CAROL BURNETTE!!! Growing up, I watched her comedy show with Tim, Harvey & Vicki religiously. She was one of THE BEST things about my childhood and I adore her. Meeting her is on my crazy life to-do list and how I would *LOVE* to cross that one off! My friends tease me about that list all the time, but hey-dream big, live big! Here’s hoping! *fingers crossed*

Carol Burnett!!!(Sorry Betty)
Carol’s humour has always be a huge part of my life.For example,in 1991 it was my last day at work at this “oh-so-posh” ladies wear store at West Edmonton Mall and I wanted to leave a lasting impression with the owner of the store.So I dressed as a spazzy/mop woman wearing rubber boots,pink fuzzy earmuffs,fanny pouch,long coat and began to dry mop the carpet area of the store.Yes,I do have a picture or two of my sexy self that day.When he first walked into the store I made sure to keep my back to him and kept mopping into him.Carol,you create comedy everywhere!! THANK YOU!
Betty or Carol would be a dream come true!!

Um. How to choose?! Margaret Cho, I think!!
A really tough choice! Betty White for the win!
I’d love to see them all. Carol Brunette…I watched her almost everyday after school. But I’d go see Margaret Cho. I like her stand up, how it’s got a political, and social edge. Plus I’d like to see how her stuff has changed over the years. Tough choice overall…2 legends and one great young one!
Betty White of course.
Cho fo sho!

Betty White would be amazing to see in person!
I would very much love to meet Carol. Been a huge fan of her for as long as I can remember.
I like the entire trio … but wiggly-eared Carol is my favourite. She is an icon of comedy. To be in the same space as this person who is considered the royalty of entertainment would be an honour.
Carol!!!
Carol!
Although I loved the Carol Burnett show more than the Golden Girls, I think Betty has made herself more relevant today. Betty all the way!
Betty White, hands down.
