They are two of America’s most beloved comic actresses. And Carol Burnett and Jennifer Aniston proved the dream team as they united to present at Sunday’s Golden Globes. The pair were on stage to introduce the nominees for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy.However it was the double act between the pair that impressed, as they jostled for space and teased one another. Jennifer, 48, who had skipped the red carpet, told Carol: ‘Wow. On a night when so many people, all of their dreams will come true tonight, So has mine, because I get to present with my idol, the amazing Carol Burnett.’ Deadpan, Carol, 84, replied: ‘Thank you sweetheart, thank you. That’s so sweet. And you, know, i’m happy that you’re coming back to television because Will And Grace was one of my favorite shows.’ As the room erupted in laughter, Friends star Jennifer pretended not to get the joke, so Carol added quickly: ‘I’m just kidding.’
During her years presenting her long-running TV variety show, The Carol Burnett Show, the actress always signed off with a slight tug of her left ear – a secret family signal to her grandmother, who raised her. Jennifer asked Carol if she could touch the famous ear. ‘Kinky!’ Burnett joked after the display, asking the actress: ‘Was it everything you dreamed it would be?’ Replied Jennifer: ‘It was everything, everything, thank you.’ ‘As I said, she’s kinky!’ Burnett said.
