00:00Ladies and gentlemen, Carol Burnett.
00:15Oh, this is... Thank you. Well, this is quite a trip. I grew up just a few blocks from here,
00:32Yucca and Wilcox. It was a block north of Hollywood Boulevard. And when I was a little
00:40girl, I can't begin to count the times that my grandmother and I would walk up here to the
00:48Grauman's Chinese. That's what it was called then. And look at all the footprints and handprints
00:56of all these great movie stars. And Betty Grable was one of my favorites. And I remember
01:04bending down and putting my hands on her handprints, never dreaming that someday I'd
01:15be putting my hands here 80 years later. Well, I want to thank all of you. Oh my gosh.
01:34My family and both old friends and new friends for coming here this morning to help me celebrate.
01:40And I also want to thank the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and, of course, the TCL Chinese Theater.
01:49I remember also my grandmother and I, when we could afford it, we were poor, but we would
01:56occasionally come here to the Chinese. It was first run, so it was more expensive than the
02:01second run theaters. But we'd come in, we'd see a Betty Grable movie. And then before we'd leave,
02:09my grandmother said, well, let's hit the ladies room. So we would go in there and
02:15steal all the toilet paper. And she'd say, well, we'll be set for another month.
02:23And I also want to thank my Apple TV Plus family for its unwavering support. And oh my gosh,
02:32for hosting this incredible event. Jimmy Kimmel, it means the world to me that you were here for
02:39me today. I can't thank you enough. I am so touched. You're the best. A few short years ago,
02:49it was my very good luck to work with Vince Gilligan, Peter Gould, and a great crew.
03:00My favorite television series, Better Call Saul. And the minute I met him, Bob Odenkirk,
03:09I fell in love with you. Yeah. And I had the time of my life working with you. And I had the
03:17time of my life working with you. And I'm so grateful that you're here today. Thank you,
03:22darling, so much. I love you all. And lately, I've been fortunate enough to have been cast in
03:30Palm Royale, created by Ava Silvia. And I've been blessed with making a couple of new
03:39friends, Kristen Wiig, and my darling, Allison Janney. Allison and I, as a result now,
03:48we wordle every morning. Did you get it today? I haven't done it yet today. We'll do it.
03:58And if it wasn't for Laura Dern and her partner, Jamie Lemons, this morning's event wouldn't have
04:05happened. You guys made it happen. And I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
04:14And you know, if my grandmother is somehow floating around here today,
04:20I know she is as amazed and thrilled as I am. And I thank you. Thank you all so very much. I love you.
