Well hope you all had a nice Christmas. It's that funny 'tween time now, when 'taint Christmas and 'taint New Years. So I thought I'd fill in the gap between the two holidays with a few fun old videos from our friends at YouTube. (my apologies to anyone whose work blocks out YouTube). For everyone else, I hope you enjoy this campy collection of Carol Channing videos. (after all, she is practically my neighbor)Below: you just can't beat Carol Channing, Della Reese, Ann Miller and Ethel Merman on The Love Boat...
And below, here is a VERY short clip with her now immortal role in "Thoroughly Modern Millie". Carol plays a rich, madcap widow named Muzzy Van Hossmere, who makes her big entrance flying in a biplane, sloshing champagne, and screaming "Raaaassspberries!"
And finally, below this clip from Alice in Wonderland with Miss Carol Channing playing the White Queen.

Rick - I know I'm going to lose Princess Points for this but.....I thought Carol Channing was dead. Thank you for setting me straight on this one...so to speak.

Dear, you do know a good Diva! TNX
She's still alive?! AHAHAHAAHAHAH!!!
Well I'm sure she looks better than Zsa Zsa! Did ya ever hear the joke about Carol?
She was in a bathroom stall and someone overheard her say in her typical voice, "Corn?! I don't remember having any corn!"
