Eunice and Mrs. Wiggins were my favorites, though I admit I never did get to see "John Girl" (complete with birthmark)!

The Mods tend to remove links to retailers directly competing with QVC. I've never had a link deleted for something like a YouTube video. I'll supply the one you refer to. 

Here is a link to a couple of The Walnuts skits with the John Girl character. Hope you laugh.

My personal favorite was with Tim Conway and Harvey Korman doing a skit called At The Dentist. I don't think either of them kept a straight face as the skit progressed. 
True, it wasn't a Carol Burnett character, but oh so funny!

In my opinion nothing will top Starlet and Ratt. I liked it because it was so unexpected. 

 

Bob Mackie came up with such a clever costume. And Carol Burnett played it so well.

 

Also, I saw Carol Burnett on The Lucy Show. She appeared in several shows. In one episode she played a shy librarian. But after a few glasses of "Italian water". She was singing Hard Hearted Hannah.

 

Glad that there is film of Carol Burnett's characters. She is quite an entertainer.

 

PS - Look at all the varied costumes. She must have kept the wardrobe department hopping.

She is truly the Queen of Sketch Comedy.  Her complete show airs on PBS in my area on Wednesday nights.  The 1/2 shows always eliminate the musical numbers.  And I love when they start cracking up in the middle of the skits.

 

I love Eunice and the Gone with the Wind parody is truly a classic.  My dance studio is doing TV Land as their showcase and I am making a special appearance as the Char Woman . . . in addition to the other dances I'm performing.
