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

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

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