Listen Again: Julia Gets Wise with Carol Burnett

In honor of Carol Burnett’s 92nd birthday later this month, we wanted to re-share the heartwarming conversation she and Julia had back in season one.

 

On the season one finale of Wiser Than Me, Julia sits down in person with 90-year-old groundbreaking actress, comedian, and writer Carol Burnett. Carol tells Julia how she learned to accept rejection, what Lucille Ball taught her about being a boss, and how a spontaneous ride on a beer truck led to her landing a CBS special with her dear friend Julie Andrews. And Carol gives Julia a compliment that makes Julia cry, which leads to a touching conversation between Julia and her mom Judith.
