Rachael knows it's a biggie when the audience gives a standing ovation to this comedic Mystery Taster who is the winner of 5 Golden Globes and 5 Emmys. Rachael asks if it's a man or a woman, if it's an East or West coaster, but gets her best clue when she asks who this person would thank during an awards ceremony. "Oh that's really giving it away ... I would thank my cast members Vicki, Harvey, Tim," the star reveals as Rachael realizes who is hiding on her set. "No it isn't! Is it Carol Burnett?"

It sure is, and Rachael could not be more excited! "I am of course a huge fan. Thank you for all of the years of just fantastic entertainment." The Carol Burnett Show ran for 11 years, including that gut-busting spoof of Gone With the Wind with Carol playing Scarlett O'Hara in a gown made from a curtain. Carol says that look came from their costume designer Bob Mackie. "He said, 'You know I have an idea about when you come down the stairs," she explains, "and he took me in the room and there was the curtain rod. I fell on the floor. I mean -- genius."

Carol's in regular contact with her former cast mates and is also getting in with a new crop of top comedians, working with Steve Carell and Jim Carrey on the animated flick Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who. "I am so thrilled to be a part of this film," Carol says. "I took my grandkids to the premiere last week ... the 11-year-old was like 'oh grandma' [so] now I'm cool.'"

Carol is now trying to promote the arts to a new generation with a project at The Pasadena Playhouse that is a tribute to her late daughter, Carrie Hamilton. "They have a little balcony theater there and they wanted to name it after my daughter and I said, 'Oh my God what a legacy,'" Carol says. "They want to make it into a theater that will work with kids at risk and encourage young people to write and to direct and to act ... a friend of mine who is a wonderful architect is going to redesign this little theater [for] free - Frank Gehry. It's pretty wild."
