Carol Burnett Blooper

[PinkCarnationProDux]

Is the curtain supposed to be funny and getting in the way? Or...is it just getting in the way?

[hardlines4]

Carol was great, the idiot jumping can go!

[Jewelrylover111]

OMG that was hilarious!

[LMmccallL57]

Absolutely hilarious! I love Carol!

[earlthethird]

Wow, even after so many years in the business, Carol Burnett never stops being funny. This was another great CB blooper!

[Smalltowngal29]

Carol is hilarious in a classy way. John isn't.

[ChefLawrenceLV]

Ii never crossed my mind that John B. was trying to be a jerk or anything.. I just thought that he really found the whole thing really funny

[VamLoveAndKisses]

Oh come on people! Stop bitching about John Barrowman! He wasn't being an arse or an attention hog. He is extremely energetic in real life and when he finds something funny, he damn well finds something funny. It's not a crime. And when Carol walked off the stage to sort the problem out he was simply trying to amuse the audience and take the rather embarrassing attention off Carol. Besides, it's his reaction that makes this so ridiculously funny.

[ClarkKent1984]

how O.T.T and arrogant was John Barrowman? I've never liked him, he's not even American! Such a fake man.

[skyrose08]

If I were to lose my skirt on stage, I would want John Barrowman to get the audience to focus their attention on him instead of me. Chances are that his intention wasn't to take the spotlight, he just thought it was extremely funny.

[thezaylady]

She has fabulous legs!

[ClassicsWEREandARE]

that gut was a little over dramatic on the jumping

[sevendram]

John Barrowman is an ass obviously. Was the show about him? As soon as Carol showed the problem, he had to take attention away from her. What an attention whore.......

[rickysison530]

I love You Ms. Burnett!!!!!!!!!!!

[Scottiepoo5612]

Another reason I LOVE Carol Burnette!!!

[7855waldo]

Contrived and stupid; beneath her.

[steelyeyedman]

John B. has such a HUGE ego......he made the blooper more about him than Carol. Tried to steal the focus ........cute guy, great singer.......but ugh!....pity the one that has to live around that ego!

[ACgurrrl]

@steelyeyedman

Is that the guy in red? Because he was kinda hamming it.

[invasionsend]

Barrowman's reaction was way over the top. Thought he looked and sounded like a fool. It was funny, but his reaction was disturbing.

[flugel76]

That's actually classic John Barrowman. Like it or not, that's a typical reaction to that sort of thing from him :P

[JCStrickland]

the jumper is john barrowman. hes histerical in this clip

[frankinstoon]

Please do try to keep up with who is on the top billing in the Theatre!!!!

[JCStrickland]

can someone tell me who mr. duct-taped butt is?

[TheWarDog11]

This is CLASSIC. GREAT stuff!!!

[MrQtr4ever]

She is berficet in every thing.. thank you carol :)

[OceanFae]

SO GREAT!!!

[MoeGreensRightEye]

That was one annoying dude.

[dhenzhille]

this guy looks good but i think his gay???

[XenaLin]

He's actually bisexual, but living as a partner with a guy.

[bratlinjenn]

John Barrowman is gay, his character on Torchwood is bisexual

[irishballetdancer]

That is John Barrowman!  Lucky guy

[brandnewyork48]

john barrowman? yep, he's gay.

[Tensen01]

Anyone who's seen Barrowman outside of Who and Torchwood you'll know he is Extremely Campy!! He wasn't being a jerk, he legitimately thought it was hilarious.

[invasionsend]

He may have, but he was still obnoxious in his ridiculous antics.

[wildberrybella]

@Tensen01 I agree with you. I have seen Barrowman at cons and such and he is genuinely a great guy, and he is just SO easily amused. So for those who don't know anything about JB, back out! Tensen01 is right. John is very flamboyant and one of the most easily amused people that I have ever seen. He isn't trying to be a jerk and he isn't trying to make it about him. He is just honestly that easily amused!

[hardlines4]

Carol you are great....the JERK next to you needs to go!!!

[BetteDavisMimic]

His name is John Barrowman and he's HUGE in the UK ......has starred in Dr Who and Torchwood.....also the reality show Any dream will do and ...Maria......so i doubt he gives a flying fig that you think he's "hamming" it up.......maybe he just thought like alot of us that it was HYSTERICAL!!!

[PatrickLHawkins]

god give the guy a break

[velvetsnape]

I thought it was kinda funny. He wasn't that bad.

[salesnytheater]

he's like tom cruise jumping

[TurtleSloth]

Carol Burnett didn't end the act because of the very enthusiastic John. Her skirt was falling off... duh. Carol is nothing but class all the way.

[DPhily]

Carol Burnett is one of my all times favorite comedians .... I don't know John, but my impression (and I could be wrong) but my impression as I watched him, is that Carol stole the show, and he had to do her one better, over acting and just looked like a total ham.

[aaronbrakefield]

yeah that guy acted like a total ass. your exactly right. he had to do her one up. what a tool

[khtx]

Wo what is the problem of the guy jumping up and down. Is he on drugs? Acting like Tom Cruise. How embarassing

[phdrainbow]

You need to see more of him - John Barrowman has to be one of the best entertainers around these days.

[khtx]

ok. maybe he had just a bad day?

[harwetopa]

That was actor/singer John Barrowman, currently starring in the BBC sci-fi show Torchwood...and who knows why he reacted like that? Different responses by different people, I suppose.

[aaronbrakefield]

i agree with khtx. that guy, no matter how funny or talented he may be, acted like a total ass after her skirt fell. it was hilarious and then i couldnt stop watching him overreact and it pissed me off. he had to have all the attention, like a high school girl or something.

[khtx]

:O)

[DPhily]

I had the same reaction as you did, sort of. After watching it once, I could only watch up until he started acted stupid, I felt embarrassed for him. So over exaggerated. In fact, he interrupted a very funny moment.

[livelimitlessly]

Who is the quack who threw himself on the floor and slapped the stage in glee?? (rhetorical question) What a spaz!

[boneym22]

John Barrowman is a first class twat no one likes him.

[TheReturnOfStephan]

He kinda ruined the moment for me, too, as if he were trying to steal a little attention for himself. That may not have been the case, but, that's how it looks to me.

The other performers let Carol have the moment, assisting only when called upon.

He, on the other hand, just tried to shoehorn himself into it.

[beatlequeen06]

ROTFLMMFAO! Carol is way too funny! "I felt the skirt getting longer..."

[BGPOND30]

Caro Burnett was and will always be the best comedian along with Lucy to ever hit the stage, you know her and Lucy was the best of friends Lucy sent her flowers every year for her birthday strangest thing was Lucy died on carols birth day later that same day carol got flowers from Lucy, they both loved to make people laugh wish there was still shows like that....

[katiebobby]

that was stupid of him to jump around. He made it gay.

[Noiseworker]

He IS gay, fuck-knuckle.

[katiebobby]

Me or him?

[drumrollgold]

If you knew John you would'nt think so. Backstage he had already split his pants and had no doubt cracked himself up over that nearly to the point of not being able to come on stage...

[harwetopa]

Oh, that is just rich!

[CUWMonger]

Doh, geez.. It's John Barrowman from Torchwood...

[daddymi]

i hate that jumping bean...err i mean guy

[hardlines4]

It was good till the GAY IDIOT jumping around like a jerk was trying to steal the scene!!

[clownboy3333]

Who the hell is that hack jumping around with NO sense of comedy.

What a pathetic guy.

Carol took it in stride but he ruined the moment.

What a Putz.

[livelimitlessly]

I TOTALLY AGREE!!!

[0crazyfrog0]

god I LOST it when she let it drop.

LMFAO x 500

[dancerbo1]

Yeah he TOTALLY made it less funny by flopping around like a fish. Other than that this clip is ... HI...LARIOUS!!!!!!!! Love Carol!!

[FrankiesMom]

What a scene stealer the young man is. Miss Burnett could have made this even funnier if he hadn't pulled the focus to himself by jumping around like a grasshopper.

[danasaramel]

hilarious. cant stop laughing so hard. it was funny. and really ,great pair of legs for a woman her age.hahahahaha. love you carol.

[thezaylady]

She's got a fabulous pair of legs. What a way to show them off!

lol

[KeriannGilson]

It doesnt get any better than that folks!!! Carol is the best!!

[Emokoi]

that was well timed I simply couldn't stop giggling XD

[646guy]

At 2:05 Carol begins to freak out as the skirt begins to fall...

[kibe090]

well thats one way to do a entrance

[goldbergje]

I rather enjoy the fact that John Barrowman did a Tom Cruise on Carol's ass...although I can't garantee I wouldn't have done the *same* in his shoes LOLOLOL

[livelimitlessly]

Now THAT"S FUNNY!!

[cgolson]

LOL

I love Carol Burnett!!

YOu rock

[Paramore6389]

I think he split his pants around 2:00... I am not sure, though. I love Carol!!!! She is hilarious!!!

[Ciao437]

He doesn't split his pants in the blooper - he splits his pants in Act One of the DVD

[pinklover0208]

my god you gotta love her!

[sevadaj]

Carol Burnett, you are the best!

[birdiesmom]

Lay off John -- if you've done stage work, you'll understand. He's a little nervous, he has the adrenalin rush of the performance, he's obviously in total awe of working with Carol, and it was pretty funny.

[CGA214]

I agree, birdiesmom.

[norm58]

Carol! Carol! Carol! Gotta love Carol!!!!

[sevadaj]

Carol, your the best! :-)

[phillieboy]

Ohh ruthie henshall... I love the way she says "he split his pants"

[Going2Alaska]

That guy in the middle was hilarious!

[Alarmer68guns]

i love John in Torchwood now....but this is great...

[sally1112]

Love Carol!

[ryanc12345]

That one guy definitely did spaz a bit too much!

[turbo1964]

He was on an adrenalin rush from acting - give him a break.

[Zerofret]

Yeah, acting like a complete tool...it was an Over-adrenaline rush from OVER-acting!

[dramagal19]

No he was finding it funny beacause he riped his pants the same night or the night before or someting.

[Zerofret]

Still though...its not THAT funny

[brandnewyork48]

i feel that was a slight overeaction from john but all the same, still very funny! and she dealt with it so well!

[ksnygirl]

if you listen closely from 3:42 to 3:44 you can hear George Hearn doing a laugh reminiscent of "A Little Priest"!

I LOVE JOHN BARRWOMAN!

(and of course, Carol and George)

[ke3wh]

what a dork he is

[sebion]

Thanks for this. Great laugh.

[nhoverhaulinfan2]

lol

5 stars

[RosesLavender]

The ghosts of the Carol Burnett show had a great time that night for sure!! Just to imagine if Tim, Harvey, and Vicki had been on the stage with her..first getting caught in the curtain and then her skirt. Thanks for posting this!
