Is Carol Burnett Still Alive And How Old Is She

Okay, let’s tackle the question that’s been rattling around your brain (and probably mine, too, after that late-night comedy binge): Is Carol Burnett still alive? I’m happy—no, thrilled—to report a resounding yes. The queen of sketch comedy, the master of the ear tug, is very much with us. And not just with us, but thriving.

So, how old is she? Carol Burnett was born on April 26, 1933, which means as of right now, she’s a magnificent 91 years young. Let that sink in. She’s been making us laugh for over six decades—that’s longer than most of us have been alive! She’s practically a national treasure who moonlights as a walking historical archive of hilarity. (I imagine her coffee table has a copy of Great Comedians and a framed photo of herself, just to keep things humble.)

And here’s the best part: she’s not just alive; she’s active. She’s still doing interviews, cracking jokes, and recording voice work. She even popped up recently to talk about her new children’s book. 91 years old and still publishing books—meanwhile, I can’t find my car keys. She’s out here showing us that age is just a number, and that number is hilarious.

So, worry not, comedy fans. The legend lives on, bringing joy like a grandma who sneaks you extra cookies—except these cookies are timeless punchlines. Let’s raise a pretend cup of coffee (or a glass of something stronger) to Carol: alive, kicking, and reminding us that laughter really is the best medicine. She’s proof that some stars never fade—they just get a little more sparkle. Now go watch her do the Tarzan yell. You’ll thank me later.
