Carol Burnett accepted the very first Carol Burnett Award for outstanding achievement in television this weekend at the Golden Globes, and of course it was everything you expected. 

The TV legend wowed the crowd with her beautiful speech, wherein she spoke about her family and her love for TV. 

“My first love growing up was the movies. I would see as many as six to eight films a week with my grandmother, who raised me,” she told the crowd. “Then later when I was a teenager we got our first television set. Then I had a new love.”

She continued, “Regardless of the medium, what fascinated me was the way the stars on the screen could make people laugh or cry or sometimes both. And I wished, and I hoped that maybe, just maybe some day, I could have the chance to do the same thing.”

She also spoke on modern TV networks, saying they would “never take a chance” on her groundbreaking The Carol Burnett Show today: “So here’s to reruns and YouTube,” she quipped, before concluding her remarks with a signature tug of her left ear ― a nod to her grandmother, Mabel.
