TV Guide - February 23 - March 1, 1963
Carol Creighton Burnett (born April 26, 1933) Stage, film and television actress, comedian, singer, and writer, whose career spans seven decades of television. She is best known for her groundbreaking comedy variety show, The Carol Burnett Show, originally aired on CBS. It was one of the first of its kind to be hosted by a woman. She has achieved success on stage, television and film in varying genres including dramatic and comedic roles. She has also appeared on various talk shows and as a panelist on game shows. She would later have several daughters joining her in variety of American television series and films.
She was cast in a minor role on The Paul Winchell and Jerry Mahoney Show in 1955. She played the girlfriend of a ventriloquist’s dummy on the popular children’s program. This role led to her starring role opposite Buddy Hackett in the short-lived sitcom Stanley from 1956–57.
She worked as a regular on one of television’s earliest game shows, Pantomime Quiz, during this time. In 1957, just as she was achieving her first small successes, her mother died. In October 1960, Burnett debuted at New York’s Blue Angel Supper Club, where she was discovered by scouts for The Jack Paar Show and The Ed Sullivan Show
In 1959 she became a regular player on The Garry Moore Show for the next three years, and won her first Emmy Award in 1962. Burnett had her television special debut in 1963 when she starred as Calamity Jane in the Dallas State Fair Musicals production of Calamity Jane on CBS. Burnett moved to Los Angeles, California, and began an 11-year run as star of The Carol Burnett Show on CBS television from 1967 to 1978. With its vaudeville roots, The Carol Burnett Show was a variety show that combined comedy sketches with song and dance. The comedy sketches included film parodies and character pieces. Burnett created many memorable characters during the show’s run, and both she and the show won numerous Emmy and Golden Globe Awards.
With her success on the Moore Show, Burnett finally rose to headliner status and appeared in the special Julie and Carol at Carnegie Hall (1962), co-starring with her friend Julie Andrews. She also guest-starred on a number of shows during this time, including The Twilight Zone episode “Cavender Is Coming”.
She became good friends with Jim Nabors, who was enjoying great success with his series Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. As a result of their close friendship, she played a recurring role on Nabors’ show as a tough corporal, later gunnery sergeant (starting with the episode “Corporal Carol”). Later, Nabors was her first guest on her variety show each season, as she considered him to be her good-luck charm. (Wikipedia)

According to his daughter Danielle, we lost Walter Koenig last night (Sunday, October 25th, 2026) at the age of 90.
Born in Chicago and raised in New York, he attended Grinnell and UCLA and trained at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York. He took that experience back to Los Angeles started to appear on television in the early 1960s. He secured guest spots on popular shows like The Untouchables and Combat! before joining the cast of Star Trek in its second season in a part created specifically to attract a younger audience. He played Pavel Chekov through the end of the series in 1969 and while his character was dropped from the cast for Star Trek: The Animated Series, he did write “The Infinite Vulcan,” a fan favorite.

He returned to the Enterprise for Star Trek: The Motion Picture (writing the on-set diary Chekov’s Enterprise during production) and had a significant role in Nicholas Meyer’s Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, in which his character had grown to become first officer of the U.S.S. Reliant. He continued appearing in the Star Trek films through Generations, providing some very funny moments in Star Trek IV and Star Trek V.
Koenig’s other major television role came in the 1990s as the sinister Psi Cop Alfred Bester on Babylon 5, a recurring part that many fans consider his strongest work as an actor, a deliberate contrast to Chekov’s earnestness.
Koenig’s body of non-Trek writing is small but well worth seeking out, with a voice that is wry, uncomfortable, and more interested in failure and self-doubt than in heroics. His one novel, Buck Alice and the Actor-Robot, first published in 1988, is a bleak satirical science fiction story set in a post-apocalyptic America where the survivors of an alien invasion are as petty and deluded as the world that preceded them; it bears no resemblance to the optimism of Trek and reads more like a cousin to Vonnegut or Sheckley.
His 1997 memoir Warped Factors: A Neurotic’s Guide to the Universe covers his childhood, his training as an actor, his marriage, and his struggles with anxiety and self-doubt with a candor that caught many readers off guard, treating the famous television role as one chapter in a life rather than its center. He returned to memoir decades later with Beaming Up and Getting Off: Life Before and After Star Trek, which revisits similar territory with the perspective of age, including the loss of his son Andrew.
He was never in the public eye as much as Shatner or Nimoy, but like the rest of the bridge crew some fans dubbed “the magnificent seven,” Koenig was a vital part of Trek’s fandom, always welcome at conventions. His ability to make fun of himself as well as his cohorts ensured that the audience walked away happy at the end of a roundtable or interview.
He will be missed.
