wisdom which everyone can easily apply to their lives.

Carol Burnett has been entertaining people for decades. She has brought laughter into the homes of many with her trademark wit and one-of-a-kind comedic talents. Her humor and grace have served her well throughout her long career. 

On her 90th birthday, during an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, the comedian took some questions from the studio audience. Instead of hoping to learn more about Carol’s career or The Carol Burnett Show, one female audience member wanted Carol’s best advice for life.

“In the 90 years that you’ve been on this planet, what would you say is the most important thing you’ve learned?” one audience member asked Carol.

Carol quickly answered as one might expect, using humor.

“Do you have about 40 hours?” Carol said.

This response caused several members of the audience to chuckle. But then, after a few moments, after the laughter died down, Carol gave an answer that does make a lot of sense, coming from a comedian.

“Not to take yourself too seriously,” Carol stated.

What terrific advice! 

How much better would this world be if people did not get so upset and worked up about every little perceived slight? Not every situation is a life-and-death matter. People need to relearn how to take a joke, especially when it comes at their expense. 

Also, as Carol answered other questions from the audience, we learned that she has a thing for one of the biggest names in Hollywood: George Clooney. How Carol revealed her crush on “The Ides of March” star caused Kelly to double over in laughter. 

In the clip, Carol also revealed where and how she developed her famous Tarzan yell.

Proverbs 1:5 “A wise man will hear and will increase learning; a man of understanding shall attain to wise counsels.”
