Carol Burnett, Julie Andrews on Dallas: ‘We Mean it With No Malice, But the Rest of Texas Is a Mess’

|

In the sharp NY Times article Cristina links to below, mention is made of a Julie Andrews and Carol Burnett skit about Dallas:

The wives of these men — socialites and homemakers, Junior Leaguers and ex-debutantes — were no different; in fact, they were possibly even more extreme. (After all, there’s a reason Carol Burnett pulls a gun on Julie Andrews at the end of the famous “Big D” routine the two performed before the assassination in the early 1960s. “What are ya,” she screams, pulling the trigger, “some kinda nut?!”)

I’d never heard of the skit, so I looked for it, found it, and now share it. I also submit it as evidence of why my Brooklyn grandmother could never quite wrap her mind around the fact that I moved here.
