MeTV Presents Rarely Seen Carol Burnett Show Episodes; Sherri Shepherd to Host GSN Trivia Series

Starting Sunday, April 14, 2019, lost episodes of the groundbreaking The Carol Burnett Show will return to broadcast television only on MeTV, America's #1 classic television network. Airing Sunday nights at 10:30pm ET/PT and Monday-Friday at 11pm ET/PT, these rarely seen episodes will showcase sketches from the first five seasons of the longstanding series, including the premiere episode with Jim Nabors, who became Burnett's "good luck charm" and first appearances of iconic characters, like pitiful Eunice and air-headed Mrs. Wiggins, who fans continue to adore. Many of these milestone episodes have never aired beyond their original debut – until now on MeTV. The Carol Burnett Show made history when it debuted on CBS in 1967 as the first comedy variety series ever hosted by a woman. Accompanied by supporting cast members Vicki Lawrence, Harvey Korman, Lyle Waggoner and Tim Conway, Burnett showcased her signature charm to over 30 million viewers per week. In 1977, the show was reedited for syndication and repackaged as Carol Burnett and Friends, which only included sketches from Seasons 6-11.
