Hey guys, Willie Geist here with another episode of the Sunday Sit Down podcast.

My thanks as always for clicking and listening along.

I sincerely could not be more thrilled to bringing my conversation this week with an honest

to goodness American icon.

She is Carol Burnett. Carol Burnett. Unbelievable.

Got a chance to spend some time with her in New York City. She's in town talking about her new series

Palm Royale on Apple TV Plus in which she plays the matriarch of Palm Beach Society in

1969.

A big, beautiful, colorful show, a dark comedy.

It's funny, but it's devious and ugly in other ways, the way these women and men

behave themselves in this society.

She'll tell you, so I'm not giving too much away,

but she starts the series in a coma, does Carol's character named Norma. Series stars Kristen

Wig, Alison Janney is in it, Laura Dern, Ricky Martin is really good in it. It's a great show.

Apple TV Plus, if you want to check it out. But Carol and I got together in New York

just up the street from a place, well, that used to be there called the Rehearsal Club,

where she arrived from Hollywood, where she grew up in New York City in 1954, 70 years ago.

She arrived and stayed at this club. She'll tell you all about it. It's a place where

young women who wanted to work in theater or were working in theater lived together, kind of

communally, on 54th Street in New York City. And we were just up the block from there, which was so

cool. We start talking here about Wordle.

I hope you play the Wordle.
