How he landed Carol Burnett


He told a really interesting story on TALKING SAUL of how he landed Carol Burnett.

He was very modest and spoke about getting picked up in a Limo for the Academy Awards, but that he normally doesn't go for that level of extravagance. One time his Limo driver was Carol Burnett's regular driver. They got to talking about what a huge Breaking Bad fan she was. So Vince passed a note to Carol through the Limo driver, and they started exchanging notes this way.

Finally they got to meet, and their visit culminating with Carol agreeing to a role on Better Call Saul!

Cool story. Carol is BOSS. Tim Conway, Jr. has a radio show in L.A. I love it when he talks about his dad and mom.

I watched the Carol Burnett Show growing up. Tim Conway, Harvey Korman, Carol and Vicki were hilarious. What great comedy that was; unmatched today.
