Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are no doubt the queens of comedy these days!
But the Sisters stars — like many others — regard another truly talented actress as a trailblazer for women and comedy! In case you don’t know who she is, we’ll help…
Before the ladies of Saturday Night Live, Amy Schumer, or Broad City, this star was a staple of television in the late 1960s with her variety show that ran for ELEVEN years!

And over 50 years later, Tina and Amy will present the comedic legend with her life achievement award at this year’s SAG Awards! AH-mazing!
Need more hints? Well, she costarred in the 1982 movie version of Annie…
At the end of each episode of her show, this funny lady would tug her left ear — which was a special message to her grandmother saying, “Hello, I love you.”
Give up? The recipient is… Carol Burnett!
Countless actors credit The Carol Burnett Show star with being HUGE influences on their careers — Tina and Amy included!
The 82-year-old will be the 52nd recipient of the esteemed award, joining the ranks of Dick Van Dyke, Mary Tyler Moore, James Earl Jones, Julie Andrews, Angela Lansbury, and Sidney Poitier!
Watch the SAG Awards to hear the comedienne’s heartfelt (and joke filled) speech January 30 at 8 p.m. EST on TNT and TBS!
