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

My thanks is 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. 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 Royal 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 given too much away,

does Carol's character named Norma.

Series stars Kristen Whig,

Allison 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 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.
