Carol Burnett at 90: On loving Lucy, pioneering variety, and Better Call Saul

The Business host Kim Masters speaks to legendary actress, singer, writer, and comedian Carol Burnett about her sprawling career in entertainment, and her close relationship with friend and mentor Lucille Ball.

Burnett also talks about how she created her long running CBS variety show, and her experience working with Better Call Saul creator Vince Gilligan.

“It was one of the greatest experiences I’ve ever had, doing a show other than my own show,” Burnett says. “They were so… well-oiled because most of the crew had done Breaking Bad, so they knew what they were doing, and they were family. I just loved working with Vince [Gilligan] and Peter Gould.”
