ED SULLIVAN SHOW, THE {CAROL BURNETT SEGMENTS}
(TV)

Summary

Two segments from an episode of "The Ed Sullivan Show," a variety program presided over by Sullivan. He introduces both segments, as performed by "the TV sensation of the year," Carol Burnett. She first sings "I Made a Fool of Myself Over John Foster Dulles," a comic tribute to the secretary of state under President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Returning later in the broadcast, Burnett performs "Puppy Love," sung as a parody of teen-geared love ballads, in the character of six-year-old Googie Fortitude.

(Series title varies; as above, 1955-1971; as "The Toast of the Town," 1948-1955.)
