Comedy icon [Carol Burnett](https://www.biography.com/performer/carol-burnett) and the millions who have watched her Emmy-winning variety series, _The Carol Burnett Show_ , over the years may not have had that time together had it not been for the generosity of some anonymous benefactors. On at least two occasions, strangers — like so many since — were so enamored by Burnett's raw talent and undeniable magnetism that they made investments that have yielded dividends in the form of the countless laughs the comedian has elicited over the span of her 60-plus -year career.
