Charlize Theron, Bob Odenkirk and More Have a good time Carol Burnett

What began as a panel with key forged members to debate the jaw-dropping second season of “Palm Royale” became a star-studded surprise tribute to rejoice Carol Burnett’s final appearance on the Apple TV series,

Following a special screening of the show’s Season 2 finale on Thursday on the Wolf Theater in North Hollywood, Vince Gilligan, Rhea Seehorn, Bob Odenkirk, Charlize Theron, Jane Lynch and Bob Mackie made unexpected appearances as Yvette Nicole Brown, who moderated the event, asked if anyone within the audience had any questions for the “Palm Royale” forged because the lights turned on. 

“I can’t consider you’re here!” said Burnett when she saw Gilligan, who she worked with on “Higher Call Saul.” Keeping the reunion going, Seehorn stood up and asked Burnett, “How do you turn out to be a legend?” (“You reside to be 93,” Burnett laughed, to raucous applause.)

Odenkirk also quipped about acting alongside Burnett within the show: “What was it like working with Carol? Now, you will need to know that I do know the reply to this query,” he said. “She’s all the time on time and I used to be late. That made me look bad and she or he doesn’t count her lines. I do, which I consider the actor’s first job, count your lines. Be sure you might have probably the most,” the actor joked. 

Jane Lynch, who worked with Burnett on “Glee,” said, “Your sublime performance in what we just watched up on this enormous screen reminds all of us of the love that we’ve for you. We couldn’t adore you more.”

After hailing Burnett as “so way more than a legend,” Theron said, “You’re only a fucking broad.” Theron also shared a fun fact: “Did that I play Wordle with Carol Burnett? And she or he’s a fucking cheat.”

“You’ll be able to’t cheat at Wordle!”  Burnett proclaimed. Even Michelle Obama made a virtual appearance to mark the occasion, sending her congratulations to the icon. 

Bernadette Peters closed the evening with an emotional rendition of “I’m So Glad We Had This Time Together,” fittingly ending her performance with Burnett’s classic ear tug. 

On “Palm Royale,” Burnett played Norma Dellacorte, a central figure within the lives of the women of Palm Beach. But Burnett became a Hollywood fixture long before she stepped into the role — the star is probably best known for “The Carol Burnett Show,” which ran for 11 seasons from 1967 to 1978. Previously, Burnett told Variety that “Palm Royale” would likely be her last acting job as she began to retire from being onscreen. “Probably,” she said, before adding, “Unless there’s a cameo or something fun!”

Before the panel became a celebration of Burnett, the legendary actress talked about playing Norma. “When [Abe Sylvia] called me, he said, ‘We’re going to do that show and we’d love you to be in it.’ I said, ‘Well, who’s in it?’ He said, ‘Kristen Wiig, Allison Janney, Leslie Bibb, Laura Dern, Ricky [Martin].’ I said, ‘Stop. I’m in. I don’t care what you would like me to do. I would like to lock eyeballs with all of those people,’” she recalled. “We had an amazing time and now I’ve got all these recent young friends. It’s wonderful.” 

“Palm Royale” creator Sylvia and forged members Wiig, Martin, Bibb, Mindy Cohn, Julia Duffy, Amber Chardae Robinson and Josh Lucas also joined the panel to debate their experiences working on the season.
