Carol Burnett on turning 90: George Clooney’s on her ‘to-do’ list


He’s on her to-do list.

Looking ahead to her 90th birthday on April 26, comedian Carol Burnett revealed what’s left on her bucket list.

“George Clooney,” she joked during an interview with People for this week’s cover story.

This is not the first time Burnett has spoken publicly about her love for the Oscar-winning heartthrob.

During a 2013 appearance on “Larry King Now,” the former “Carol Burnett Show” star hinted at her Clooney affection.

“Are there parts of your life you wished you’d been asked about more?” wondered King, who died in 2021.

“Well, you know, is it true what’s going on between you and George Clooney would be interesting,” she joked in response.

The Post reached out to Burnett’s rep for comment.

While Burnett has accomplished so much in her decades-long career, she’s still sharpening her resume, like by appearing on “Better Call Saul” last year.

The series follows a struggling con artist named Jimmy McGill, played by Bob Odenkirk, as he transforms into a criminal lawyer named Saul Goodman.

It’s the prequel series to the hit TV show “Breaking Bad.”

Burnett, 89, appeared at the tail end of the show’s sixth and final season as an elderly mother who makes a notable discovery.

Odenkirk and his co-star, Rhea Seehorn, who played attorney Kim Wexler on the series, were extremely charmed by Burnett while working with her on set.

“She’s brilliant, brilliant in this season,” Odenkirk said during an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” last year.

“Dramatic, so believable, and just an amazing person to be with and hear her stories and then to watch her act.”

Seehorn also added of the actress, “She was a huge fan of the show, and that’s how she came to talk to Vince about it, and that’s insane to meet like a legend that they’re like, ‘I like your work,’ and I’m like, ‘What? Why?’”


NBC will be honoring the star in a two-hour special on April 26.
