Carol Burnett Show

Carol Burnett Show, The two comediennes and actresses had what appeared to be an awkward encounter on a recent episode of Rivers’ WE tv reality show “Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best.”

In the scene, Rivers, 78, approaches Burnett, 78, in a restaurant, where she is dining with a male companion. Burnett tells her: “You’ve done something,” referring to her frequent plastic surgery procedures, to which Rivers replies: “A little, yes. New chin, new nose. Cheekbones.”

She then asks Burnett if she could appear at a fundraiser her daughter Melissa is organizing for her son Cooper’s school.

“I really can’t, Joan,” Burnett says.

“I didn’t give you the date,” Rivers replies. “It’s Memorial Day Weekend.”

“Oh, I’m sorry, I’m busy all of May,” Burnett says.

Rivers tells her she feels “an animosity” from her.

“What is it?” she asks.

“Hawaii,” Burnett says as she slaps her napkin down on the table and prepares to walk away. “Hawaii!”

According to WE tv, Rivers once “ruined a family trip” Burnett had in Hawaii and the comedienne has never forgiven her for it. Spokespeople for the two had no immediate comment about the issue.

Rivers Tweeted: “I LOVE Carol Burnett!!! #JKB”

It is unclear if the scene was scripted, as many reality shows are. The episode, which aired on February 28, marked the first time the two have been on screen together since Rivers appeared on Burnett’s sketch comedy series, “The Carol Burnett Show,” for the third time in 1975.

Carol Burnett, Comedic legend Carol Burnett is apparently withholding forgiveness from fellow actress Joan Rivers. Burnett was featured in the latest episode of “Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best?” and had a tiff with the elder Rivers.

In what was surely a scripted, perfectly timed scene, Rivers approaches Burnett out of the blue in a restaurant. What are the odds of them dining at the same place at the same time?

As the two exchange tense greetings, Burnett immediately sings, “you’ve done something” while pointing a knowing finger at Rivers. “New chin, new nose, new cheekbones,” Rivers replies. “Then you’ve done a lot of something,” quips Burnett.

The reason for the chat is that Rivers needs a celebrity to make an appearance at grandson Cooper’s school as part of a charity event. She explains that it is during Memorial Day weekend, which shouldn’t be much of an inconvenience.

One can see a look come over Burnett’s face as she explains, “I really can’t. I’m sorry.”
