This Time Together

Praise

“These short memories, of the people Burnett met and interviewed over the years, on- and off-camera, bring it back — the golden age of variety shows….Burnett has a writer’s eye for the moment, the detail, the slip that reveals character. She’s never mean and always grateful.”
—Los Angeles Times

“Carol was a huge star on television because she was funny, daring, and always genuine.  We loved Carol because we felt we knew her. With this book, we do.  She trusts us with her personal anecdotes, happy, sad, hilarious and poignant. Thank you Carol. “
—Billy Crystal
 
“I read This Time Together in one sitting and when I finished I felt like Carol had been sitting beside me telling me these wonderful stories of her life. It’s funny, it’s endearing and very moving. I cannot recommend it highly enough.”
—Julie Andrews
 
“I grew up watching Carol Burnett. She’s an amazing actress, talented writer and legendary comedienne.  She inspired me to do what I’m doing today. And believe me, if I knew how to read, I would definitely read this book.”
—Ellen DeGeneres
 
” I love this book because it’s written the way she talks–nothing stilted, nothing distanced. You’ll read it in one gulp (I did) and then you’ll read it again. She’s an excellent writer–so spot-on intelligent and hilarious.
—Hal Prince
 
“Reading Carol Burnett’s book, This Time Together, makes me realize that every American family prays that they can have someone as lovely as Carol as their next door neighbor.”
—Tony Bennett
