Accepting the IndieWire Honors Vanguard Award at Citizen News in Hollywood, the comedy legend and "Palm Royale" star reflected on her past life as an aspiring journalist.

The icon revealed her hopes for an Apple TV+ reunion with her legendary scene partner from "The Carol Burnett Show" in an interview with IndieWire.

"As an artist, as a comedian, as a producer, as a friend, as a cat lover, there's no part of Carol Burnett that doesn't just blow my mind," Dern tells IndieWire about the IndieWire Honors Vanguard Award winner.

"You have to remember that you may be used to this, but the person asking the question or sitting in the audience, it’s their first time," the IndieWire Honors Vanguard Award winner said. "You have to always treat it like that."

"I didn't want little children who watched our show... to see me on the street and say, 'Mommy, that's the man who killed Carol Burnett.'"

The season's first glimpse of life outside New Mexico is a reminder that one of the only things changing about the show's central character is his name.

Andrews was not only reunited with her younger “Sound of Music” co-stars, she was treated to a performance of “Edelweiss” by Cynthia Erivo.

Upon receiving her award from the Paley Center for Media last night, Burnett recalled that she was told 50 years ago that comedy variety was "not for you gals."

Steve Carell introduced the comedy legend, joking of her kindness, "It has been said that she makes Tom Hanks look like an asshole."

It's a bit like watching a much cuter version of yourself teaching a much funnier version of your grandparents how to FaceTime.

The new unscripted series, set for 2018, will feature the comedy legend interacting with the pint-size set.
