by

Carol and Sis have reunited.

Comedy legends Carol Burnett and Vicki Lawrence, who worked together on The Carol Burnett Show from 1967 to 1978, recently took a selfie after a dinner prepared by Carol’s husband, Brian Miller.

Vicki, 77, shared a sweet moment on Instagram on May 18th, posting about a dinner with her friend Carol. She thanked Brian for the delicious meal and said they shared lots of laughs and reminisced about old times, adding, “I love her so…”

Carol and Vicki both smiled for the camera. Carol wore large sunglasses, a burgundy jacket, and a grey turtleneck sweater. Vicki was dressed in a blue velvet jacket decorated with gold details.

People were thrilled to see the two actresses, who played sisters on screen, remaining friends and enjoying each other’s company. One fan simply wrote, “Two of the funniest women ever.”

One fan expressed overwhelming love for the comedic pair and their bond, saying they were beyond words. Another fan pleaded with them to create a video podcast sharing their memories together.

This recent dinner wasn’t Carol’s only celebration. The actress, known for her role in Noises Off, turned 93 on April 26th and celebrated with a special outing in Montecito, California. She was accompanied by her husband of 25 years, Brian, who is 70.

You know, I’ve always admired this comedy icon, and I recently read her take on staying active as she gets older. She told TopMob News in 2024 that it’s really about appreciating just being here, and being thankful you still have your health and mind. It’s such a simple, but powerful, perspective!

Having close, lifelong friends like Vicki makes life better. They first connected in the mid-1960s when Vicki, then 17, wrote a fan letter to Carol, inviting her to a local contest. Carol happily accepted and, after meeting Vicki, immediately offered her a spot on The Carol Burnett Show.

Ever since then, they’ve been incredibly close, although the Mama’s Family actress confessed she used to admire Carol a lot when they first became friends.

In a 2023 interview with KCRW, she recalled being very young compared to her colleagues. They were established adults with families and full lives, enjoying things like double dates and vacations. She felt like an inexperienced newcomer performing comedy on a national stage, and it took years before she felt comfortable and confident in her career.

Schumer was surprised when Lawrence accepted, but quickly realized Lawrence was incredibly down-to-earth. As Schumer said on The Daily Show, Lawrence is ‘the coolest person you’ll ever meet’ and ‘felt like one of the group.’

I’ve been watching Amy Poehler and Tina Fey’s incredible friendship ever since they met in an improv class way back in 1993, and honestly, it’s the stuff of legends! They’re so close, they genuinely feel like family to each other. Amy actually told PopSugar while they were promoting their movie Sisters in 2015 that she and Tina are like ‘chosen sisters.’ She doesn’t have a sister herself – just a younger brother named Greg – and she said getting to experience that kind of bond with Tina has been amazing, like getting the sisterhood she always wanted.

And get this – the very next day, they went to the mall together! Seriously, can you imagine? They bonded over sweaters at Casual Corner, and that was it! A lifelong friendship was born! It’s just…everything!

While your dates probably don’t involve Wimbledon finals or royal palaces, Meghan Markle and a certain tennis champion actually connected in a very relatable way.
