What happened to TV icon Carol Burnett?

Carol Burnett, a true icon of comedy, remains vibrant and active at the age of 91. Though it’s been decades since her groundbreaking The Carol Burnett Show first aired in 1967, she continues to receive recognition for her immense contributions to entertainment.

Despite her age, Burnett is in excellent health. Recent speculation about her well-being has surfaced, but there is no cause for concern. In fact, she’s taken on significant responsibilities in recent years. In 2020, she and her husband, Brian Miller, sought guardianship of her grandson due to concerns about her daughter’s ability to care for him. Burnett felt that her daughter, Erin, struggled with severe substance abuse and addiction issues throughout her adult life. She held the role of “educational rights holder” before a caseworker took over in 2021.

There have been rumors suggesting that Burnett suffered a stroke, but these claims lack validation. In her public appearances, she has demonstrated her sharp wit and vitality. She received an honorary award at the Golden Globes and made a guest appearance in the 2022 season of Better Call Saul.

In interviews, Burnett has expressed a positive outlook on aging. When discussing her 91st birthday, she joked about being grateful for her health, mentioning, “I have my hips and my knees — and I think my brain — so as long as I can keep that up and work, then I want to work.” She also humorously noted that she still feels like she’s “about 11” at heart, reflecting on how quickly time has passed.

Carol Burnett’s impact on comedy is indelible, and her ability to engage with audiences remains strong. Her resilience and dedication to her craft are admirable, and fans are delighted to see her continue to shine in her later years. We can look forward to more moments of joy from this beloved comedian as she carries on with her remarkable life and career.
