The Only 2 Main Cast Members Still Alive From The Carol Burnett Show
One reason why “The Carol Burnett Show” was exceptional is that its cast was primarily seasoned comedy professionals, with the exception of one main actor who joined when he was under 30. This wealth of experience was evident from the start, as the cast demonstrated a high level of skill and comfort in their abilities right off the bat. However, this also meant that, unlike “Saturday Night Live” which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2024 with several original cast members still active, many of “The Carol Burnett Show’s” cast members had passed away by the time it reached its 50th birthday in 2017. As of now, only two of the main cast members are still alive.
