    My mom and dad loved the Carol Burnett show! I was to young to appreciate it at the time. As I grew older it was magic. Especially between Tim Conway and Harvey Corman. The people on the show were the OG of comedy. Tim, by far made me laugh the hardest. ā€˜Thanks for the memoriesā€™ šŸŽ¼šŸ¤£šŸ˜˜

    To all those who have passed away in this decade, including my dear and late Grandmother, I'll forever miss you all and I'll forever say Hail and Farewell, along with saying Thank you for the Memories.
  • That was a very nice tribute!!! I'm 49, it reminds me that life is short and you have to make the most of it.
  • @jtrost87
    I don't know if this is morbid or not but I look forward to this segment every year. To me it showcases individuals who dared to dream and worked to achieve their dream. It reminds us that life is finite and we should do our best each and every day.

  • @shyman99
    I sure feel sorry for the people who pass away on the last three days of the year who will never get the recognition they deserve.

    Never stay still while you're still breathing, seems to be the way to live longer.
