Alice Portnoy Fireside Girl from The Carol Burnett Show (full sketch)

A severely hungover Harvey Korman is taken to the cleaners by blackmailing Fireside Girl "Alice Portnoy," played by Carol Burnett. About The Carol Burnett Show While there’s no truth to the rumor that “CBS” ever stood for The Carol Burnett Show, for eleven seasons and 278 episodes, this star-studded extravaganza of sketch comedy, song and dance became entertainment central for the network and TV viewers. Burnett operated in a relaxed theater setting that allowed her to take questions, cut loose with her famous Tarzan yell and join fellow performers Harvey Korman, Vicki Lawrence and Lyle Waggoner to have a laugh or sing a song. The show received 25 Emmy Awards and eight Golden Globes, making it one of the most honored shows in television history.
