With her 23rd Emmy nomination coming 62 years after she was first nominated for “The Garry Moore Show” in 1962, Carol Burnett has now been nominated for 14 different shows. The one she’s best known for is “The Carol Burnett Show,” her long-running and wildly popular variety show that ran from 1967 until 1978.

But there were also variety specials (“Julie and Carol at Carnegie Hall,” “Sills and Burnett at the Met”), dramas (“6 Rms Riv Vu,” “Friendly Fire,” “Law & Order: SVU”) and comedies (“The Larry Sanders Show,” “Mad About You”). And now, at the age of 91, one of the most beloved entertainers of the television age has been nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for the Apple TV+ comedy “Palm Royale,” in which she steals more than a few scenes as Norma Dellacorte, a rich society dame who spends a third of the season in a coma and then another big chunk of it conscious but unable to talk except in grunts and squawks.
