In a beautiful tribute, the biggest names in Hollywood come out to celebrate comedy legend Carol Burnett’s 90^th birthday.

Throughout the special, clips of Burnett’s career from her iconic television show to her many special programs (most costarring her “best chum” Julie Andrews) to her movie roles are shown.

With too many stars to count, three tributes stand out most. Andrews, who sat by Burnett’s side for the entirety of the event, reflects on their 60+ year friendship. Vicki Lawrence, the last surviving The Carol Burnett Show costar, speaks of how Burnett plucked her from obscurity. And Aileen Quinn, who played the titular Annie alongside Burnett’s Miss Hannigan, performs “Tomorrow.”

It’s hard to imagine comedy without Burnett and the scenes played will make you howl with laughter.

Final say: Can you believe we’ve lived in the time of Carol Burnett? ★★★★★
