\t\t\t\t\tWhat To Know<\/p>\n

Carol Burnett revealed on a podcast that guest star Betty Grable had a \u201creally loud\u201d burping problem on the set of The Carol Burnett Show.
\nBurnett recounted a humorous backstage moment when Martha Raye joked about Grable\u2019s burping, making Burnett laugh hysterically before going on stage.
\nBurnett also shared a sentimental memory of comparing her handprints to Grable\u2019s at Grauman\u2019s Chinese Theatre, reflecting on her own legacy in show business.<\/p>\n

Carol Burnett<\/a> recently revealed that a guest star on The Carol Burnett Show<\/a> had a \u201creally loud\u201d burping problem on set.<\/p>\n

In the February 3 episode of the Good Hang With Amy Poehler<\/a> podcast, Burnett, 92, recalled having a famous actress, model, and pin-up girl on her variety show in 1968.<\/p>\n

Evidently, Hollywood icon Betty Grable<\/a> \u2014 known for films like Mother Wore Tights<\/a> and How to Marry a Millionaire<\/a>\u00a0was constantly burping on set. Grable guest-starred with Martha Raye<\/a> and performed \u201cHello, Dolly\u201d in a barn dance sketch.<\/p>\n

Burnett described Grable as \u201cadorable\u201d and \u201cvery funny.\u201d However, her love for soda resulted in excessive burping.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, Betty had a thing about Coca-Cola,\u201d she told podcast host Amy Poehler<\/a>. \u201cShe had to drink Coca-Cola all the time. So what would happen was, she would be going [mimics burping] constantly. I mean, really, really loud.\u201d<\/p>\n

Burnett continued, \u201cSo, we\u2019re in the wings ready and we\u2019re doing the show, and Betty and Martha and I are ready for our queue to go out, and Betty took [a drink] and [burped] again, and Martha Raye said, \u2018Oh, for God\u2019s sakes, Betty, why don\u2019t you just fart and save your teeth?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought I was gonna die,\u201d Burnett confessed through laughter. \u201cAnd then we had to go out and do the finale. I was just hysterical.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to the funny anecdote about Grable\u2019s gassiness, Brenett shared a heartwarming memory\u00a0 about her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember we would go to the Grauman\u2019s Chinese [Theatre], where they have the courtyard with everybody\u2019s handprints and footprints and so forth, and I remember putting my handprints into Betty Grable\u2019s handprints,\u201d she recalled. \u201cAnd just a few months ago, I got my handprints after all these years. And I remember putting my hand in, and I\u2019m wondering: Will somebody someday put their handprints on mine, you know? Wouldn\u2019t that be kind of wild?\u201d<\/p>\n
