The Apple comedy series Mrs. American Pie has added the comedy legend Carol Burnett to the cast. Kristen Wiig, Ricky Martin, Josh Lucas, Allison Janney, and Leslie Bibb will act alongside her. Carol Burnett will play the queen bee Norma of Palm Beach high society. She holds many secrets and has quite a few of her own. Abe Sylvia wrote the series, and Tate Taylor is directing it. Kristen Wiig plays the lead that wants to fit into Palm Beach high society in the 1970s. Laura Dern and Jayme Lemons under Jaywalker Pictures are producing the Apple comedy series. Katie O’Connell Marsh is an executive producer through Boat Rocker. Critics will have high expectations for the series since Carol Burnett is on board, who has had an iconic career. Her career has spanned seven decades, with many awards, television appearances, and film appearances. Mrs. American Pie has an acclaimed cast.
Carol Burnett Will Add Her Comedic Expertise to the Apple Comedy Series
One of her most iconic roles was her self-titled show, The Carol Brunett Show. The series ran for 11 seasons from 1967 to 1978. It cemented Carol Burnett into Hollywood stardom. She played Agatha Hannigan in the 1982 film Annie. Carol Burnett has a Tony, Emmy, Grammy, and Golden Globe Awards under her belt. Burnett most recently starred in the Mad About You revival and voiced Chairol Burnett in Toy Story 4. Now she’ll play a Palm Beach High Society mean girl in the Apple comedy series Mrs. American Pie. Her performance will most likely be more subtle than the nastiness of Ms. Hannigan. The Apple comedy series adapted from the novel of the same name by Juliet McDaniel should be a good watch. Kristen Wiig is paving her own way to becoming a comedy legend. Carol Burnett, however, paved the way for female comedians.
