Nov. 6 (UPI) — Legendary comedian and seven-time Emmy winner Carol Burnett<\/a> was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> Live! Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The 92-year-old actress was there to promote Season 2 of Palm Royale, but she also shared memories about climbing the famed Hollywood sign as a child.\n<\/p>\n

In addition, Burnett recalled visiting Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, now known as the TCL Chinese Theatre, where she couldn’t afford to see first-run movies. 80 years later, she would have her hands and footprints enshrined in cement alongside those of her favorites stars, such as Betty Grable<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Burnett talked about the many luminaries she has worked with over the years, including Sammy Davis<\/a> Jr., Rod Serling<\/a>, the Jackson 5, Ricky Martin<\/a> and Kristen Wiig.<\/p>\n

She also dished about being in a Wordle group where she routinely beats Julia Louis- Dreyfus, Charlize Theron<\/a> and Allison Janney<\/a>, who have jokingly accused her of cheating.\n<\/p>\n
