When I was a kid I used to watch the Carol Burnett show just about every week. I thought Vickie Lawrence was just a little bit sexy (even though I didn't fully comprehend what that meant) and I'd hurt myself laughing at the stupid stuff between Tim Conway and Harvey Korman.
So last night I watched her 50th anniversary show. The clips were great and some of that was just as funny now as I remember that being then. The "banter" in between the clips was pretty painful, though.
There was one thing that I just couldn't get over, though. Bernadette Peters.
She's almost 70 years old (born in '48). She's never been what you'd call super hot, but there was always something about her.
She comes out there last night and while her face showed a little wear, she looked awesome from the chin down. No lines on her neck. Her shoulders and cleavage were smooth, in place and damned spectacular for somebody old enough to be my mom. If the rest of her is as put together as the parts I could see, I'd take a shot of it.
I pissed several people off making them stop the thing and freeze the frame to let me marvel at how she looked below the face.
Of course on the flip side, Amy Poehler looked like shit.
